Match Season and Graduation Season for residents and fellows brings an influx of new home buyers. Over the past year, there have been several banks that have gotten out of the physician mortgage business so there will be fewer loan officers to handle the thousands of physicians who are looking for a loan at the same time.

If you think you might be buying a house in the next 6 months, Doug recommends that you start reaching out to banks now to start getting prequalified and approved for a home. With physician mortgages, you can generally purchase your new home and get moved in before you start your residency or new attending job.
