What Should I do next?

hey family

I recently purchase my first duplex last year in which I'm currently house hacking form of finance a FHA loan. I'm saving the rental income, my credit score is almost excellent, and my debt to income ratio is low. You all think I should purchase a single family home through a short sale or foreclosure in which I would use a conventional loan and later pull out a second mortgage to purchase more property or purchase another duplex? I'm in fear the duplex might alter my debt to income ratio preventing me from doing more deals.
