What makes a physician mortgage different
Physician programs ("doctor loans") are designed around the financial shape of a medical career. Compared with a conventional loan, the banks in our network commonly offer:
Low or no down payment, with some lenders financing up to 100% (varies by lender and degree)
No private mortgage insurance (PMI), even with less than 20% down
Student-loan-friendly underwriting, often using income-based payments rather than the full balance
Qualifying on a signed employment contract, before your first paycheck
