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.

Welcome to BP @Kevin Norton .To respond to someone, use the @ symbol at start typing their name.

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).

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 @?

I think there is nothing more symbolic than a keychain.

The real estate commissions care about license laws and harming the general public.In commercial real estate the REALTOR symbol really doesn't carry much weight.

Type the @ symbol, but the list of names don't show up like i read somewhere that it would. 

Is the $25 more symbolic than actual to you?

To use the @ do the symbol and the first few letters of the persons name and their name will show up at the bottom of your message body and u click on that and it will put the rest of the name in blue in your message.
