The next, more vigorous approach is incorporating SEO into your real estate marketing strategies. 

The on-boarding alone is another full time job.As Julie McCoy pointed out, the advantages (marketing, payments, time input, expertise, insurance, legal, website creation/maintenance, SEO, reach) currently far exceed the dependency disadvantages of OTRs.For all that value and time savings, I wouldn’t even bother too much circumventing their communication system to deal outside their box.

I started driving for dollars with deal finder app, have website/social media/seo in the works, and am looking into other motivated buyer lead sources for direct mail.  

Learn SEO and apply it.This you can do now.

I flip houses and I would love to know if you would be interested in selling your house to me.I would pay all cash so I don't need financing, and thus it will be effortless and fast.

SEO, Video/Audio editing, data scrubbing, to name a few.

Meanwhile effortlessly putting an end to 19 years of tobacco smoke. 

Other ways of finding motivated sellers are driving for dollars if you have the time or more costly things like building a webpage and doing Google AdWords, FaceBook Ads and SEO to generate traffic to your website.

@Preston Seo  When you buy a property with a tenant you have to honor any existing leases - so do whatever the lease says you will do.

You have a TON of people giving super confident advice on Wholesaling while they have NEVER wholesaled before.People giving advice on SEO when they have NO clue what seo realllly is.Asking about the legalities of wholesaling here, where 80% of the people here hate wholesalers and think they are the devil incarnate I can bet no matter what answer you gt it will be completely useless to you because ultimately you will have to verify what ever you get with an attorney.Sorry this may not be helpful, but this reply could have saved you a ton of legal issues.Find a lawyer .. and ask "it" (because we all know lawyers are not human)
