Physician Mortgage Loans in Rochester, NY

No PMI. Up to 100% financing. Built for doctors, residents, and fellows.

Whether you're starting residency at URMC or joining an attending position at Rochester Regional Health, there's a program structured for where you are right now.

Program Features

What Makes Physician Loans Different

Conventional loans penalize the financial profile of most medical professionals. Physician mortgage programs are specifically structured to account for student debt, deferred income, and the career trajectory of doctors.

Up to 100% Financing

No down payment required on qualifying programs. Keep your cash for student loans, practice setup, or reserves.

No Mortgage Insurance

No PMI — ever. Even at 100% financing. This alone saves hundreds per month compared to conventional loans.

Loan Amounts to $2,000,000

Jumbo-level financing available. Covers the full range of Rochester-area home prices, from starter homes to executive properties.

Residents & Fellows Welcome

Offer letters accepted. You don't need to be an attending yet. New graduates and those starting residency can qualify.

1099 / Self-Employed Eligible

Contract doctors and self-employed physicians qualify. Flexible income documentation compared to conventional programs.

Manual Underwrite Available

No AUS required. Complex income situations — multiple positions, moonlighting, fellowship stipends — can be reviewed manually.

The Process

How Physician Loan Qualification Works

01

Review Your Credentials & Timeline

We confirm your degree, employment status (resident, fellow, attending, contract), and start date. Offer letters are accepted for future positions.

02

Structure the Income Documentation

Physician loans handle income differently than conventional. We review your contract, base salary, moonlighting income, and how student loans are treated under each lender's guidelines.

03

Match to the Right Lender

We work with Orion, New Rez, and Sun West — each with slightly different physician loan programs. We match your scenario to the best fit on rate, LTV, and guidelines.

04

Get Pre-Approved

With your credentials and income structure confirmed, we issue a pre-approval. TRU Approval® (fully underwritten) is also available for physicians who want maximum offer strength.

05

Close

Physician loans close like any other mortgage. The key difference is the structure — no PMI, flexible down payment, and underwriting that accounts for your career trajectory.

Common Questions

Physician Loan FAQ

Do I need to be an attending physician to qualify?

No. Residents and fellows qualify using an offer letter or employment contract. You don't need to have started your attending position yet — the program is designed for the trajectory of your career, not just your current income.

How does the program handle student loan debt?

Physician loan programs typically treat student loans more favorably than conventional loans. Deferred student loan payments may be excluded or calculated differently, which can significantly improve your qualifying debt-to-income ratio.

Can I use this program as a first-time buyer?

Yes. First-time buyers are eligible. The physician mortgage program is specifically designed for medical professionals who may have limited savings due to years of training but strong future earning potential.

What credit score do I need?

Most physician loan programs require a minimum of 680 FICO. Only one tradeline is required, which is helpful for physicians who haven't had time to build extensive credit history during training.

Is this available for investment properties or second homes?

Physician loan programs are generally designed for primary residences. For investment properties, DSCR financing is typically the better fit. Contact us to discuss your specific situation.

Which lenders do you use for physician loans?

We work with multiple wholesale lenders that offer physician mortgage programs, including Orion, New Rez, and Sun West. Each has slightly different guidelines and pricing — we match your scenario to the best fit.

Can CRNAs and NPs qualify?

CRNAs with a DNP or DNAP are eligible on most programs. Nurse Practitioners may qualify depending on the lender. Contact us to review your specific credentials and scenario.
