    Looks like a good deal The rent seems high for a property that value. Don't forget to add vacancy (about 5% of the rent) cap ex(5%) and repairs (5%) into your calculations.

    It looks like a good deal as it stand, but do you need to update anything in the house, any renovations???

    I would not rely on zillow for the value.

    I live in 21207 and rent for detached 3 bedroom are closer to $1400-1500 threshold because most of the homes in this area are cape code with some split levels from the 80-90 era

    Agreed with Krystle on being prepared to accept a lower rent especially if you want to get a tenant in there in a timely fashion. That being said it seems like the best 3 bedroom houses in the area are pulling in 1600 so if that's what you've got then awesome. Do you plan to use a property manager?

    Thank you for all your inputs.

    I have decided to explore different Cash Flow Strategy .

    I am researching right now Rental Arbitrage .

    Do you have experience in doing this in the DMV Area?

    Thank you in advance.

    @Moises Perez in your first post You have grossly underestimated expenses. 

    I had to look up what rent arbitrage is. It is simply a form of sub leasing. You are not going to get away with that in most rentals. Most rental contract specifically do not allow sub leases. 

    Given the regulatory pressure Airbnb is under it seems like a risky proposition.
