What kind of rent do you charge on a $400K house?

Where I'm from it's generally around $3,000-$3,500/mo.

Where the heck are you from?

You could borrow the full $400k and owe significantly less than $3k a month in PITI, assuming 1% property tax. That doesn't add up.

There isn't one answer to this question. In any rental, you charge as much as the market will bear. The price of a house has almost nothing to do with the rent. Also, different investors might have different goals, which could effect rents as well.
