P&I:
A 7-year ARM offers a lower initial interest rate than a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, reducing your monthly payments during the early years. For a doctor expecting a significantly higher income, this allows for immediate savings while providing flexibility to refinance or pay off the loan before the rate adjusts.

“The condo is close to work and in a nice neighborhood. But it’s over $1,000,000, and after years of medical school and residency, saving money for a down payment has been challenging.”
A home loan that fits your financial situation
You found the perfect place. It's near the hospital, in a safe neighborhood, with everything you hoped for. But the $1 million price tag seems like an impossible dream after years of medical school and residency left little room for savings.
We know limited savings, new employment, and high student loan debt prevent many young doctors from buying homes early in their careers. So, we offer an affordable mortgage to help you buy a more valuable property without waiting.
