I would say definitely do a lease-option, not a wrap mortgage since that lets you keep better control. Chances are (I’d say) pretty good that they won’t find it easy to qualify for a loan in 2 years unless they’ve got their act together credit wise since their bankruptcy.
Where are they living now? Where did they live before? Contact those people and determine how well their rent was paid. If they paid on time, and no hassles, I’d give 'em a green light. If they didn’t …
Also some mortgage companies give out a booklet about responsible home ownership that’s been shown to cause a statistically significant reduction in default/foreclosure in those people who read the pamphlet. See if you can pick up anything like that to help prepare them for that kind of financial decision.

How long ago was the bk discharge? What kind of bad credit to they still have? Is this bad credit they incured since they filed the BK?
Another thing you should do is take their credit report to a mortgage broker to see what all they will need to do over the next 2 years to get refinanced. If they have no hope of getting financed in 2 years then don’t except them unless you own the property and plan on carrying them longer than 2 years.
If they have shown that they haven’t learned their lesson since filing the bk then chances are you will be chasing them every month to collect the rent also.
