Should you use a North Carolina physician mortgage loan?
“Am I the right fit for a doctor mortgage?” If you are asking yourself this question, consider the following questions, too:
- Are you committed to your current job?
- Do you want to remain in your region of North Carolina?
- Are you okay with higher interest rates?
If you said no to any of these questions, take some time to determine whether a doctor mortgage is really the best fit for you. If the answer was ‘yes’ to all of the above, one of these loans may be just the financial leverage you need.
Examples of doctors who take out physician loans in North Carolina
Doctors and professionals with situations similar to yours are taking out physician loans across North Carolina. The stories below are just some of the reasons why doctors are reaching out to lenders for physician loans.
Doctor whose DTI ratio is skewed by debt
Having started a new position in pediatrics at UNC Hospitals just outside Durham, Roger assumed he would be a natural fit for a conventional loan. Little did he know that the student debt he was still carrying was throwing his debt-to-income ratio off, despite his great salary. Fortunately for Roger, a local lender is extending doctor mortgages to physicians like him. This lender understands why his student debt exists and that he will continue to be a high earner for years to come.
Doctor who wants to maximize leverage
Terry is happy being a doctor, but he may have missed a second calling in life. He has always excelled at leveraging various financial instruments in order to get a great return on investments. Having seen that a regional lender is offering doctor mortgages at a great rate, he has jumped on the opportunity to finance a new home at zero down.
