For those who’ve sold notes, what documents or details made the process smoother—or caused delays?

I am nervous that since I wasn't the one that did the background checks (current owner did prior to going to market), I have no idea if the tenants are actually qualified or if they will be paying rent every month/or cause me issues since they all just moved in within the last few weeks.
