Deferring STR cash flow for the future?

A lot of talk here regarding cash flow. If our bigger goal is to “retire” early and quit our W2 jobs would it make more sense to invest 100% of cash flow back into the principal to quicker achieve full ownership of properties? Or what about making the cash flow work for you in better ways? Thoughts?

Or increase your holdings by leveraging existing properties to buy more properties thus increasing cashflow.

A paid off property is nice, but if you want to quite the W2's, then more properties cash flowing allow that to happen faster.

You could come up with a graduated plan. Put more monthly on the first home while buying others, pay it off, then the 2nd etc all the while increasing the number of properties.
