If youre a medical student who is graduating medical school in May and beginning your residency in June/July, youll want probably to get settled in somewhere around June 1st.

While your new job may have a substantial salary, your debt-to-income ratio may be a bit high and you may think you downt have a sufficient down-payment. Plus, you may not be starting your job for 60 days or so. You probably want to get into your new home with low or no money down, and also to keep your payments low. There are mortgage programs especially for doctors, medical students, and residents prior to starting a new job.

I have the lenders for you to speak with for these special doctor's or physician's mortgages; they have successfully helped many of my medical clients. There are several different programs. Each one will have specific features and benefits.
