Alright, guys, so let me tell you about this little project I took on at 6262 Virgo Road in Oakland. I’d heard a bit about this place, saw it was up for sale, and it seemed like it had potential, so I decided to dig in.
First thing I did was try to get a feel for the property. The listing said it had 3 bedrooms, which is a decent size, and the price was $1,295,000. Seemed a bit steep, but hey, it’s Oakland, right? So I started poking around online, trying to find more details.
I found this listing on some real estate site that gave the MLS number as EB41061909, said the place had 3 bathrooms, and was 2,696 square feet. That’s a pretty good amount of space. I even found a video tour of the house. It looked nice enough from what I could see. Nothing too fancy, but definitely livable.
Then I tried one of those address lookup sites. You know, the kind where you punch in an address and it spits out all sorts of info. I figured I’d see what I could find on the property history, owners, that sort of thing. Well, it gave me some basic info, like past sales and property taxes, but nothing too juicy. One of these sites named Spokeo, it got name, phone, email and some pics but I haven’t use it. It’s easy to use and more data, but need to pay for it.
I kept digging around, looking at different websites, trying to piece together a picture of this place. I saw some mentions of current property taxes and foreclosures, but it was all pretty standard stuff. Nothing that really jumped out at me.
So, after all this digging, what did I actually learn about 6262 Virgo Road? Honestly, not a whole lot. I mean, I got a basic sense of the property, the size, the price, and some of the history, but nothing that really gave me a clear picture of what this place was all about.
Here’s a quick rundown of what I found:
- Address: 6262 Virgo Road, Oakland
- Price: $1,295,000
- Size: 2,696 sq ft
- Bedrooms: 3
- Bathrooms: 3
- MLS #: EB41061909
In the end, I’d say my little investigation was a bit of a mixed bag. I didn’t uncover any big secrets, but I did get a better sense of the property. Maybe it’s worth checking out in person, maybe not. It’s hard to say. But hey, that’s the fun of these little explorations, right? You never quite know what you’re going to find.
