School Ratings For Allen, Frisco, McKinney and Plano Schools

School Ratings For Allen, Frisco, McKinney and Plano Schools

One of the most frequently asked questions by buyers is how to find school ratings. If you are curious about school ratings for Allen, Frisco, McKinney, Plano and other North Texas school districts, then click School Ratings. The link will take you to the Texas Education Agency's (TEA) school ratings search page.

The TEA search screen will then ask you two questions.

The first TEA question is "how do you wish to search?" Please choose the first choice "district name."

The second TEA prompt is "enter the appropriate name or number." Please type in the name of the school district. For example, if you wanted to search the ratings for schools in the Plano Independent School district, then you would simply type the word Plano in the box.

The TEA site will then display the ratings for every school in that school district.

The possible TEA ratings (from best to worst) are as follows:

-Exemplary

-Recognized

-Academically Acceptable

-Academically Unacceptable

Have You Recently Checked Your Credit Reports For Accuracy?

Mortgage interest rates are closely linked to credit scores. Borrowers with high credit scores are charged lower mortgage interest rates. Borrowers with low credit scores are charged higher mortgage interest rates.

Given the importance of credit scores, it really makes sense to regularly check your credit reports for accuracy. Unfortunately, mistakes on credit reports are not rare occurrences. Mistakes on credit reports happen far too frequently.

You can check your credit reports (Equifax, Experian and Trans Union) for free at https://annualcreditreport.com

A few minutes spent verifying the accuracy of your credit reports could save you lots of money on your next mortgage loan.

Low Mortgage Interest Rates Make This A Great Time To Purchase Your Dream Home In Allen, Frisco, McKinney or Plano

Low Mortgage Interest Rates Make This A Great Time To Purchase
Your Dream Home In Allen, Frisco, McKinney or Plano

Now is a great time to purchase a home in Allen, Frisco, McKinney, Plano and other North Texas cities. Mortgage interest rates are near historically low levels.

According to the January 29, 2009 Weekly Primary Mortgage Market Survey conducted by Freddie Mac, the average 30 year fixed-rate mortgage had an interest rate of 5.10%. The same survey also indicated that the average fees and points were only 0.7% of the principal balance.

The low mortgage interest rates translate into very affordable monthly mortgage payments. Assuming you borrowed $150,000 for 30 years at a 5.10% interest rate, then your principal and interest (PI) portion of your mortgage payment would be about $814.42 a month. Of course, you would still need to add in real estate taxes, homeowners insurance and PMI (if any PMI was required).
