These factors help create a ceiling effect--where, no matter how much the house is worth, there's a limit on how much you can charge in rent.And, as you mentioned--if leverage is involved, the debt service of a more expensive property often overshadows how much you can charge in rent.These factors contribute to rent not increasing proportionately with the price of the house (and there are probably other factors too, that I'm just not thinking of at the moment...haven't had my coffee yet).Having said that, there are some extremely niche markets with rental properties that cater to multi millionaires, and which are extremely expensive (certain areas of LA, for instance...probably the French Riviera --where there are probably lots of transient tenants worth tens or hundreds of millions)...but, those types of markets are obviously the exception to the rule...Good luck out there!

When these thing change there will be a lag effect then things will get better.1.
