Who qualifies for these loan programs

A career in medicine doesn’t follow a straight path — and your home loan shouldn’t have to, either.

From long hours and years of training to complex income structures and career moves, medical professionals face unique challenges when it comes to buying or refinancing a home. So, here at Atlantic Bay, we offer loan programs designed specifically for medical professionals, with flexibility built in to support where you are today and where you’re headed next.

Why Medical Professionals Need a Different Kind of Loan

Medical careers so often look different on paper than traditional nine-to-five jobs. Residency, fellowships, variable income, contract work, and student loan debt can all make qualifying for a mortgage feel more complicated than it should.

That’s where our prescription comes in. Medical professional loan options are designed with your career path in mind — helping make homeownership more attainable without forcing you into some one-size-fits-all solution neither of us will be happy with.

Key Features of Medical Professional Loan Programs

Depending on the specific program and your qualifications, medical professional loans through Atlantic Bay may offer:

  • Financing options up to 100% loan-to-value on qualifying loans

  • Loan amounts up to $2.5 million, based on program structure

  • Fixed-rate and adjustable-rate (ARMA home loan with a lower initial rate that can change up or down after a set period based on an index, offering lower upfront payments and flexibility for shorter-term homeowners.ARMA home loan with a lower initial rate that can change up or down after a set period based on an index, offering lower upfront payments and flexibility for shorter-term homeowners.) options

Program eligibility, loan limits, income requirements, and terms vary by loan type — which is why working with an experienced Atlantic Bay Mortgage Banker is critical for your homeownership status’s health.
