It does not matter what the membership structure of the LLC is. 

Went with the pro membership in large part to access the calculators and webinar archives.

You'll also have various memberships/dues/fees to join local/national associations, mls, get your ekey for lockboxes and there's mandatory orientation at ORRA (orlando regional realtor assoc) before you can get started. 

I really wish that this might at some point in time become an option added to the Plus membership.

Well, the major difference is that in a pyramid scheme there is no product, or the product is really just a front for attracting membership, which is the real pay off.

Grab yourself a pro membership, fill out your profile & get a picture up.

Connecting with members who have a pro membership have a higher tendency so be more serious and provide you a good recommendation.3.

I also recommend Rock Star Real Estate as an alternative to REIN if you're in the GTA...they have a membership group, but also lots of free events for networking.

My MLS does a bunch for free.Any other certifications you get may have an annual membership cost.Marketing material, signs & lockboxes get pricey. 

I used them for the Toyota and saved thousands of dollars over dealer prices and the car was driven to work so the experience was amazing.Both of those memberships are about $40 but well worth it.
