Real Estate Agent with Cascades Sotheby's International Realty

I left off with the question regarding whether a home will pay for itself.  Below is an estimate on carrying costs (excluding piti). 

What do you think my monthly expenses would be for this house?

SROA Dues

$ 51.00

$ 40.00

Sunriver Telecom - Phone

$ 27.00

Trash

$ 20.00

Hot Tub Service

$ 80.00

TOTAL

$  218.00

 

 *May be more if you have satellite/wireless internet, and less if you don't have a hot tub. 

The remainder will be variable and will depend on the size of the home and usage: 

Water

$ 25.00

Power

$ 60.00

Gas
