FL Divorce Buyout in Florida
Since 1979 Somerset Mortgage Lenders Co. has been considered a leader in the residential mortgage lending business and is currently licensed in 26 states, including Florida, offering its expertise in many of the circumstances that life brings to many homeowners. In most cases Somerset has been able to provide lower payments for the spouse remaining while giving large cash outs to the other. Our Divorce Buyout Loan Specialists work with you to determine how much of a loan you need and what it will cost to refinance.Following is an example of how Divorce Buyout works:
Example: John and Jane own a house valued at $500,000, with a mortgage (or mortgages) that total $300,000. If you subtract the value from the total loan about ($500,000 - $300,000) you get the equity of the house, in this case $200,000. If John and Jane split their assets 50-50, each have $100,000 equity in the house. Therefore, if John wishes to keep the house, he would need to refinance the mortgage(s) with a total loan amount of $400,000 and use the remaining $100,000 to buy out his spouse.

Seminoles may be forced to halt games
It may be only a matter of time before the Seminoles are under legal threat to shut down their new high-stakes card games and Las Vegas-style slots. Legal experts say they have at least 15 days to figure out their next move. That's how much time they have to ask the Florida Supreme Court to reconsider its Thursday decision that Gov. Charlie Crist's compact to allow the card games and Las Vegas-style slots is an unconstitutional exercise of his power. If the justices decide not to take up the case again, their Thursday order goes into effect. There are a number of possibilities after that.

Proposed license plate: 'Hispanics discovered Florida'
Honk if you love Hispanics. A license plate that touts 'Hispanics Discovered Florida' may soon join the 109 specialty tags drivers can choose from. The idea to celebrate the contributions of Hispanics came from National Hispanic Corporate Achievers, a Longwood group that sponsors minority job fairs. The plate would become a fundraising tool to support job and mentorship programs. Danny Ramos, the group's president, said the tag's message is about cultural pride for Florida's 3.6 million Hispanics -- even if not all of Latin American or Spanish descent identify with the term.
