With deals so tight, should I focus on another business for now?

In the past few years, flipping houses has been a major source of income for me, but deals have been so hard to find this year, that I've only flipped one house all year. Would this be a good time to shift my focus to starting a new business (like a home services business) to generate income, or should I just double down my efforts on finding flips? What are other flippers doing during this time?

GC FOR SURE. I opened a construction company to keep my flip contractors busy in between jobs and now the construction company makes 3 times what the flip business does due to lack of deals.
