Should I Settle for an 8?

Alright so if a deal was rated on a 1-10, a 10 being the best, should I settle for an 8? Here is my struggle. My wife and I are in the market to buy our first home. Ideally we would love to house hack a duplex but prices in my market are super high. When something reasonable priced comes on the market it is gone in days. There are duplexes in “D” areas which are personally less desired areas. Is it worth it to buy a less appealing duplex that is in a not so desirable area? Or should I just buy a decent single family home and then sell it in two years and use the profit to buy a nicer duplex in the area I would really like to be in? Any recommendations are appreciated!
