Best way to use large savings to buy real estate?

[Account Closed]

i am doing heavy amount of research and feel like inflation will grow in the next 2 years so i would like to buy some real estate rentals and a primary for a house hack. 

many have said all markets are pretty much the same that most are selling high and dont really cash flow but breaks even. which i do not like but the plus side it pays down the property to gain equity. 

i want to be wise with the funds so my idea is to buy a primary while also keeping an eye out for a rental and buy both in the coming year.

if i buy a rental before primary it could affect my DTI and mess up financing for a primary, i could be rushing things but i do not want to make mistakes.

i have read every book and ready to be a landlord not a issue. 

i have a good amount in index funds and max out retirement accounts. 

any tips on best use of my funds or what steps to do first in regards to rental or primary first then next this that etc, im not into REITS just physical rentals
