Are you trying to protect yourself and your original objectives or trying to make more money?

@Jacob DanielsAs others have said, you should have credit standards and those should have objectively determined your answer already.Setting that aside, I see 3 strikes in the limited info provided: (1) the BKs, (2) a sub-600 score, and (3) no rental history.

Just need to find a deal that works for you and your objectives.

I'm at a loss- so far- as why I would help them in any way serve me papers for a court appearance, in objection to my accounting of the repairs. 

Third, you never know what the inside of the property looks like and it's usually in rough shape.Everybody is running after various other shiny objects right now. https://www.entrepreneur.com/l... 

The lender will probably not object, since it will assume the seller has implemented an estate planning device.

There may be someone else that has different goals and objectives who will be happy to pay their price. 

I have a Seller willing to do a Subject To sale, but only one objection remains.It is a VA loan.

Unfortunately, this happens in the Smokies...To all the investors out there- Use Air DNA, drill down to the property level to find comps, make sure you're tethering yourself to data (multiple objective sources!)

Learn your path to see if it hits your objectives.
