With just these numbers to go on, if I felt the neighborhood is solid/trending up and not down and assuming your rent projection is realistic, I'd buy it. 

Not realistic for DC.

you're going to be INvesting for the first few years... rental income from the property isn't going to start paying back what you spend in closing costs, rent ready costs, stabilization costs, down payment, etc. for several years at a minimum.hope this helps - not trying to be negative, just realistic. 

We've since paid off the HELOC, but realistically it wouldn't be smart to rinse-repeat these days as the borrowing market is obviously MUCH different than it was in early 2022 when we started down this road to begin with.
