You have been assigned the task of appraising the Oak Park community Center in Diggston, BC. The centre is located in the middle of Maple leaf estates, a townhouse subdivision on the outskirts of the town. The land on which the centre is built was purchased 8 years ago at a cost of $18,000; while similar lots today sell for $28,000. The centre, a 4,000 sq. Ft.
