We also own a photography studio/vintage furniture rental business.

In most cases, especially lower income areas, the presence of hardwood would likely go unappreciated and it may make more sense to preserve that wonderful vintage material and actually cover it with another type of flooring (I've been using Trafficmaster Allure in my units, which I'm obsessed with) until it comes time you decide to sell the property and then expose the old wood, refinish, and use it as a marketing point to the next possible owner( think about how "rare" and "desirable" that same flooring might be after another 20-30 years if preserved). 

Does anyone have any tips about who in the Philly region will buy:Old appliancesVintage furnitureVintage toolsVintage decorative itemsVintage TV, etc Best would be a company that comes in and gives a price to take eve...

My main interest in this forum as I slowly transition from cubicle dweller to independent investor is to build up my network and contacts and perhaps eventually find the next opportunity.Other than RE I'm a computer nerd for my day job, other interests include building electric vehicles, electric vehicle advocacy, bicycling, outdoorsy stuff, and vintage land rovers.  

There are always other factors at play like neighborhood, vintage, market preferences and other factors.

I would never buy a house from the vintage with these clay lines around here without doing a sewer scope during my inspection period.

If sexism is a problem in the industry (and it is) then it SHOULD be discussed  You seem to have forgotten to stay in your lane.PS the sweaters are "vintage"; I think I'll keep them.

If there are old vintage mouldings, or some kind of long term proof.   

So in reality, there's no easy way to judge if prices are too expensive today or not.In my opinion the only way around this is to invest in "vintages".
