How do i know if a lender is legit ?

[Edi Mari]

Hi,

First post ever so apologizing up front if this question is not according to forum rules.

So, we started a process to finance one of our properties, as we are out of state investors and as this is the first time we are taking a load, i have few question.
1. how do i know if the lender is legit ? i mean how can i check that this is not a scam or something similar ? e.g 1210 Capital, they have linkedin page, facebook etc' but how can i be sure they are legit ?
https://www.linkedin.com/company/1210-capital/


2. In continuation to my first question, one of the lenders which we liked his terms, asked for our bank statements, is it safe to share it ? i have my bank account number there 

Thanks and have a great day!
