But when I'm using cash instead of financing and, on a smaller build (2/1, 1300 sq ft), I can save 25k to 30k in financing and another 30k or so in the other stuff, that adds up quick when you stack it on to the fact that the actual build costs are coming in well under retail.

Are you talking about Multifamily, retail, industrial?

At least in the retail world that I shop in. 

I wasn't sure if there was an "industry-standard" way to approach investors, luxury brokerages, etc. 

. - The insurance industry like many others (including our industry of home remodeling here in Chicago) has escalated exponentially in cost.I've got several local Chicago brokers I can share with you, but I think no matter what your rates & premiums have probably gone up...I will send over a couple of contacts for you.Just curious, what neighborhood of Chicago is your building in?

Also further north such as Port St Lucie where there are many new build res neighborhoods and commercial retail.

They have been approved for a single family home Fannie loan (cannot do FHA because my husband works in the Cannabis Industry and the gov't will not allow).
