Second real estate investment, following up on a house hack.

[Dakota Ray]

I'm a beginner trying to make sure my basic strategy makes sense. I've got plans to start a house hack in the next 2 months. Assuming everything goes well I'm wondering what the next step should be. I've gotten some advice to stay in the property long enough to buy another investment and do a 1031 exchange . I've also gotten advice that simply I should start going for cash flow propertys.

Thanks for the input!
