My plan was to buy, improve a bit (house was not in bad shape, just need some TLC), and rent out and hold at least 2~3 years.

If you continue to write offers (10-20) and NOTHING is still landing, you may want to go back and look at your underwriting or, better yet, have a more experienced Chicago investor take a look at it.Where and what type of properties are you making offers on?

Our project is raw land development so we're submitting everything all at once.

distressed deals come from the classic situations.Burnt out land lord.. house fallen into disrepair no money to fix it.. 

My contracts for land are contingent on the land entitlement being successful that way I am only on the hook for my pursuit and rezone cost if not successful.

Are buyers leaning toward creative financing, or are there other trends you’ve noticed shaping the market?

Hello BP community:I am under contract on some land that I am considering building multifamily on.It appears I can build approximately 80 units on the land (based on permitted density), which could be more or less units depending on the exact style of units we would construct (one or two story, etc).

This is very market dependent  also dependent on jobs and avaliable land to build etc.

I'd go to a market where the economics are the most favorable and focus on a strategy that is easy for you. we focus on new construction and land development in columbus ohio
