I would take whatever capital you have and find an extremely experienced investor/team in that space to partner with.

Here's why:If you are thinking buying turnkey, i assume you are looking for extremely passive ownership, as do I. 

More than likely you'll disappoint your friends at some point.

Probably because I legit LOVE what I do, I really do.Now, a very key point, I'm not a Top-Producer because I specialize in REI and that's extremally unique itself to be one of the legit few, I slay because I have a passion for what I do, I get jacked-up about negotiating DOWN a great buy to make it a ridiculously awesome buy even though it cut's my commissions down, because I'm a sick-twisted addict who can't stop my thrill of the hunt, lol.

You have to do extreme Due diligence for your "Opportunity" zone investment.

also, my properties perform pretty well (both in terms of cashflow and appreciation), which makes managing them much more enjoyable (the job would be pretty miserable if you're not making much money, or losing money).I would assume you're correct -- that people who have C and lower properties (or properties that don't make much money) often drop out pretty quickly...managing a D property would be extremely stressful and difficult--not a job I'd want (not for any amount of cashflow)!

So, as an extreme example, if the property needed to be built (so we say the current home value is $0) but it's ARV is $200K, our CapEx could accommodate the full $200K being replaced in a single year rather than 50 or 100 years (depending on the CapEx % we like to use: 1%-2%).

I am entering a new stage in my life, but as a young graduate, am extremely determined to save money for myself in this extremely costly environment that has developed over the past several years.

Once I start having some success there, now I don't look at California and get disappointed, now I just enjoy exploring creative strategies and making my network in different states, and talking with amazing people making money in unique ways. 

San Antonio’s soil gets extremely dry and can crack in the summer.
