Is my price for the rent too optimistic? Renting the entire house would be less (say $2000-2400). But, I feel the size of the rooms justify the rent along with the W/D in the basement and the house is in a good location (Alexandria C+/B- area). 

I would be living in the house first with 2 roommates and then fully renting out the 3 bedrooms later. The rent does not include the basement that also has a half bath (maybe I could live in the basement and rent out all 3 bedrooms).
