Meditations would be a book I'd recommend to everyone I know because I'm a huge fan of the Stoic philosophy - it's not a book about real estate investing though just to point that out - I got the Gregory Hays version and really enjoyed reading it.

The next morning as I was working out, and then meditating before starting my day it came to me clear as day, "If it was that easy everyone would be doing it", and a quote by Thomas Edison, " I had no choice but to succeed, as I had ran out of the wrong way of doing it".  

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. 

My brain has gone into crisis mode, and even with meditation, there are too many ideas/stress swirling around I cannot sort them out.

I usually then make some time to meditate, 10-15 minutes of silent sitting.

I am a strong believer in meditation.

Just a couple of ideas:  find the deal, get the seller to finance it, or get a partner, do a 'subject-to' deal, build up a private money investment network.There are so many more avenues to acquiring real estate besides conventional financing, I'd recommend you put some of that positive cash flow into more education or meditation to free your mind to birth another way of doing deals.Namaste.

I recommend daily meditation.

I still use his exercise in meditation.

I think its something you have to meditate on and answer for yourself.
