My realtor is also having a sit down with a prospective tenant to address some concerns I heard when I called their previous landlord, mainly no smoking and holes in the walls.

So chasing money is an endless black hole.

Ill be looking into it further and i may have found a few holes in their armor but likely a bigger issue im able to take on at the moment.

Tax deductible improvements such as drainage tile, terracing, irrigation can significantly improve the productivity and the value of the land.

I'd start here before going down the rabbit hole...

I can't help but wonder if this was a hole in the plan, or perhaps that client had not followed instructions or something.I know that people are more likely to write bad reviews than good, so usually I'd take it with a grain of salt but it got me worried.

You hear the stories of cement in the toilets and holes in every wall simply because those are the outliers.  

If removing the bars, get shutters length of rectangular portion of windows that match door, should cover any holes in the brick left from removal. 

Most of the time it's a scenario where they take a photo (And mark it with a red box in the actual report) of a quarter sized hole on the siding of the house and make a request like "Structural engineer needed for further inspection" lol.

A great property can turn into a money hole with a bad manager.There are plenty of articles written about states to avoid.
