I think you can safely prioritize 1- figure out the job situation 2- is the roof actively leaking? Can you patch bits to get a few more years before going full out? 3- is the siding repairable even if it's kind of ugly in the meantime? For now, you just need it to keep water out. 4- are the kitchen appliances currently working? Great, give them a good going over to keep them chugging along until you have the money to replace. 5- keep an eye on the basement and make regular observations to start narrowing possible causes down. Make a logbook! 6- is the deck an active safety issue? If no, it's fine. If yes, tear it out yourself and just live with no deck for a while. Nothing has to be done perfectly and forever right now. Just shore things up so that you get some breathing room and have time to do research and plan. Try to do something that made you want to buy a house in the first place, even if it's on a much smaller scale than you dreamed of. Like if you wanted a great garden with raised boxes and mounds of produce but it's too expensive right now, just dig up a flat garden and put some cheap starts in right now. Do like squash or something that will be a lot of payoff for little effort. It will help you get some joy out of what is nothing but anxiety and stress right now.

It can get extremely Pinterest, but I am a fan of the bookcase back walls covered in contact paper- it can make an old beat up chipboard piece look clean and interesting for not much $. Bonus is that with books and stuff in front of it, most application errors are hidden!

Show us the herbs, Ball Tazeman! I have to live vicariously through house - havers, I'm stuck with a basil and a mint in pots in front of my apartment window.
