The Physician Home Loan Program is a mortgage that makes it both quicker and easier for medical professionals such as residents, attending physicians, those right out of med school, and even veterinarians, Podiatrists, and Optometrists to buy a home with a low down payment. These loans are also available minus private mortgage insurance (PMI.)
Advantages of a Physician Mortgage Loan include:
- Competitive Fixed and Adjustable rates are available
- Lenders are flexible with debt-to-income (DTI) ratios due to high med-school debt
- Up to 100% financing
- Higher maximum loan amounts
- Early closing on a loan
- If starting a new job, an employment contract can be used as evidence of income
Two other major advantages of this type of loan are that lenders are able to offer a mortgage with zero to very little money down – only 0%, 5%, and 10% down depending on the lender.
