While contemplating what you'll do in 3-6 months, why not sock even a little cash away, even if it's $25 a week or extra made from a gig?
I say this because, you may find you don't want/need a roommate. Even though the house income has been reduced, so has house expenditures; now's the time to see what you can handle. Are you refinancing the house to lower payments?
Finding a roommate is like being a loan officer-you want to make sure you're not going to be left holding an expensive bag down the road. Amonkie's questionaire is good; I'd go a little further, asking income and references and one month in advance, etc.
