Benefits of the Medical Professional Home Loan
-
Student Loan Flexibility
Medical professionals often carry significant educational debt, but we don’t believe that should stand in the way of homeownership. When determining your eligibility, we use flexible student loan calculations tailored to medical professionals. -
Up to 100% Financing
Saving for a down payment can be tough when you’ve been making a medical resident’s salary. With the Medical Professional Home Loan, qualified borrowers may be able to finance up to 100% of the purchase price — with no money down. (Bear in mind that eligibility and program features vary based on factors like your credit profile, loan amount and loan-to-value ratio.) As a bonus, you can avoid mortgage insurance, which Conventional loans often require when you put down less than 20%. -
Income Flexibility for Early-Career Doctors
If you’re still in your residency, internship or fellowship, your current income doesn’t reflect your future income potential. This loan allows you to qualify based on your projected income, rather than relying solely on historical earnings.
Start Your Career and Buy a Home
You’ve worked hard to launch your medical career. Now, you can reach for your homeownership dreams, too. Remember:
- Buying a home doesn’t mean you have to put 20% down. Some loans can flex to your circumstances, if you qualify.
- Student loans don’t have to be a barrier to your home purchasing power.
- With this loan, your career trajectory matters just as much as your income history.
