It will help you come up with a price that works for him and your bottom line.Oh, and what he paid is irrelevant. 

I hope I'm not chasing the same drug infested house you were.I'll make lots of calls on Monday to try to get to the bottom of the notice of condemnation.

bottom line is just rent the place's do not give them any equitable ownership so when they want to leave they just leave instead of claiming an ownership interest.

I guess the bottom line is trying to figure out how to fix this guys dilemma as well as learn something in the process.  

It is likely that you will receive some credit back home for the taxes paid abroad, but many countries don't collect on international earnings, so the State taxes you pay come right out of your bottom line.  

Bottom line is will it give you positive cash flow even if minimal and how soon can the property be payed off so you can make lots of cash flow.
