Don't forget to make keywords up so you know when someone is talking about your areas of interest.When you want to tag someone in a post use the @ symbol and start to write their name.

FYI, if you type the "@" symbol then begin typing the poster's name that you want to mention (@Joel Comino, for instance), Bigger pockets will pull up the person in the thread you want to reply to and you can click on their name so BP will notify them that you mentioned them.

Surprisingly, she does not consult me about eye surgeryWhen you hit the jackpot those vows can quickly change!

The 2% Rule is the same thing as using the 50% Rule and applying a 12% Cap Rate on the annual NOI.I was looking at some properties and noticed I got the same value using the 2% rule and using the 50% for an estimate of NOI and happened to be using a 12% Cap.Being a math dork I did write it out symbolically and they both reduce to the same mathematical equation (Which BTW is just multiply the monthly rent by 50).

Sometimes you can hit the jackpot by targeting neighborhoods that have the potential for gentrification.

I'm moving away from equity partnerships towards Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance since I do have some money to start.Your present day information seems to be the jackpot, I understand about 50% but seems enough for now, I';m not sure about the line of credit, is that with a bank, with credit cards, with private investors?"

Generally if you use the @ symbol and start typing a name of someone who has already chimed in on the conversation or that you are colleagues with their name will pop up.

@Laurence Obi, to tag someone in the forums, they either have to be colleagues with you, or have already posted in that forum.If they are colleagues, type the @ symbol plus their name to bring them into the conversation.If they have already posted in the forums, type @?
