January 2019 housing costs:

Natural Gas - $142.01
Electricity - $211.11 (forgot to call in my meter reading, They overestimated)
Water - $124.07

Other expenses:

Cell Phone - $39.62
Wifi - 61.00
Netflix - $10.99
Monthly Cleaning Service - $125.00 (top floor only)
Insurance - $102.02
Water Heater Rental - $9.71
Property Tax - $371.02
Mortgage P+I - $696.98

Total January '19 Housing Costs: $1,893.53

Rent collection from 3 housemates: $1,990.00

Month Profit: $96.47

Struggling to rent out the rooms this month. I'm just chalking it up to a very cold winter here in Regina; the view count on my room rental ads are low & there's quite a bit of supply on the market causing downward pressure on prices (some university students are desperate - I'm seeing some rooms offered for just $300/month! Hardly worth living with another human if you ask me). Still not in panic mode but obviously 3/5 rooms rented isn't sustainable. I'm now actively trying to rent out all 5 bedrooms (instead of just 4).
