I would not let a GC pick finishes - especially if its a flip - if anything get a realtor to assist.In regards to doing this from afar, I recommend hiring a project manager for a few grand per month to oversee the project for you, if not you are relying 100% on the GC which is not something I recommend. 

Here's how I do my due diligence:1) Portfolio matching: (takes 30 seconds per deal)a) Have an educated opinion on where I think we are in the real estate cycles (financial and physical market cycles)b) Then and only then do I pick the strategies, capital stack, and specialized asset subclasses that make sense for that opinion.

okc market is at historic lows for leasing(especially September) it has picked up some in Oct. 

or even more.not saying you're considering going that far out but just using an example that i can speak to.my actionable step for you after picking a market would be: make a trip to that market every month and network in person. 

For example, the owner's name or the property's name (I picked this one).

Unfortunately, we picked a bad time, because a game just finished, and people were streaming out of Wrigley Field.

Just be mindful to keep relationships with your tenants strong.I’m curious... if you had to pick just one route right now..sell, refinance, or optimize..where do you think you’d lean, and why?

Just pick your properties correctly.
