$8,000 in Tysons Corner, Virginia:
This five-bedroom home actually starts to look like a deal if you figure a couple people per room. What's the catch?
Near Tysons Corner (Barns of Wolftrap) just off Dulles Toll road making DC a 25 minute drive. ... 15 minutes to West Falls Church metro. 25 Minutes to Dulles or Reagan National Airports.
You mean on days that there aren't a couple million extra people milling around DC?

$5,000 in Tenleytown-AU, DC:

$45,000 in Rockville, Maryland:
Amazingly, this one isn't just a rip off because the week-long rental costs about what the average American household makes in a year. Nope, here's what had us worried:

We won't be dropping off a Halliburton full of non-sequential bills soon!
