Talk to a lender but more so a lender that is willing to look at your situation and attempt to look for solutions. 

I recommend finding a solution to the issue before purchasing - or passing on it. 

I've avoided all that nonsense for 20+ years by acquiring excellent newer properties in the better middle and upper middle class neighborhoods and putting into place top shelf professional management that clearly understands that everyone's life is made much easier long term by screening for only the best tenants and treating them accordingly.A very simple solution, but one that takes a bit of discipline to actually follow.

Bank of America has something called the "Affordable Loan Solution" mortgage. 

The best solution is to add toilets to your inspection list.

Bigger Pockets has some great state forums and usually there are good locals that monitor those.

Either have him sell it to you or someone else outright or pursue another solution.
