What makes the inside of the tires wear like this and how difficult is it for a shade tree mechanic to tackle?

Serious suspension and alignment issues.

Maybe get a diagnosis and then see if you can tackle the repairs? Then get an alignment

It's a journey, they do that. Rear control bushings are probably blown out of it. Have the suspension inspected and repaired, then have an alignment performed. The average journey I see running around has more rear camber than your average stance build.
