One of our borrowers who successfully flips on the South Side (Dobson, Park Forest, etc.) is capitalizing on the abundance of discounted rehab properties (on market and off market via wholesalers and the such), which is a key strategy given rising rates. 

In today’s competitive real estate market, where inventory is tight and opportunities seem few and far between, many potential buyers are overlooking a game-changing option: renovation loans like the 203(k) and HomeStyle.

I'm not sure what market you are in but I'm knowledgeable on Columbus Ohio if you ever want to talk about build to rent. it's not purchasing new builds at full market price, it's building it 25% below market yourself

In this market small multi families are not traded frequently meaning they do not have comps for these properties.

I'm familiar with the small town market, in general, and your long term exit strategy might be turning a building into a flea market.
