The traditional 30-year fixed-rate mortgage has a constant interest rate and monthly payments that never change. A 30-year fixed-rate loan may be a good option if you plan on staying in your home for years to come. We're here to make the home loan process easier, with tools and knowledge that will help guide you along the way, starting with our 30-Year Fixed Rate Mortgage Qualifier.
An ARM is an Adjustable Rate Mortgage. Unlike fixed-rate mortgages that have an interest rate that remains the same for the life of the loan, the interest rate on an ARM will change periodically.

The intial interest rate of an ARM is lower then that of a fixed-rate mortgage, consequently, an ARM maybe a good option to consider if you plan to own your home for only a few years; you expect an increase in future earnings; or, the prevailing interest rate for a fixed mortgage is too high.We're here to make it easier, with tools and expertise that will help guide you along the way, starting with our Adjustable-Rate Mortgage Qualifier.

Wow! I have no words for how amazing Josh was. As first time home buyers we had so many questions and doubts. Josh was able to help us with feeling 100% comfortable with our home purchase. I would 200% recommend him and his team. Thank you so much Josh!!!

We are so glad we chose to work with Russel McQuade from Buy Wise Mortgage for our refi! He came highly recommended to us by our realtor. Russel was very knowledgable, answered all of our questions, and kept in constant contact with us about how our loan was progressing. We got a great rate, saved several hundred dollars a month on our mortgage payment, and we closed on time. We will definitely work with Russel and the Buy Wise team again in the future.

I recently discovered BuyWise Mortgage on youtube while researching something unrelated to home loans. Since rates are at an all time low, I've been exploring options for refinancing my loan. After watching the youtube video of Josh and Jeb Smith, I decided to contact BuyWise to see if a refi would be beneficial.
Russell promptly contacted me to discuss my situation. I was thoroughly impressed by his knowledge and I appreciate his candor. After discussing my options, we realized it would not pay for me to refinance! If anyone has mortgage needs, I would not hesitate to contact BuyWise

Very happy with Josh and his team. I found Josh a few years ago after being declined repeatedly by various mortgage companies because of my student loans. I must have applied to at least 5 different companies who initially assured me that I could be approved to refinance, and after spending a lot of time submitting documents (and once even spending money on an appraisal) I was ultimately denied because the other companies did not know how to calculate my student loans that I am paying under IBR. I found Josh after I stumbled upon articles online on how IBR payments should be calculated. He

Buywise Mortgage rocks! I had a tough loan and they got me a loan with good terms even though I don't have perfect credit.

I worked with Kristie Bellows and she will answer all of your questions in layperson terms.

At first I was working with New American Funding who cost me an appraisal and then could not close my loan.

I called Buywise and Kristie answered all my questions and found me a loan to work with my situation. I could not be happier.

This is a long overdue review for Josh Lewis with BuyWise Mortgage! We have worked with Josh since early 2000s for every mortgage (x4) and re-finance (several) over the many years and we wouldn't think of taking our business elsewhere. We made that mistake early on in approximately 2001, and almost fell out of escrow bc of that bad decision. Josh came to our rescue after I called I'm humiliated and embarrassed. He didn't bat an eyelash and worked his magic and we closed perfectly on time and with better terms than we were promised from the other, failed, company.

I'm getting my keys on Sunday!! From the get go, I was a difficult case to get approved. Young single, mother on a 10-99 basis. Mortgage lenders do not like me! I can't say how grateful I am for Josh and his Team. They were diligent and on the ball throughout the process. I'm impressed with how effective and accurate their predications were. !!!!Warning!!!! Buying a house is like getting a colonoscopy, maybe a little more invasive. I'm just glad to be done! I'm finally moving into my own house and I have BuyWise to thank for that. If they helped me, I'm pretty sure

Josh Lewis has assisted us with a couple of loans over the years and he will always be our first choice if we need help in the future.

He's very knowledgeable, explains things thoroughly and supported us throughout the process. We knew we could trust him and were confident in his recommendations because he had our best interest at heart. Working with Josh isn't a one time loan but a long term relationship and he's become a friend to us! We've also recommended him to our family and friends who he's provided financial assistance to as well.

We highly recommend him
