    The Doctor Loan Program Built for Medical Professionals Who Are Ready to Own

    You spent a decade becoming a medical professional. You shouldn't have to wait another decade to own a home.

    Traditional lenders see your student debt and close the door. They don't understand that your $300K in loans comes with a $300K+ income trajectory. They don't recognize that your residency salary isn't your real earning potential. We do.

    Why Medical Professionals Choose Our Program

    Benefits Designed for Your Situation

    No-Down-Payment Options

    For Qualified Borrowers

    Keep your savings liquid. Some physician loan programs we work with offer no down payment for qualified borrowers, so you can move in without draining your accounts. Whether a program allows it depends on your credit profile and loan amount.

    No PMI

    Keep More Cash Each Month

    Most lenders charge PMI on physician loans with smaller down payments. We work with programs that don't — that money stays in your pocket instead of going to an insurance company. Over the life of your loan, that's tens of thousands saved.

    Student Loans Excluded

    Residency and Fellowship Training? We Get It.

    If you're in residency or a clinical fellowship, we can exclude your student loan payments when calculating your debt-to-income ratio. You qualify based on your actual financial situation, not a formula built for non-medical borrowers.

    Future Income Accepted

    Employment Contracts Up to 150 Days Out

    Starting a new position soon? We can use your employment contract to qualify you up to 150 days before your start date. Lock in your home before day one.

    Common Questions

    Frequently Asked Questions

    I have over $300,000 in student loans. Can I still qualify?

    Yes. If you're in residency or a clinical fellowship, we can exclude your student loan payments from your debt-to-income calculation. This dramatically improves your qualifying power and lets you purchase a home based on your actual financial situation.

    I haven't started my new job yet. Can I still get approved?

    Yes. We accept employment contracts up to 150 days before your start date. As long as you have a signed offer with your position, start date, and salary, we can use it to qualify you. This means you can secure your home before your new role even begins.

    How is this different from other doctor loan programs?

    Some of the physician loan programs we work with offer no down payment and no PMI for qualified borrowers. Whether a program allows no down payment depends on your credit profile and loan amount. Some programs also exclude student loan payments for those in training, which not all programs do.
