<prompt> Human: Im about to purchase a 4br house and am trying to decide what to charge my roommates. These are my good friends3 of them and Im not trying to make money off them but I want to make sure I also cover myself for expenses and potential expenses. The mortgage is 1450. I do not know yet what utilities and other expenses will be. Id rather charge them a fixed price and include utilities and not have to deal with splitting those up every month. Does anybody have any recommendation on what to charge rent when I first move in? Or any good idea on how to figure out the best price for rent after like month 1 or 2? Thanks!!  <response>: Go on craigslist and see what other houses in your area are charging per room. If you want to give your friends a break, take 100 off the average price in your area or something.
