What helped me learn real estate investing was just analyzing as many properties as possible to build the muscle. 

Their muscles get stronger.

We had 2 major things happen to us in our first syndication that probably could have sunk us if we didn't have a mentor with a lot of muscle to back us up and help us get through it!

The body does not require it to remain healthy with walking, bending and stretching associated with normal daily activities.If you are living a sedimentary life style your diet needs to reflect that fact however additional walking should be added to maintain flexibility of muscles through increased blood circulation. 

Hence why people sleep more when they work out- their bodies need to rebuild that muscle.

I have built my "savings" muscle (I'm a natural spender so this is a learned skill) in the process and have been saving every penny not going toward expenses. 

They potentially are trying to hide something by muscling their way in.  

Some nights by body literally was throbbing from head to toe. 

You bought in a bad area frankly, your going to have to muscle your way out and buy up the neighborhood and improve the region, or comes to terms with it.

These are all relatively simple projects that don't involve much capitol; just a good planning session and lot of sweaty, dirty, muscle-building work.
