How Much Can I Get Approved For?
This is dependent on your debt-to-income ratio. Your student loans may be excluded if you defer them for 12 months (this will vary from lender to lender).
How Much Do I Need For a Down Payment?
Some lenders require no down payment for loans below $500,000. The exact down payment will vary from lender to lender.
How is a physician loan different from a conventional loan?
A major difference is the down payment. A conventional loan will require a minimum 3% down, while the physician loan allows you to finance 100% of the purchase.
Another difference is a conventional mortgage has a fixed rate while a physician loan is a variable-rate mortgage. The variable rate is fixed for usually 5, 7, or 10 years. The theory is you will sell or refinance your home before the rate changes.
Can I buy a home before my residency or new position starts?
Yes, it’s possible, but it depends on the lender. Some lenders will be able to approve you and close on a home before your new program starts.
What do I need to provide the lender to get pre-approved?
The lender will need all your personal information, current financial information as well as the offer letter from your new program.
