I'd offer estimates to help ya'...but our situation is different in too many ways than yours. And it sounds like there's too many variables to give you even a close approximation.
Typically we won't spend more than $100/hr. (Cdn.) for fetish models (no sexual contact, though). You can likely count on at least doubling that for hardcore sex content. But it'll vary depending on the model you're workin' with.
Studio space - aside from our own 'in home' studios, we lease a 30,000 sq. ft. old factory for studio space mostly during the summer months at a cost of $450/mnth. But that's a helluva deal mostly because the place is very old, decrepit and has no utilities except hydro. As for a 'conventional' studio space, you'd likely pay considerably more even for a much smaller area (perhaps 2,000-3,000 sq. ft.).
We've never hired a secondary photographer (I do my own shooting), so I have no clue what rate you'd pay one. It'll depend largely on their skill and experience, of course. I wouldn't pay more than $30/hr. for a moderately skilled lensman, though.
I always consider post production to be one of my costliest factors - since I spend an enormous amount of time manually editing every shot. A 4-5 hour photoshoot (300-400 frames) can take me up to 2-3 full days of post-edit time.
