Many lenders recognize the distinctive financial situation of doctors and offer specialized mortgage programs designed specifically for medical professionals. These physician loan programs acknowledge the significant earning potential and job security that comes with a medical career, even when doctors are just starting out with substantial student loan debt.
One of the most attractive features of physician mortgage loans is that they often require no down payment while still avoiding private mortgage insurance (PMI). Additionally, many of these programs allow doctors to qualify for a mortgage before they officially start their new position - a significant advantage for those relocating for residency or their first attending position. These specialized loans typically offer impressive loan amounts up to $2 million, making them particularly valuable in competitive housing markets.
The process of buying a home as a physician often involves coordinating with multiple parties, including relocation companies, escrow, lenders and medical institutions. When choosing a realtor, physicians should look for someone who understands the unique challenges of medical professionals, including irregular work schedules, the complexities of physician loan programs, and experience working with hospital relocation services. That is why my focus is working directly with physicians. I understand the ins and outs, the challenges and what to look out for when navigating all of the moving pieces. I look forward to connecting with you!
