seeking advice for possible subto deal

I am currently working on trying to wholesale my first deal. I am shoppping the property to potential buyers. If this falls through, I am thinking of just taking over the mortgage myself in a subto deal. The issue is the property needs a good bit of work and I dont have the capital to do the repairs, like a roof replacement. Would it be smart to take over the property,do all the minor repairs myself to make it liveable for a tenant and get the ball rolling on rent and save up capex to do bigger repairs later? 

Thanks in advance!

If I'm not mistaken you can do a DSCR loan which would fund the purchase and rehab. I plan to do this after my BRRR is completed at the end of this month.
