If you ask Hurst residents what they like most about their community, and they will probably start bragging about their school system. Hurst’s Lawrence D. Bell High School is nationally recognized for excellence in academics, athletics, fine arts and leadership. It was chosen as a National Blue Ribbon School in 1994-1996, and is still recognized as one of the best schools in the country.

If you wander around the city, you will see for yourself that it is a pleasant, middle-class community. Great schools produce an educated community, and there are a lot of people here with at least some college education, which probably accounts for the comfortable standard of living.

Asking these questions of yourself and your lender will help you determine which mortgage and which lender you want to go with. It helps to understand that even with the smorgasbord of mortgage products available, they are all variations of the two basic kinds: fixed or adjustable rate mortgages.
Fixed Rate Mortgages do not change. Everything stays the same from the day of signing until you make your last payment. The interest rate is fixed, your house payment is the same every month and you know what day it will be paid off. Most mortgages are fixed rate.
Adjustable Rate Mortgages do change. The interest rate varies at specific intervals and can go up or down, depending on the economy and other factors. You do know today when the last payment is due, but you have no idea what your house payment will be twenty years from now.
