However, evaluating your sentiment (and your wife's) on that will be important. 

I try to evaluate a unique property 2-3 different ways, then make a highly educated guess based on my knowledge of the market.

Quote from @Nate Sanow: Yes I own two that are near 100 years old and I will tell you they are a pain in the you know what compared to all of my post WW2 properties especially post 1980… layouts are better in the last 50 years and energy efficiency is better and I can keep going… HOWEVER to reply to the other aspect of your question, I’ve found appreciation is better with older properties in areas of the path of progress.

I'll send my address for my bonus/commission checks lol....look forward to hearing the progress!
