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

What's different about buying in Oregon
Major metros: Portland is the largest market, with Eugene, Bend, and Salem as notable secondary markets.
Major health systems: OHSU, Providence, Legacy Health, Kaiser Permanente Northwest, Asante, and Salem Health are among the state's largest physician employers.
Taxes: Oregon has no sales tax but a higher state income tax, an important trade-off for high-earning physicians weighing total cost of living.
Lifestyle markets: Bend is a pricier lifestyle destination where home prices can run higher than much of the state, so loan amounts there may climb.
Budgeting: Property taxes and any HOA dues factor into your monthly payment — model it with our physician mortgage calculator before you shop.

Oregon physician mortgage FAQ
Do doctors get better mortgage rates in Oregon?
Not automatically. The advantage is usually in the terms — no PMI, low or no down payment, and student-debt-friendly underwriting — more than a guaranteed lower rate. Rates vary by lender and profile, which is why comparing matters.
How do physician mortgage loans work?
A bank with a physician program lets eligible doctors finance a home with little or no money down and without PMI, often qualifying you on a signed contract and income-based student-loan payments. You're matched with a lender, get pre-approved, and shop with confidence.
Are physician loans 0% down in Oregon?
Some lenders offer up to 100% financing for eligible physicians; others ask for a small down payment. It depends on the lender, your degree, and the loan amount.
Who qualifies for a physician mortgage in Oregon?
Generally MD, DO, DDS/DMD, and DPM physicians — residents, fellows, and attendings — with some lenders including additional degrees. Each lender sets its own rules.
Can Oregon residents and fellows buy before they start work?
Often, yes — many programs let you close using a signed employment contract shortly before your start date. Common for doctors relocating to Oregon for residency or a new position.
