The Basics

What is a doctor loan in Utah?

A doctor loan, also called a physician mortgage, is a home loan program for certain eligible medical professionals. Program guidelines may accommodate medical career transitions, employment contracts, and student loan obligations.

Eligibility and loan features depend on the lender and program. Your profession alone does not guarantee approval.

Physician Mortgage Answers

Utah doctor loan FAQs

Are doctor loans only for physicians?

Not always. The program outlined here may include eligible dentists, pharmacists, podiatrists, veterinarians, and CRNAs, in addition to physicians. Confirm your specific degree and professional status.

Can I buy a home with no down payment?

Up to 100% financing may be available for qualified scenarios. Eligibility depends on loan amount, credit, reserves, and other requirements. Closing costs and prepaid expenses may still require funds.

Do doctor loans require mortgage insurance?

Qualifying scenarios may have no monthly mortgage insurance. That does not automatically make the loan less expensive. Compare the rate, APR, fees, and total payment.

Can residents or fellows qualify?

Certain residents, fellows, and interns may qualify when their profession, employment, income documentation, and overall application meet program requirements.

Can I use a new employment contract to qualify?

An executed employment contract may be considered when it meets program requirements. Ask your loan officer to review compensation, contingencies, start date, and required reserves before choosing a closing date.

Are student loans ignored for doctor mortgages?

Do not assume they are excluded. Student loan treatment depends on program rules and your documented circumstances. Provide current statements and repayment information for review.

What credit score do I need?

The program outlined here generally starts at a 680 FICO score. A higher score may be required for certain scenarios, and meeting the minimum does not guarantee approval.

How much can I borrow with a Utah doctor loan?

The program described here offers loan amounts up to $2,000,000 for eligible borrowers. Your approved amount and required down payment depend on income, debts, credit, reserves, property, and underwriting.

Can I finance a rental property or second home?

This program is limited to eligible one-unit primary residences. Ask about other financing if you are purchasing a second home or investment property.

Can I refinance with this doctor loan program?

Eligible rate-and-term refinances may qualify. Review the closing costs, new payment, loan term, and total borrowing costs before deciding.

This is not a commitment to lend. All loans are subject to credit, income, asset, property, occupancy, and underwriting approval. Eligible professions, credit requirements, loan amounts, financing percentages, reserves, mortgage insurance treatment, and other guidelines vary by scenario and may change.

Maximum financing percentages are not available at every loan amount. Zero down payment does not mean zero closing costs or no required reserves. Confirm current program terms with your loan officer.
