The trick is to not take things personal.

You'll need 7-10 quality doors.Going the full scale--- lower barrier to entry, lots of doors, etc.

If you plan to expand your portfolio, starting with a 4-plex might provide a stronger foundation for future investments.It's also worth consulting with a local real estate agent or financial advisor who specializes in investment properties to get personalized advice based on your financial situation and market conditions.Best of luck with your investment!

Though personally I'd want you to get your financials dialed in if they aren't already.

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.  

As other responses have said the build quality and builder reputation are important.
