Couple that with the freezing temperatures and if you went to court the chips could fall either way, talk to the property manager, they know the law.

New chip factories started. 

Was it chipping in the windowsills and they tested a chip?

Sounds like you ha e this under control - just wanted to chip in that I would wait the 6 months til summer to sign a one year lease (and maybe raise rent) so I don’t have a turnover in January.

So a few Army buddies and I each chipped in 10k each to buy rental properties under an LLC.

I am trying to see what may be turning them off, I think the molding around the couple bedrooms is all chipped and may need to be repainted and fixed (if section 8 were to come in they probably would require it) I also know one of the light fixtures looks older on a bedroom maybe replace that?

as home inspector, of course i would recommend to have one done. a second set of eyes will almost always find something you over looked and you then have professional proof of what needs to be done. not only could this be used as a bargaining chip but you now has a complete, professional list of what needs to be done. of course, along the way, you will pick up on things the inspector does and will become better at finding things on your own, but especially with your first few flips, it is necessary. for any one here on BP that is in the western new york area, please see my profile and call me if you have need of a home inspector

The one thing they will likely point out during inspection is chipped paint.

They don't like chipped paint.

I agree with Lucia, Some additional cons for laminate or tile in a rental.Cons of laminate - shows scuffs and scratches (needs regular cleaning), can mound at seams (don't know cause), not easily repaired.Cons of Tile - cold (especially for slab foundation), slippery when wet, chips (there is enamel paint to match), If you choose tile for a rental it should be a must you buy a couple of extra boxes of tiles.
