BRRRR or House Hack?

In today's markets as a new RE Investor just out of college, would it be wiser to start out with a house hack, or rent an apartment and pursue a BRRRR opportunity? I've heard good things about both, but want to know which option might be better for a young investor with limited cash.

If I was faced with this scenario this would be my thinking. I would look into house hacking. Seeing if I could get my living expenses to 0 or even make a little extra money each month. This way I could save my normal living expenses for the next down payment, or look into a BRRRR for the next property.
