First time investor- feeling stuck

[Kimberly Gomez]

Hello!

As a first time investor/home-buyer I have been searching for about 5-6 months. I am looking to house hack a duplex pretty much anywhere in Los Angeles and have been pre-approved for $675k. I have seen the market slow down. However some new challenges are that most properties I'm finding are tenant occupied or need rehabs that are more than I can budget for.  My agent has now started sending me SFHs as an alternative option. My worry with that is not finding tenants to occupy those rooms. I'm not sure what to do here and am feeling very discouraged. 

Thank you all for any advise/tips.
