Columbus OH newbie looking to screen GCs

[Mike German]

I'm a newbie in the Columbus, OH area and wanted to get some insights in working with with GC's. I have a few that have been referred to me and wanted to survey BP for the best way to interview/screen them. My strategy is to buy/hold SFHs-Quads. All of the properties I've analyzed seem to some work (more than lipstick on a pig) but I am avoiding the total gut properties Is it worth making initial intro/grab coffee to meet the new GC before I have a property identified? What are the best questions to ask them? How do you keep them on task and what recourse do you have if the consistently blow up the budget/ exceed timeline? Thanks in advance for your insight!
