Typically, I'll rehab and resell the property myself, but occasionally, the property will be in a location where I don't want to rehab, won't have the profit margins I want (but might for a landlord) or I just don't have the time/energy. 

Our local HVAC company offers a free energy audit with a infra-red scanner.

While I am concerned about the market due to energy price drops I usually have a lead or 2 I am not pursuing due to lack of down payment money. 

Stop wasting energy on those deals and move on.

Well there has already been a significant shedding of thousands of jobs in the energy sector here in Houston.

It takes a lot of energy, and I think I may be getting a little too experienced to be doing all the flips myself now.

I get your idea and have sold many solo, but I invested time and energy into knowing how. 

A team so that I don't have to do BS like put my listings into the MLS myself and take photos myself etc, and KW because of the amazing training my market center offers. eXp sounds cool but for me I really need an office to go to, I need the energy of other people and the lack of distractions I have at home.

Need to verify specifics but was just told about this pocket listing & here's what I know so far:For Sale 200 acre development for only $250K; has 130 lots (~20 lots are already developed with houses); lot size is from 0.75-1.5 acres; in Phase I of development (roads for about 40 homes are graded & graveled with electrical buried), rest of land has not been touched; owner is currently selling individual  lots from $15K - $25K (generally more expensive lots have a well & septic, cheaper lots don't); manufactured or stick-built homes allowed; restrictive covenants attached (waiting for document).Location is in a rural area in the SW; local economy is based on transportation, agriculture, energy, retirement & tourism; 3 miles from a major interstate highway; on a major shortcut between 2 interstate highways; 10 mile radius population is ~ 20K; closest city with over 100K is only 1 hour away; cost of living & living expenses are definitely on the low end, great for retirees and the cheaper than average labor.Quick overview & simple math tells me that only selling 90% of the lots at the low end of $15K is just about $1.5 million.

It will allow you to focus your energy and money on more worthwhile things...I bought into the peak in Phoenix in 2004, after seeing a 20% paper profit, it fell by like 60%...
