Hello! Welcome to BP. I'm new too, also in the Temecula area. I'm just starting to try my hand at wholesaling and have no idea what I'm doing, but I know of some local realtors and investors that are looking to network. I can contact them for you, if you're interested. 

Does anyone have an idea for him? Because I would like to know as well.

Hello and welcome! I'm from Temecula too; it's great to see more of us on here. I can't help with Real Estate but if you have questions about BiggerPockets I probably can.

Hello and welcome to Bigger Pockets! 

Hello everyone,

I attended the webinar but due to the time constraints I wasn't able to have most of my questions answered. So since I'm so new to this some of these questions will probably be pretty basic. I'm reading the Beginner's Guide book but so far these particular questions haven't been answered (I'm focusing on the How to do Investing with No Money and No Credit section). If the guide book does answer one (or more) of them, please ignore it if it's irritating to have to answer again. 

1. What does MLS stand for?

2. What is an MLS number?

3. How do I find out a home's annual property taxes? Is that on the City's website or some branch of the local government's?

4. What is PMI?

5. Where can I find the hard numbers for the fluctuations in real estate value for my area?

6. The speaker said "When you make a deal, you don't necessarily need to give Earnest Money." What is "Earnest Money"?

7. What is an Inspection Contingency?

If someone out there can answer one of these I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

Thank you everyone for your support! I've already begun listening to the podcasts and I've downloaded the Beginner's Guide so hopefully I'll learn enough to get started soon. Also, @Kenneth Riley; thank you for the invite, I'll be sure to attend.

Hello everyone!

My name is Gabriella Pleasant, I have no real estate background, and I'm a full-time college student. I'm going to be transferring to northern California in a year so I was hoping to begin working right away in order to supplement my living expenses while I move onto a university. My tuition will be taken care of, but that leaves me with nothing left over for living expenses, so I'm hoping to have continual income from a place I'm familiar with (in this case the city I grew up in) while being otherwise able to focus on my studies. My mom began playing the BiggerPockets podcast while we were cleaning and i was amazed that so much advice was being given away for free, so I had to sign up!
