Rent recommendation from an appriasal

[Shaun R.]

I just got the appraisal report on the first rental property I'm buying and there is a recommendation for the rent that the house should get.  They showed three rental comps and based on those they recommend that I rent for $1500.  I was planning on listing it at $1400, but now I'm wondering if they know something I don't.  How much faith can you put into the appraiser's recommendation for rent?
