For you to join their mentoring program, you'll have to pay them a once-off fee of $500. You might ask, if it's only going to cost that much, then that might be a really good deal. Yes I think so too but they way they really make their money is by finding the investment properties (mostly off-the-plan ones) for you and they get the commission from the developers as they have a real estate agent's license as well.

I think it's different from how Metropole conducts their business because they are the ones charging you the fee as they are acting as the buyer's agent and at the same time helping you find good investments as well.

I like Solid because I don't have to pay anything apart from the $500 mentoring program fee as they get their commissions from the seller/developer but isn't there a bit of a conflict of interest if they are also "sort of" acting on the seller's behalf.
