I too would get an extension on the escrow and my contingencies and hold off on inspection until you have green light.If the seller is getting sued and it is moving forward there is a good chance of him filing BK.If the property is directly involved that suing party may file a lis pendens and could tie you up.What are your damages if seller can not perform, you can file a lis pendens and ties it up on your end.Get title info if you can and seek counsel of attorney or be ready too.Can you close before all this pans out, maybe and if title is clear and you cover your bases might be something to consider.Or might be advisable to let it go and save yourself the headache but that is dependent on the deal itselfKeep us posted

I have listen to tons of BP podcast and I am currently listening to Long-Distance Real Estate Investing by David Greene.

If you really want to be nice or feeling green, you can build the solar panel on your own dime. 

Totally green here.Thanks,

If not David Greene's Long Distance Investing book and his features on the BP podcast are great starting points if you haven't invested outside of your local market before.  

I use this as a positive in my green policy.
