We definetly would face similiar issues with facebook regarding discrimination issues. 

I kind of gave up on Stessa, just do not have the time to deal with ongoing computer issues and constantly not being able to communicate with a company.

It sounds like you are not in compliance with those laws if you don't live nearby.

But there's no body of case law indicating that to be a concern.

How do you handle disputes or issues during the project?

You have a personal issue- car engine blows up, so you tell your tenant that they need to pay double the rent for one month so that you can get your car fixed?

If issue is overhanging limb, remove the overhanging limb.

There's a good chance the issue(s) you face has already been discussed and answered.Ask questions in the appropriate forum.

Like @Sarah Miller and @Marcy Albrecht said, you can buy places within the city limits but it's still about location. with that said, i'm always looking out for my end game. one of the issues with buying in certain parts of canton is that when you decide you're done, you may not be able to unload your properties.
