Question

How do you set up your origin for the Mirror modifier to work properly? Or do you just eyeball it? Also remesh appears to be more practice than a exact science, can you recommend something like a daily exercise to practice?

For this, you'll want your origin to be in the center on the X axis. There are multiple ways to do that. I would Shift + S, Cursor to Center, and then with the mesh you're having trouble with selected, press Shift + Control + Alt/Option + C and select Origin to 3D Cursor.
