I put up a flat ceiling with a smooth finish, and sunk 8 new lights in for better lighting.  

Happy tenants equal happy landlords of which you might be in no time flat.  

The lot is completely flat as is the surrounding area, and the yard in general is saturated (not uncommon at this time of year).My initial reaction is that I should fix the gutters and get them draining away from the foundation, let things dry out and then evaluate the situation further next rainy season.  

@Eric Jelen  It is definitely doable and anyone that tells you it isn't has flat out either never done it before. 

@Ericka Parrott, as an agent, what do you think is a reasonable flat fee for you to pull comps?

For this, I just mean that if your comps are 1/2 acre lots sitting on side streets with flat back yards, you want to ensure that your house isn't a 1/4 acre lot sitting on a main street with a sloped back yard. 

That is flat-out crazy talk.

Even much of western Europe is flat. 

They are also quoting a flat $500 fee for $1 million in liability.

Think, flat billed baseball caps, sentences always completed by using the word "Bro", lifted 4x4 pickups that NEVER leave the pavement, tattoos, Harley Davidson, and very, very low IQ's.
