Just use a lot of mud and taper it as best I can? 

We've bought water, flood, fire, ice, mud, and mold damaged houses, none of them were much fun.  

The post is to help newbies not step in the mud, which gets them no responses.I also find it hilarious that you are intimating that I am not gracious.

The town owns the lake, so they get a little more leeway there and people who own $4 million homes don't want to see mud flats, so the lake stays full most of the time. 

This individual is a company applicant even though the individual did not actually file the document with the secretary of state or similar office.Clear as mud! 

We have a lot of court cases to analyze, and unfortunately they are clear as mud.

They are cheap because they are undesirable and will attract crappy tenants.

But county came back removing the exemption (65y+ homestead) since the death few years back and now are charging all the previous 4-5 year taxes resulting in $10-12K (County, ISD, Mud taxes etc).

It is also why virtually every economist states rent is undesired; economist understand the impacts of rent control.  

@Calvin Graves So I disagree with the concept that the lease covers all bad/undesirable behavior that would cause a "normal" landlord to non-renew.
