Physician mortgage loans

A high-balance financing program designed to reflect the earning trajectory and unique career timelines of doctors, dentists, nurses, and other licensed medical professionals — available now through my network of wholesale lenders.

  • Purchase or rate-and-term refinance on a primary residence
  • Available even with limited employment history — residents and fellows included
  • No monthly private mortgage insurance (PMI) at any qualifying tier
  • Financing up to 100% — zero down payment — with loan amounts up to $2,000,000

No PMI, flexible terms

Even at high LTV, borrowers avoid the added monthly PMI cost that comes standard on most conventional high-LTV loans — which can mean real monthly savings and more buying power. This applies at every qualifying tier, whether 100% or 95% financing.

  • Debt-to-income (DTI): up to 50% on 20- and 30-year fixed terms (680+ credit score); up to 45% across other eligible tiers and ARM products
  • Fixed rates: 15-, 20-, 25-, and 30-year terms
  • SOFR ARMs: 5/6, 7/6, and 10/6 structures

Who qualifies

Through my network of participating lenders, eligibility spans an expanded list of medical and healthcare professions:

  • Medical Doctor (MD) and Doctor of Osteopathy (DO)
  • Doctor of Ophthalmology and Doctor of Psychiatry (MD or DO)
  • Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM or VMD)
  • Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA with DNAP or DNP)
  • Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS)
  • Medical residents, fellows, and interns (with an eligible medical degree)
  • Doctor of Dental Science/Surgery (DDS) and Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD)
  • Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD)
  • Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM)
  • Registered Nurse (RN)
  • Chiropractor (DC)

Property and transaction details

  • Transaction types: primary residence (owner-occupied); purchase and rate/term refinance
  • Eligible properties: 1-unit single-family homes, Fannie Mae warrantable condos, PUDs, and modular homes
  • Minimum loan amounts: $100,000 for fixed-rate loans; $350,000 for ARMs
  • States: no state restrictions within my licensed states

An illustrative comparison

On a hypothetical $700,000 purchase price (for illustration only — not a rate or payment quote), a conventional loan with 5% down plus PMI would require roughly $35,000 upfront, versus $0 down with this program — plus no monthly PMI charge for the life of the qualifying tier.

One relationship, many lender options

I shop this program — and overlapping ones — across several wholesale lending partners to find the best fit. Overlapping programs mean more professions and more scenarios can qualify than any single lender offers alone, and I guide you from pre-approval through closing, with a process built around non-traditional income and employment timelines.
