The seller never brings funds to the table, unless it is to pay of pre-existing liens.I know this NEVER happens, but this looks like a law firm swinging for the fences and wanting to represent the "class".This is part of the 98% of lawyers that give the other 2% a bad name.

@Bob Prisco what was being communicated to me was that there are less protections for you in regards to title when you purchase a deal from a wholesaler without agent representation vs a broker and with an agent representing you.

Many are well represented by sellers & turnkey operators here on BiggerPockets (myself included) The most popular markets are Cleveland (my market)ToledoMemphisBirminghamKCIndyDetroitEach of these markets is popular with turnkey investors because of the low barrier to entry, high rental demand & high rent to price ratio.

The representative told me that leveraging an existing SDIRA property was not possible. 

I suggest you hire an attorney to represent you and for your own protection. 

I'm not sure how or why, or if this is specific to the note holder they represent(HSBC), but after the most minor legal tiff, where I was able to obtain a stay on the foreclosure sale, I called them and they informed me of this Short Pay program, which was previously not even a visible option on their web portal.

A home seller might be able to make a case that it is anti-competitive behavior for a group of licensed sales agents who control an overwhelming majority of the market to come together and agree that they are going to force a seller to agree to pay a commission not only to the agent representing the seller but also to the agent representing the buyer in order for the seller to be able to list his or her house on the MLS system that the agents control, which is also the system that sells the overwhelming majority of houses in the area. 

My feeling is one QB file or account is fine since it can be sorted by classes and the class sort would represent the properties which happen to be owned by different entities.

(U) "Exclusive right to sell or lease listing agreement" means an agency agreement between a seller and broker that meets the requirements of section 4735.55 of the Revised Code and does both of the following:(1) Grants the broker the exclusive right to represent the seller in the sale or lease of the seller's property;(2) Provides the broker will be compensated if the broker, the seller, or any other person or entity produces a purchaser or tenant in accordance with the terms specified in the listing agreement or if the property is sold or leased during the term of the listing agreement to anyone other than to specifically exempted persons or entities.
