Banks and CU have something called "High Cost" rules which means a mortgage under $75K generally is not large enough to include or finance their hard costs plus fee's.Some DSCR lenders offer a $75K minimum after down payment but rates are usually above 9.75% even with good credit and carry a 2-3 year prepayment penalty.
