I have a salitle  office over on that side of town and the city is getting ready to dump alot of money into the area of town.The Decade before it A maybe  in real time is over five under 8.There so much development that is getting ready to take place in that area that is taking place.

I have owned 3 brokerages over the years and I am a firm believer because its fact 20% of agents bring in 80% of revenue.. you need to figure out how to be a 20% er. 4.

Construction and the main office is in Evergreen Park.

In the Province of British Columbia, companies are using bare trust agreements (held confidential at Lawyers office) to hide the true owners of Limited Companies.

A better approach might be to find a REI Association in the area(s) and ask other investors for their recommendations - it's not uncommon to choose a different appraiser depending on the type of property (residential vs commercial MFH vs. office or industrial) and the objective of the appraisal.

The other reason why you would choose option 2 is that no investor would ever buy #1 and the bank might have trouble financing a deal where the revenue can be iffy.  

It’s just 7 miles from the beach, 2 miles from a large new hospital and medical campus, and within 2 miles of the county government offices.

I only received a letter from the appraisal office saying that the value went up but no notice about my taxes going up by 50%.

Don't we want to seek growth and create further opportunities for revenue as investors? 

If the property is a personal property used for personal purposes, there is no depreciation since its not a business asset.There may be a chance that you have a home office within the home that is eligible for some write-off but you have to be using the home office towards a business activity.
