reasearching and screening GCs
Newbie flip investor here.
I would like any advice on how to research, screen, and interview GCs for rehab projects. I was told to do background checks, but obviously only for 3 or 4 that I narrow it down to. Besides referrals, Thumbtack or Angie's list reviews, what can I do to find a superstar contractor? What research can I do online? what questions should I ask? Any terms that I need to clarify on the initial conversation? I will have a property under contract soon(seller countered and we will most likely accept the counter) and now there is this massive pressure to find a hire a great GC. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
