Not sure about the current monthly rate for live in maid with room and board. I am guessing it is probably $250 to $400?

The interview process would be great fun. I am told the question will usually be asked by the applicant, "are wifely duties expected"? To which the answer should be, "would that be a problem"?
I have been in this situation a few times, having traveled quite a bit. It's nice because I stay busy and don't have to worry about chores or searching for a girl. I've made a completely unscientific chart below, that is based on empirical evidence in this area. It is based on my own personal experience with a live-in "wife", as well as many conversations with others who have been in the same situation. I hope others will respond with comments. If they do, I'll make up another chart, adding in that data.
I realize there are a lot of variables here. I am just stating what I have observed.
The areas I've listed include the following on the tried and true 1-10 scale, or actual amounts:
Likelihood: 1 -- don't even think about it, 10 -- guaranteed
Attraction: 1 -- tough if you're ugly and have no charm, 10 -- she really doesn't care
Hotness: 1 -- Only the ugliest will do it, 10 -- the hottest ones will do it
Attitude: 1 -- she'll act like she hates you, 10 -- porn star, perfect wife, pro chef all in one
Presence: 1 -- always leaving, staying gone a long time, 10 -- permanently attached to you
Performance: 1 -- crap, 10 -- all-star
NOP: Number of people I know who have been in this situation, including me
$$$: Average amount you will have to pay per month
Sex: 1 -- no way, 10 -- she sexually attacks you constantly (also, any extra amount this will cost you)
