Building inspectors love quoting "A structural engineer" for anything and everything.Even a dime size hole in the siding.They kill a lot of deals with their terminologyJust my opinion.Thanks 

Generally easy to fix.If you're thinking about changing to completely different window coverings, you will need to take down the head rail and patch the holes in the wall and perhaps repaint.

The NFL analogy - the hole closes!

@Kenneth HynesI see no holes so I say keep.

just put empty calories / more crap through your body holes, and literally into the toilet.

I remove the window completely and use tub surround to cover the hole.

MOST COMPS NOW ARE COMING IN AT 180 WHICH WILL PUT ME IN THE HOLE ABOUT 30K.

I took extensive video and pictures when i moved as the house was not, to most people in move in condition, obviously cleaned but very cheap and very old carpet, large areas of rooms that weren't entirely painted weird hardware sticking out of walls, screw holes or remaining screws and nails, several patched but not painted areas, tons of areas with drawing, water, oil marks on the walls (from a centimeter to 1 foot) etc etc! 

Thank you Molly Im from Nampa so I’ll definitely check it it out I’m doing this hole learning process on my own so any education or extra help would be amazing I will definitely contact you!

In general, from a business standpoint, the townhomes would be easier probably, but if you just have a passion for the idea of keeping the streetfront activated with a couple of shops, and it makes you happy without putting you in the hole, then do it.
