When I get up in the morning and workout, be it an hour lifting weights, a brisk jog, some form of cardio, yoga, swimming...whatever, I've found a direct correlation to my actual ability to create success in my life.

Have you applied other techniques to support your subsequent success in real estate such as meditation, yoga, exercise routine, improved diet, etc?

Get addicted to analyzing properties, reading books, jogging, yoga, gardening, cooking, etc.  

You will have high turnover this way though; the premium price point will likely continue to be a challenge for you until more yoga studios and Whole Foods pop up nearby, which does seem to be the trend. 

After a cup of coffee on the porch I want to go for a run with my significant other, or practice yoga..." 

Meditate, tai chi, yoga, it all does wonders over time but even in the short term, it will bring your body to a natural state of calm and balance. 

from what I've read so far, I know that following big companies head quarters, town renovations (parks, town life), and even yoga studios are markers of an up ad coming neighborhood. are there ways to find out what companies are coming into a town before the market rises?

I have thought about Real Estate Agent, or Property management but I don't hold any degrees, I am a military veteran with a yoga instructor and personal training certification only. 

As a family we all do yoga for an hour everyday.My happiness, health, networth, and cash flow have all gone up without the constraining ties of my job.
