Can I tent a house to kill termite and not fix the repairs?

[Dan Marl]

Hello everyone.

I just bought a house and plan to do minor repairs before I will rent it out. The problem is that there are termite damages around the house (the fascia, soffit).

I don't have the money now to fix the wood but I plan to tent the house to kill all the termites. Is that a good idea? Tent the house not and fix the damage later? Or do I have to fix the damage and tent the house immediately? The house is in Southern California.
