All the repairs necessary to get it into livable condition if the repairs don’t drive the price up to over 96.5% of it’s value and sometimes it is 80% of it’s value. Check with the lender on this percentage

Yikes, as a self-employed borrower you are naturally higher risk. If you’ve been self-employed less than 3 years, odds are you’re not making a profit and reporting losses to the IRS. Another strike.
Any lender who would give you a loan is probably about to go out of business or is very shady. Your best bet is to pay cash and then take out a HELOC once you have enough history to show that you’re making a profit.
