It is not uncommon for a lending institution to ask for a home appraisal either when the home is being purchased or when a homeowner wishes to refinance a home. The home appraisal is simply a valuation of the current market price of a home and it takes many different factors into account. It is important to distinguish one from a home inspection; they may be offered by the same company that they are not the same thing.
Many people believe that evaluation of the home lies largely on the condition of the house itself, this is not necessarily true. Often a large part of what determines the market value of a home is the existing condition of the real estate market and the area in which the home is located. You may own a beautiful home but if real estate prices are down in your area you may find that their appraisal is for much less money than you expect.
A company or individual that provides an appraisal should be a disinterested third party from either the lending institution or the owner of the property. If you have concerns about who is doing your appraisal it is best to bring them up with the lending institution prior to having one done. Generally the results of it are valid for six months so if you have concerns about potential bias it is better to speak earlier than later.

A lake is simply a body of water that is inland from an ocean. There are all shapes and sizes of lakes, and they’re usually fed by a river. Some lakes are man made, and some are naturally formed. Natural lakes are often found in mountainous regions where land elevations vary. This creates basins where water gathers along its normal drainage route.
Many of the larger lakes are created when a dam is built on a large river causing the water to form a large pool or water basin, and gradually drain out through the dam. The control of that water flow is maintained for several purposes: community water supplies, producing power, irrigation and recreational purposes. Maintenance and control is usually handled by the U.S. Corps of Engineers. They maintain many of the lakes and bodies of water in the United States.
