Who qualifies for a physician mortgage?

These programs are built around specific medical degrees that allow for 0% down and PMI financing.

Medical Doctors (MD/DO)

This is for licensed physicians including attendings, residents, and fellows. If you haven't started yet, you can still qualify using your signed employment contract.

Dentists (DMD/DDS)

Both general dentists and specialists qualify - orthodontists, oral surgeons, periodontists, endodontists, and more.

Residents & Fellows

Still in training? You can qualify with a signed contract or residency match letter. In many cases, we can use your future attending income - not your current resident pay.

Optometrists (OD)

Licensed optometrists can qualify under certain physician loan programs. We'll confirm eligibility based on the specific program.

Podiatrists (DPM)

Doctors of Podiatric Medicine are eligible under many physician mortgage options available here in Texas.

Other Medical Pros

Some programs also extend to PharmDs, CRNAs, PAs, NPs, and similar roles. Eligibility depends on the lender - ask us about expanded options.

Why physicians choose this loan

This loan for Physician Mortgages is built around the real challenges medical professionals face - large student debt, delayed income while in training, and needing to buy a home before starting a new position. Estimate your numbers with our mortgage calculator.

0% down - up to $1M+

Most programs allow you to purchase with 0% down up to $1M, and with 5-10% down options extending to $2M+. No matter the down payment - there's no PMI.

No PMI - Ever

Unlike conventional loans where you pay PMI until you 20% equity, physician loans don't charge PMI at all. That alone can save you anywhere from $300 to $800+ per month depending on your loan size.

Student loan flexibility

This is a big one because loans in deferment or on income based repayment (IBR) may be excluded completely - or calculated at just 0.5% of the balance instead of the standard 1%.

Employment contract qualifying

You don't have to wait until your first paycheck! We can use your signed employment contract as proof of income, which is ideal if you are relocating or transitioning from residency to an attending role.

Physician Mortgage FAQ

Common questions from doctors and dentists buying homes in Texas.

MDs, DOs, DMDs, and DDSs are widely accepted across all programs. Some lenders also include PharmDs, ODs, DPMs, CRNAs, NPs, and PAs. Most programs are designed for professionals within their first 10 years of practice, including residents and fellows. If you haven't started yet, your signed contract can be used instead of pay stubs.
Typically, with a physician mortgage, up to $1M with 0% down and no PMI. The program extends to $1.5M with 5% down. Your exact limit will depend on your credit score, income, and debt-to-income ratio.
There are three main differences: (1) No PMI at any loan-to-value -- conventional loans require it under 20% equity. (2) Flexibility for student loans - conventional loans are stricter with calculations. (3) Qualify with employment contract - your current paystubs are required for conventional loans. The tradeoff is that rates can sometimes be a little higher than the lowest conventional rates.
Most definitely - these physician mortgages loans are created directly for residents and fellows. You can qualify using your contract or match letter, and in some cases, we can use your future attending income instead of your current stipend.
This is where these loans really stand out. Typically, conventional loans count student loans at 0.5%-1% of the total balance for debt-to-income purposes - even if they are deferred. While the physician loan may exclude student loans entirely or use your income-based-repayment (IBR). On something like a $300K in student loans, that difference can be what makes or breaks your approval.
Most physician mortgages are focused on purchases, but some programs do allow refinancing. And if you already own a home, we can also look at conventional refinance options to see what makes the most sense for you.
There are some physician programs that accept 680, but most programs look for at least a 700 credit score. If you are at 740+, you will usually qualify for the best rates. If you are not there yet, we can help map out a plan to get there.
No - these loans are strictly for primary residences. If you are looking at an investment property or second home, we can go over other options like conventional, jumbo or DSCR loans.
