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.

Accountants, Insurance agents, financial planners, stock brokers, tax people, Trust administrators, loan officers at banks (banks won't buy a seller financed note) bankruptcy attorneys, any government office that administers public benefit programs: Division of family services, welfare office, medicare, don't think that a note holder is always wealthy, they inherit a note and can't live off a $300 payment, the note is an asset and disqualifies  people from receiving benefits.When I said "they called me" it wasn't just note holders, many times it was the people trying to work with the note holder, they had a problem to solve to assist their client.I was the only Note Appraiser in the state, I believe, the state sent me notes to appraise!
Dan Fenu 5 reasons property in the EU is still a good buy for Britons
17 May 2017 | 2 replies
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.
