Does someone know how it works with the 5 person podio team? 

Not sure why the disparity but I personally believe it is because most who pay for coaching are not strong enough in the 2 areas I referenced.Good luck

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

We personally don't close on properties unless they are vacant at close.Ask yourself, "What is the worst that could happen in this situation?

Area is growing, most houses sold in front of mine, 1M condo conversion just got built/sold on same street. 20mins to NYC Fidi.- Now looking to sell around 600k (redfin says its worth over 650k, not sure), with 3.3% 30yr fixed loan w 285k loan still, looking for around 315k+ profit.

If I had not done this and then let the tree fall on my home, then I could sue for negligence on their part but I'm not that type of person.

The chances of you quitting your 9-5 and doing real estate full time and being successful is similar to the photo below where everyone at the top in the crowd is thinking they can do it, and there is one person for every few thousand that can do it. 

You're income certainly isn't "normal" and some banks might shy away but this is a personal business and if you have a track record, I think you can find a bank to say yes.
