Any tips you have for new investors to help them wisely pick their anchor properties?

I faced thus some time ago and was faced with a challenge because some many of my deals gave long gestation times or are complicated.So, I offer a total % of profit and have broken down as half a fee for info about the opportunity, and the other half for contact info, usually in the form of an intro to all principals. 

Any tips are appreciated.
