I see mostly out of state or out of country investors working with New Western in Birmingham because they don't have the knowledge of the city and surrounding areas.

It's going to create a problem for the industry how their not educated in this area.

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of the screen and look for local investors or meetups in your area.

I think you can go as high as 15% but it's cutting into your margins and depends if you are a GC yourself or not. 150k is close to a million or more.
