Home ownership often comes with many uncertainties. Learn more about your loan options, key differences and the mortgage process.

What is a physician loan?

A physician loan is a special mortgage program designed for medical professionals that offers low or minimal down payment, no private mortgage insurance (PMI), and flexible debt-to-income (DTI) requirements. It’s tailored to help doctors and dentists qualify for home financing early on in their careers while also always being there as an option as they become further established. 

Do physician loans work for dentists?

Yes! View our physician loans for dentists page for more information.

Who qualifies for physician loans?

Our physician loans are available to licensed medical professionals such as doctors and dentists. Eligibility depends on your degree, employment status, and credit profile.

Fixed rates vs. ARM mortgages?

A fixed-rate mortgage keeps the same interest rate for the life of the loan, therefore providing predictable monthly payments. An adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) typically starts with a lower rate that can change periodically based on market conditions after an initial fixed period. There is no “best option” as it depends based off your own mortgage needs.
