used to belong to my father and I am sure he never had it appraised as well. I just know lakefront and all that land, am not gonna give away. No, I don’t have to sell either, just as I stated gets old (especially with husband) with all that mowing. If I got someone else to mow, the price would be just too much $$$.

Well, Step-One: Get it appraised by an outside
on TODAY's market, which in most areas is anywhere from 40%-50% lower than it would've appraised for 3 years ago, when home values were obscenely inflated.
Then see about the loan at the current appraisal rate, NOT what it was worth 3 years ago. Maybe you'll have better luck that way.
Friend or not, I would shy away from having the house appraised by someone who is a friend of the current owner's. That would be a conflict of interest that's better steered clear of.
Good luck!
