Navigating Student Loans While Applying for Physician Home Loans
For many physicians, the road to their medical career often includes a sizable amount of student loans. These loans can influence the path to homeownership, particularly when applying for physician home loans. At Curbside, we understand this intersection and are dedicated to providing clarity for our physician clients.
Student Loans and Your Home Loan Application
Your student loan debt is a significant factor that lenders consider when assessing your home loan application. They look at your debt-to-income (DTI) ratio, which includes your student loans. A high DTI ratio can sometimes make it more challenging to secure a home loan.
The Silver Lining: Physician Home Loans
Physician home loans, also known as doctor loans, are specifically designed for medical professionals. These loans often allow for higher DTI ratios, accommodating the reality of student loan debt for many physicians. They also often require lower down payments and exclude student loan debt from DTI calculations.
