Which option is better

Los Angeles market for house hacking.
Is it generally better to buy a duplex for house hacking in a better area, for example, Silver Lake, but pay a bigger down payment(20%-25%) for a move in ready home or buy a fixer upper duplex in West Adams and pay minimum downpayment 3.5-5% and spend the rest on renovation to gain forced appreciation.
