Mortgage for Residents
Created with physician residents in mind
A mortgage specifically designed for you
If you plan to buy a home at any time during your residency, this is THE loan for you. No limits on experience. Due to the fact that you've embarked on your postgraduate training or residency journey, you have a unique borrower profile that often prevents you from obtaining a mortgage from a typical mortgage lender. You are likely to face several hurdles in obtaining a mortgage as a resident. We work with your individual circumstances and scenario to get you into your dream home. Our resident mortgage programs were developed for your unique situation and borrower profile. We'll work with your student loans, downpayment requirements, and help you get into your dream home.
According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, 75% of medical school graduates have debt averaging $190,694.00. This presents a problem to conventional mortgage lenders who base their underwriting guidelines on DTI or Debt to Income Ratios. However, our physician mortgage programs are custom tailored to physicians like you and we take your student loan debt into consideration so that it does not adversely affect you.
These special terms such as zero downpayment, student loan consideration, and no PMI are offered to all doctors from residents to attendings and more.
