We continue to get awarded projects geared towards mixed use with apartments and lower level retail. 

I was awarded a judgement and I don't expect to be paid.

I've just recently been awarded $5,700 through a credit card that Sprout financing requested on my behalf.

Although the lowest bid is awarded your contact information, you can limit bidding by specifying a minimum ranking.

You can click on the ‘vote’ button if you like someone's post or is helpful, and there are ‘awards’ to earn on your profile.

I routinely request paycheck stubs, benefit award letters, banking information, and other documentation to backup what I'm able verify by phone.

Of course, our award winning local news station didn't bother to dig into that comment. 

Home to The Ohio State University with nearly 60,000 students, 5 fortune 500 companies, over +25% population change since 2000, 2016 smart city challenge award winner gaining 50 million dollars in funding from the government, Intel is spending 20 Billion dollars to build two semiconductor plants, and many many more great things presently and coming in the future.

They advised even winning I would spend more in lawyer fees than I’d get back and judges rarely award lawyers fees.  

It was a while ago, so maybe it was slightly higher, but the point being: if you think you will need $5mm in equity, you need a list of potential investors that "anticipate" investing $50ish million.Secondly, as you are getting started with other people's money, having that strong list will help brokers feel more confident in awarding you deals without a track record of deals that size.
