How do I vet a non local private lender?

[Isaac Chun]

Hello, I am still learning how to do my due diligence. I need some sound advice on how I go about vetting a private investor that has contacted me from BP. 

As a piece of reference, his name is Steven Wilson. I would like to accept his offer, but want to be sure I’m not being led into a scam of sorts. 

Please help me out fellow BP’ers😉😁
