Make money on a new home?

[Lisa R.]

Hi. After reading all the books, I have decided to purchase a new home-but with the intention of renting out two rooms, and still make a profit every month that I can save to reinvest later. I don't ever hear much about this, so I am assuming it may not be the way to go. I didn't go with an older fixer-upper because I do not have the funds to fix up a house. My question: my plan is to still slowly fix up my new house with better upgrades. Do you think in five or six years I will be able to sell the house for more than I paid because of the upgrades, and make a profit? If not, how long do you think it might take for the property value to go up if it is going to? Thank you, Lisa Southeastern Wa
