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.

Moreover, landlords would be able to evict tenants only under certain circumstances, such as failure to pay rent or violating lease terms, and a nine-person board would be created to deal with rent disputes.One of the three proponents of the measure, Omēga Brewer of SEIU Local 2015, said pursuing rent control aligns with working on behalf of her union’s membership.

You and your partner own membership interest in the entity that owns the property. 

You get to network with other real estate investors and there are some nice perks to getting a membership as well. 

Hi, I just upgraded to PRO membership last night.
