Also, instead of a full lawsuit to force her to sell, can I simply place a lien on her house to simply recover for my costs with the appraisal & attorney feesThxIf the cost of removal of violations required to be removed by the Seller pursuant to the printed provisions of this Contract of Sale shall be in excess of five hundred ($500􀀉 00) doll􀀄􀀅s, the Seller is hereby granted the option to withdraw from this Contract of Sale, in which event the Seller shall refund to the Purchaser the monies paid on execution hereof, together with the net cost of exa􀀊ination of title and any survey actually incurred by the Purchaser, not exceeding rates usually charged by any major title company where no policy is issued and where title shall fail to close; whereupon this Contract of Sale shall become null and void without any further liability on either par􀀁y to the other unless the Purchaser shall agree to take title subject to said violations and assume the performance thereof and receive an abatement in reduction of the purchase price in the sum of five hundred ($500􀀂00) dollars􀀂 The options herein granted shall be exercised by notice in 􀀋riting by certified mail, return receipt requested􀀃

If still a few years, I would suggest you buy something in the outskirts of Bloomington [near campus is too expensive for the most part] - even though I have seen some REO 4 unit properties near the stadium that would be great to house hack.Otherwise, look for HUD and other REO homes around the edge of town or even Elletsville.If you commute from Columbus, then pick up a low cost REO there and go through the process - you will learn tons.Also, Brad Grayson is a speaker/trainer and successful landlord [over 200 SFH] from Columbus as well - I would suggest you seek him out and go to an event that he is speaking at.At 19, I would start ASAP.  

In the event of the UK leaving the EU, possible scenarios include:The UK remains in the single market therefore Britons maintain their rights to live and work in the EU, similar to citizens from Switzerland, Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein.The UK stays outside the single market but the UK negotiates terms with individual EU countries, such as Spain, resulting in legislation giving Britons similar rights to those they currently have as EU citizens.The UK stays outside the single market meaning Britons acquire similar rights to non-European nationals buying or moving there, such as Australians or Americans.So, in the event of Brexit, we’d essentially be treated like any other non-EU, non-European Economic Area (EEA) citizens, Americans and Australians, for example.

Good luck and hope to meet you at a networking event some time!
