The lower level is called Foundations where you just go through his training (to become a sophisticated investor and invest with the people doing the deals) and get to attend his networking events (in order to build relationships with these people), but you don't get to work with Brad directly. 

I used Roofstock to sell one of my rental properties in TX as their sales commission is lower than going through traditional sales channels. 

You could also get a line of credit for about $150k (you should be able to borrow 75% of the value.)The reason I suggest this is…1) you save $40-$60k in selling costs. 2) you have a lower blended interest rate (2/3rds at 3.25% and 1/3rd at 7 or 8% instead of the whole $500k at 7 or 8%) saving you another $1k/mo in interest. 3) you only pay interest on that $150k when you actually use it, not from day 1  Unless you hate this property, or want to buy something you can’t afford without selling, that would be my plan.
