The short answer
A physician mortgage is a specialized home-financing option for eligible medical professionals. Depending on the program, underwriting may address employment contracts or student debt differently from standard financing. Eligible credentials and terms vary.
Mortgage guidance with Jennifer Reich · NMLS 162239
Medical training can create a financial profile with substantial student loans, a new employment contract, and income that is about to change. A physician option may be worth comparing with conventional financing.
Do not assume that every medical profession, residency, or employment arrangement qualifies. Jennifer will review the current program's credential, employment, and property requirements.
How are student loans and future income evaluated?
Programs may have specific rules for student-loan payments and signed employment contracts. Student debt is not automatically ignored, and anticipated earnings are not automatically qualifying income.
Compare the actual rate, down payment, insurance requirements, and cash reserves with a standard mortgage before deciding.
