Professional Program (Medical, Dental)

Financing that understands call schedules, residencies, and practice ownership.

Physicians and dentists don’t follow a typical career path, so standard mortgage rules don’t always fit. Years of training, large student loans, delays in peak earning, and suddenly a sharp jump in income—all of that makes your file look unusual unless someone knows how to read it. This program is tailored for medical and dental professionals at every stage—residency, fellowship, associate, partner, or clinic owner—so your mortgage reflects your real earning trajectory, not just this year’s tax return.

How Lenders Look At Medical And Dental Professionals

Banks don’t just see a job title; they see risk, income patterns, and long-term potential. For medical and dental clients, that mix can work in your favour—if it’s presented correctly.

Career Stage And Earning Trajectory

A resident with modest current income but a signed offer, a new associate building a patient base, or an established practitioner buying a building are all evaluated differently. We position your file in the context of your training, specialty, and realistic income path instead of treating you like any other salaried applicant.

Compensation Structure And Documentation

Clinic income, billings, fee-for-service, salary plus bonus, or corporate dividends all show up in different places on paper. We align your pay structure—whether personal or through a corporation—with the type of proof lenders expect, so they can see stable, ongoing capacity rather than a pile of unexplained deposits.

Personal Credit, Student Debt, And Reserves

Sizeable student loans are normal in your field. The question is whether, after accounting for those payments, there’s still comfortable room for a mortgage. We review credit behaviour, existing obligations, and liquid reserves to show that even with legacy debt, the overall picture is solid.

What The Professional Program Is Built To Do

This isn’t about special treatment for a title; it’s about matching the way you’re paid and where you’re headed with a mortgage structure that won’t hold you back.

Step-By-Step Experience For Medical And Dental Clients

The process is structured around your time constraints and the way your career actually moves, not generic timelines.
Step 1

Initial Profile Review

We begin with a focused discussion about your role (resident, associate, owner, etc.), current and expected income, existing loans, and what you’re trying to buy or refinance. Using that, we outline what is realistically possible now and what may need a short runway.

Step 2

Strategy And Lender Shortlist

Next, we determine which lenders and programs fit your profile: some have specific accommodations for medical and dental professionals, others apply standard rules. We narrow the list to options that make sense for your stage and objectives, then compare structure—rate type, term, amortization, and flexibility.

Step 3

Application, Conditions, And Closing

Once a direction is chosen, we build the application and supporting file in a way that makes the underwriter’s job easy: clear narrative, proper income support, and explanations where your file differs from a conventional salaried client. As conditions come back, we help you respond quickly so your approval doesn’t stall.

Step 4

Post-Closing Check-Ins

After the mortgage is set up and the purchase or refinance is complete, we stay available for key decision points—renewals, practice changes, or plans to buy a clinic or building—so your financing continues to match your professional life.

Who Typically Uses This Program

The details differ from one specialty to another, but the underlying themes are similar: high human capital, non-linear income, and limited time to manage complex paperwork.

Residents And Fellows

You may have modest pay today but clear evidence of what you’ll earn once training wraps up. We work with offer letters, contracts, and lender policies that recognize your near-term earning power.

Early-Stage Associates

Associates often experience income growth over the first few years as patient panels fill. We take that into account, rather than treating the first year like a permanent ceiling, and look at how to keep enough flexibility for future moves.

Established Practitioners Buying A Home Or Space For Their Practice

If you’re already running or buying into a clinic, we coordinate personal housing needs with practice-related borrowing so the combination is sustainable rather than stretched.

Professionals Restructuring Existing Debt

For doctors and dentists who have combined practice loans, student debt, and a mortgage, we can review whether a re-structure improves cash flow and reduces risk, or whether current arrangements are already efficient.

FAQs

Getting Started With A Professional Mortgage Review

To begin, it helps to have: A brief summary of your current role and where you are in training or practice An overview of your income (current and expected) Rough figures for student and other major loans An idea of what you’re looking to buy or refinance and when With that, we can sketch out a financing approach that respects both your profession and your personal plans—and then move as quickly or gradually as your schedule allows.
