You can use petscreening.com to handle this task for you and ensure you are compliant, but I still recommend you really understand the law so you can answer questions or assist with requests. 

If you do not have experience with this, I would highly recommend getting advice/assistance from someone that you trust in the business.   

. - Capital partner that can assist with cash as needed. - potential equity in primary residence Asks/Needs to achieve goals. - In need of assistance formulating a concrete plan to achieve goals.- Assistance putting the knowledge and resources together to close next deal. - Looking to attend real estate meetups and expand network. - Locating and putting together the right  team that’s needed.-  Joining communities and connecting with others on a similar path. 

Readers should seek professional advice.

NOTE:  there may be some tax on interest or principal on the payments--seek professional advice.Also, stress there will be no inspections or other contingencies--sell the 'peace of mind' side of the equation.You have known each other for 12 years and you established you are a great payer.

A few updates that didn't fit into the above post:The attorney who handled our closing offered to assist the sellers pro-bono in an effort to recover some of the equity.
