@Alan HowardHeavily depends on the facts, circumstances, and goals of the members.Too broad to answer as a general question.Generally rental real estate shouldn't be held inside of a corporate tax entity. 

Unless the surface is a factory finish or a baked on metal type finish.

Owner held the note.

I work as a welder metal fabricator 9-5 and my wife is a sales associate.

Despite all these negatives, they held on and made some really good money and are now selling them for nice profits. 

@Kenneth GarrettI always wondered how rents held up during the last crash.

Many of these homes are held by the city because they can't even sell them at the tax auction.

If all you have is a masonry facade over a fireplace unit, which is what it sounds like if you have a metal flue, like for a gas water heater or furnace, it should be an easier removal.

Plaster, in my neck of the woods and target properties, is always plaster-on-lathe, usually wood, very occasionally metal.

If they don't have any money invested, it's too easy for them to change their mind and walk away and then you held it all that time for nothing.You should at least collect the first months rent.
