I would recommend house hacking especially if it is your first deal for couple of reasons : - will bring down your housing expenses - find a property with some value add options ( use minimal down payment and use your remainder of cash for improvements ) , this will give you a boost in equity that can be used to buy more RE later- self managing via house hacking will take out property management expense and will teach you more on RE investing - house hacking will also give you the best loan product and chance to enter in high appreciating neighborhoods with very less money 

Airbnb can be a great way to boost revenue, I own/manage for others and net out 30-40% higher then LTR but make sure your business is NEVER reliant on it as in the property still must cashflow positive without airbnb.
