hello my name George and I'm eager to learn real estate investing either being flippes or rentals.

George P. - talk to small local banks, sometimes the commercial lending department.

I know I shouldn't base everything off of having tenants in the home, but I've been in the home for a year and that entire year we had roommates.Great thing about this area and only being 10 mins from DC, lots of people would rather rent out a room while they are attending a school here (George Mason, Georgetown etc) or while they are working than rent an apartment that will cost them 1200 on average.Anyhow, I had to pause and do a few other things in between this message, so I will respond with more later.

Any relation to astrophysicist, cosmologist and Nobel Prize winner George ..?  

George Fitz (Above) is on the right track, but you really need to get the actual P & L and dig into the expenses.  

Thanks George!
