My mortgage is close to 1600 a month. Plus HOA fees on top of that.

I dont think rent being at that price range is always greedy landlords.

What's your interest rate? That plays a huge factor in what your monthly payments are.

I think you're right. The problem is that salaries are not keeping up. It's been a chronic problem.

Look at what it would cost to rent a similar house in your area in terms of sq footage and location. Note a house not an apartment I shouldn't be surprised if its closer to $3500

I have the same mortgage and a property manager I talked to said my house would rent for $2300. Major American city.

Actually there's an influx of similar properties around here that are just asking for 1600ish per month.
