So it has been a long time. I sold my old place last year & moved into my new house in April 2015 (a 1,700 square foot bungalow). I decided to revive this thread to track my spending. Clearly there's A LOT of improvement needed to get this place making a profit like my old condo.
April 2015 housing costs:
Natural Gas - $134.21
Electricity - $116.95
Water - $95.25
Other expenses:
Telephone - $39.97
Insurance - $143.43
Water Heater Rental - $9.63
Property Tax - $310.17
Mortgage P+I - $1,083.08
Total April '15 Housing Costs:
$1,932.69
Rent collection from housemates:
$1,200.00
Monthly Deficit:
$732.69

I plan on developing my basement with 2 more bedrooms, so I anticipate getting another $1,200/month rental income once I get that up and running. My house also had Halogen lighting everywhere & I've recently switched to LED everywhere. And that fridge! Such an energy suck (1,300 KwH/year!).
