Conventional financing with a roof leak?

[Samuel Rushing]

I am looking to purchase a fixer-upper to flip. It has a small roof leak that has been temporarily patched, but caused some drywall damage in the kitchen. I don't want to use hard money if I don't have to.

Will this home qualify for a conventional mortgage? Will  it be insurable? I was told I might have to put money for the repairs in escrow at closing, but I am hoping to do the repairs myself. 

Any advice would be appreciated :-)
