Key Benefits Of A Doctor Loan

Beyond enjoying the prestige and immense job security, being a doctor is also advantageous when it comes to applying for a home loan. Physicians are known to have high salaries and a more stable job market compared to other professions, which make them lucrative and low-risk borrowers for banks and lenders. In fact, in recent years, lenders have been fighting to get their business. They recognise that doctors are some of the most financially stable professionals out there, thus, making them credit-worthy loan candidates. Even at the point of residency, when they haven’t reached their full earning potential yet, they could already have loan options. Today, doctor loans have become more popular and have developed into a sweet and highly tempting deal. What are the advantages of a doctor loan? If you are a medical practitioner and considering borrowing some money for an investment in your practice or otherwise, here are some key benefits of a doctor loan.

1. Waived Lenders Mortgage Insurance

One of the main advantages of a doctor loan is not needing to pay Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI). It is a one-time, non-refundable, and non-transferrable premium that’s added to your loan. The LMI basically protects the bank against any losses in the event that you are unable to repay your loan. The figure is based on the amount you are borrowing and how much deposit you are willing to pay. You can avoid paying for LMI by meeting the 20% deposit requirement by lenders, meaning you can only borrow up to 80% of your property’s value. Higher deposits will mean lesser lenders’ mortgage insurance. But, if you are unable to meet the 20% down payment, you will be required to get an LMI. Fortunately for you, since banks and lenders have high regard for a doctor’s ability to pay them back, they can completely waive the LMI. There’s no need for you to make a guarantee, even if you are unable to arrive with the usual required down payment. This could possibly save you around $10,000 – $40,000, depending on the purchase price of the property you are buying.

2. Lower Deposit/Higher Loan To Value Ratio

The loan-to-value (LVR) ratio determines your risk to the lender as a borrower. It is calculated by dividing the loan amount by the lender-assessed value of the property. For example, your lender values the property at $500,000 and you can make a deposit of $100,000. So, you will need to borrow the remaining difference of $400,000. In this case, the LVR will be calculated as $400,000 (amount to be borrowed) divided by $500,000 (assessed property value). The LVR will be 80%. Typically, lenders consider an LVR of 80% or more to be risky and will require an added LMI. But, if you are a doctor, you will not have to worry about having to reach the 20% or more required deposit. Some lenders will even accept as low as a 10% deposit. You can also borrow higher LVR loans amounting to 90%, or even 100% depending on your lender, of the property price without any guarantee requirements. We can help you get lower interest rates and discounts while also offering other great benefits like flexible payment plans and quick approval times. Moreover, we’re prepared to work around your schedule and do most of the legwork involving your home loan application so you can focus on helping others!
