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.

David Jackson we have a mention feature to get the attention of someone to respond, simply use the "@" symbol and type the name a window below will appear and clik on thier name, they will be notified as you have been. :)Yes, you're betting on interest rates and I see more room to go up than down.
