Yes but the fair market housing price is used for taxes and shit. I’m no tax expert so take this with a big grain of salt but I believe if you charge below you get hot with ridiculously high taxes and at that point it might not be profitable enough to keep building. Setting your price at the fair market price gives you the best tax benifits

Being at or under fair market lets you join some government programs that help renters pay their rent and can help you get low interest loans to deal with things like lead removal and energy efficiency. There are some tax benefits if you're in some poorer areas, but reductions from that are overtaken by repair costs.

Charging more simply means you can't be part of those programs. There isn't an extra tax for charging more other than the normal tax brackets.
