Thank you @Sam Grooms, @Rachel H., @Erich Hauck, @Marc Faulkner, and Account Closed for the excellent advice. 

@Brian Lacey @Sam Lin @Melissa GittensThanks for the advice @Russell Brazil .

I agree with Sam.  

@Krishna ChavaIn TX you need to be careful "helping" any tenant.Consider selling a free and clear house on a note and Mortg dot or existing first on a wrapThis is a thing as a SAM or shared appreciation mortgage, see a great contract attorney

I suggest you can hint you wish to give them back sooner no penalty clause please.In California it can be a plain addendum with the rest of contract.Good luck,Sam Shueh

Yes Sam, I get different opinions, from experienced RE attorneys.

Sam, that's fine....but the question is "is the husband on the Note" ?
