@Brian Halstead  I have been using Bob Peppe @ Pelican Insurance for more than 6 years,   he is the best on the area, good price, excellent service, great guy,  investor oriented 

I was just on resimpli website.  

I'm looking to make some money on a per hour basis, or contract work, and I want to know if there are any VA websites I should look into signing up for.

My two large losses this year happened because of bad, fluffed CMA's that we went by because we bought before we had access to comps ourselves and had a general knowledge of the neighborhoods. 

If you're looking in that particular market be prepared to compete again the large REIT's who buy cash.

Most of these are large apartment buildings, but some of them are mixed use buildings with some small retail/office space available (think 1000 square feet or less). 

You may be able to find this online (state/local government websites would be only credible source I'd trust; although, your licensed agent may be able to help.)  

Thanks, @Jared Bouzek.Hi @Scott Hibbert,Oakland is an incredibly large city by land area, and highly neighborhood dependent.
