FAQ

Physician loans: common questions

I am still in residency. Can I qualify?
Often yes. Troy and Andrea bought while she was moving from residency to her first attending position.
Do deferred student loans count against me?
Physician programs treat deferred and income-based payments more flexibly than standard guidelines.
Can I use it for a second home?
Physician programs are usually for a primary residence.
How long does it take to close?
Most loans close in about 21–30 days. Some of Craig’s recent clients closed a purchase in 9 days and a refinance in 4 days when the file was ready — every file is different.
How much do I need for a down payment?
It depends on the program. VA, USDA and physician loans can be zero down for eligible borrowers, FHA starts at 3.5%, and some conventional programs start at 3% — or 1% with lender-paid assistance for income-qualified buyers. Down payment assistance can cover part or all of it.
