However, the property I'm looking at is larger than other houses, and to make it a viable investment, I'd need to rent it out for about $2,600 per month.My concern is that anyone renting this property could instead take out a mortgage on the same house, with monthly payments exceeding $2,000.

Hi Jason,Congrats on the choice!
