When in another market  I have folks who do not return calls or can not give me additional details, I mind!

Setup time to speak to a few of them to learn more about their model and get a feel for how they answer your questions, how they treat you during the call.Be prepared to share your net worth, income, and investment history with them if you want move forward.For the ones you like (after speaking with them), maybe have them send you example investor communications on prior deals so you can see how they communicate to keep investors informed.Once you've narrowed it down you'll want to further evaluate the sponsor Track record, references, etc.Have them present a past deal in detail to try to understand their assumptions, are they conservative, etc.You can use the BP Tenant Screening tool to get criminal and credit history.

Having said that, it’s a great program with some incredible time-saving tools that I haven’t seen anywhere else, in-person workshops that give you time to talk through details and personal applications, not just the investing overview you received, people who are a phone call away to talk you through deals when you get stuck, and a great network of like-minded people.

Just a little background before we get into the details.

Details: take pictures, facetime, check out the neighbor hood, neighbors yards...etc.

I am not a professional accountant so I would check with one for the details but I am almost sure this is the case. 

I know gaining trust is a key factor in making them feel comfortable with their investment, but again it is more difficult for someone to feel comfortable with you when you have only met via video chat. 

@Nick Tzenevrakis you are leaving out details on the property.

I think what you might be looking for is here.http://www.baltimoresustainability.org/projects/gr...has maps at the bottom and 4 specific neighborhoods with more detail halfway down the page.
