Why a Bank of America physician mortgage loan?

Although physicians often enter medical practice burdened with debt, being a medical professional comes with benefits. Lenders, recognizing the solid financial reputation of physicians, offer exclusive financing to help doctors achieve financial freedom. This means you can purchase a home, begin or expand private practices, and maintain a comfortable living, even right out of medical school or residency.

The lenders

In this series, we evaluate some of the top lenders in this financial arena. These are institutions which understand the income potential and outstanding payment history of physicians and can offer perks like competitive rates and higher debt.
