Physician loans, also referred to as doctor mortgages, cater to medical professionals with unique financial circumstances. These specialized loans come with attractive terms such as low or no down payments, exemption from private mortgage insurance, and flexible debt-to-income ratios. What sets these loans apart is the consideration of a doctor's potential future income, rather than solely relying on their current income and debt, during the eligibility assessment.
Medical professionals often possess high earning potential but may also carry significant student loan debt, impacting their current financial situation. By acknowledging these factors, physician loans play a vital role in making homeownership more accessible for doctors who might face challenges qualifying for traditional mortgages. For doctors aiming to purchase a home in New York, these tailored loans offer a valuable opportunity to turn their dream of homeownership into a concrete reality.
Once you've made the decision to purchase a home and have the intention of residing in New York for an extended period, giving serious thought to putting down 20% and opting for a conventional mortgage is highly advisable. By doing so, you'll unlock enhanced monthly cash flow, granting you significant financial flexibility to invest and even indulge in expenses.
If you're going to buy a home in New York AND you can't or don't want to put 20% down, then a doctor mortgage loan is a reasonable option and at least as good as the other non-20%-down options.
When comparing conventional vs. doctor mortgages, physician loans do have lots of advantages, but those primarily revolve around easier underwriting requirements. A doctor mortgage can help you qualify for a loan you otherwise couldn't get.
Qualifying for conventional mortgages may present more challenges, but there's a purpose behind it. If you meet the criteria for a conventional mortgage, especially if you can make a substantial down payment to avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI), you'll typically enjoy the benefit of lower interest rates and fees. This translates to a reduced monthly payment and a lower overall cost for your loan.
