Cash flow is hard to come by in the Boulder / Denver markets and although the extra monthly cash flow would be great, and there's plenty of places in Iowa that will cash flow, I'm wanting to scale quickly and feel Colorado would be a decent place for that. 

I raised the rent to $800 because I was planning to transition the units to paying for their own heat so a lower rent amount was fair.

Due to interest rates and overall market conditions, sourcing SHF or small multifamily LTRs that cash flow is still challenging unless you're putting down a significant amount or finding deals off-market.Nevertheless, my team and I still have an extensive network of investors focusing on SFH deals and small multifamily acquisitions. 

I’m trying to get into single family home real estate and I have been trying to get a feel for the type of cash flow involved.

Analyze financing and cash flow to assess return on investment.

Well the cash outlay is pretty minor.

Unfortunately, the cash-on-cash return isn't the same due to the interest rates.Should I proceed with the purchase now, or wait for interest rates to decrease before re-entering the market?

If you must sell sub-2, cash out the underlying financing and then do it yourself.
