You can network with all sorts of local investors that may be doing what you want to do or attend focus group meetings to specialize in niches like multi family, flipping, landlording and more.

I've been interested in buying property in Cle Elum and would probably do some sort of vacation rental.

I use a sort of sandy tone.

In that case, yes, build a relationship with the gym and refer your guests for all sorts of classes and personal training.  

I would generally stay away from this model - something where maybe they do this through some sort of equity partnership where they are sharing the gains/risk from the deal while you are doing the bulk of the dirty work

Sort of a hidden cost, but still a cost to you.

It's not as if you are going to sue yourself if there's some sort of problem. 

Should I flip the first home, do a BRRR strategy of some sort on it to get more $$$ for another property. 

We of course could build an internal manual process with a virtual assistant of some sort, but I want to see if anything exists. 

yes, @Erwin Groenendijk:, I think banks are not as easy to convince for these sort of operations for individuals, but I want to explore all options like using partners (individuals that could and are willing to apply for mortgages) and other posibilities but using my company or creating one is not out of my options.I am not sure there is any current meet ups in Madrid, I have searched and not found much, I will keep searching... good to hear in Barcelona you have monthly meet ups.
