About our doctor based mortgage programs

Frequently Asked Quetions

A "qualified borrower" is typically a medical resident, fellow or attending physician with a signed contract for employment.

Including:

  • Physicians (MD, DO)
  • Licensed Residents/Interns/Fellows in MD, DO programs.
  • Dentists (DDS and DMD)

While we can facilitate a doctor mortgage nationwide, we typically deal with borrowers in the Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin metro areas.

We offer loan amounts up to 100% of the home value. This means you will not need a downpayment.

Typically contact start dates are within 90 days of the loan application, but we make the decision on a case by case basis.

No, as long as there is a signed employment contract in place with a start date of less than 90 days out.

Specialized Mortgage Guidelines

Physician-based Mortgages Benefits

Zero Downpayment

Physician mortgages require very little to no downpayment. This means you can get into a home for a lot less money than it would take other types of borrowers. The extra savings helps put you in a beneficial position so that you don't have to deplete your savings just to move into your new home.

No Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI)

Private Mortgage Insurance or PMI is a monthly fee that lenders add to your mortgage in case you default on your loan. The amount varies but is typically 0.5% to 1% of the entire loan amount on an annual basis. So in other words, a $300k mortgage could force the homeowner to add an additional $250/mo fee to their mortgage. The PMI is typically added to any mortgage where the borrower doesn't put down at least 20%. Fortunately, our underwriters have eliminated PMI for our physician-based mortgage products - allowing you to put as little as zero down and still not pay for PMI.

Student Loan Consideration

Student loans are often a barrier because they create a high debt to income ratio, our physician-based mortgage programs can factor those out of the equation allowing you to qualify for a larger mortgage amount.

Future Income Consideration

We look at your future income vs your past income. Typical mortgages require the average of your last 2 years of employment and use that as your basis. However, we understand that often times a new or recent contract provides you with a higher income level and it's rather secure so we can even get your approved for financing before you've begun working at a new location.
