Doctor Loans

A doctor loan is a home loan built for physicians and other medical professionals whose income and debts look different from most buyers. It takes training, rising pay, and student loan debt into account, instead of judging you only on today’s pay and debts. Deb Gontko Klein helps medical professionals buy without waiting years to save a large down payment, if you qualify. Serving home buyers in Arizona, California & Colorado since 2004.

Who it helps

  • Physicians, including residents and fellows in training, if you qualify.
  • Dentists, veterinarians, and other medical professionals, if the program covers your field.
  • Medical professionals with student loan debt and a signed work contract for a future start date.

How it works

Down payment: A small down payment, or in some cases no down payment, may be possible, if you qualify.

Mortgage insurance: Mortgage insurance is not required for Medical Professional loans.

Student debt: Student loan payments may get additional flexibility for borrowers who are or will be in residency or a clinical fellowship program. A signed work contract may be used as proof of future income.

Things to think about

  • A doctor loan can help you buy sooner, but the monthly payment still has to fit your budget once training ends and real life costs begin. Look at the full payment, with taxes and insurance.
  • Doctor loans may carry different rates or costs from other loans. Compare the full cost before you choose.
