Yes, the firm gets a cut on both sides, but REO splits (I'm assuming your area is like others in the country) aren't great, and the selling agent "supplement" can make all the difference.

Discriminating based on whether or not someone has a credit card would be legal as they aren't a protected class.

Nabers is better if you need ongoing support and Sunwest Trust is better if you want to do everything on your own at your own risk for minimal cost.So fees vary a lot based on what the investor intends to do with the self-directed retirement plan.
