The Key Benefits (And Why They Matter)
- Up to 100% Financing
Yes — you read that right.
Qualified medical professionals may be able to purchase a home with up to 100% financing, depending on credit profile and loan structure.
That means little to no down payment required, helping you preserve cash for:
- Relocation
- Emergency reserves
- Student loan management
- Life outside of work
- No Monthly Mortgage Insurance (MI)
Most programs with high loan-to-value financing come with a cost — monthly mortgage insurance.
This program is different.
No mortgage insurance is required in eligible scenarios, even at higher loan-to-value levels.
That can significantly improve monthly affordability compared to traditional options.
- Student Loan Flexibility
This is one of the biggest differentiators.
Under certain conditions — particularly during residency or fellowship — student loan payments may be excluded from your debt-to-income ratio.
Translation:
- Your qualification may not be negatively impacted the same way it is with standard loans
- You may be able to qualify for more home — or qualify when you otherwise couldn’t
- Use Your Employment Contract to Qualify
Starting a new role soon?
This program allows qualifying with a fully executed employment contract or offer letter, even before your first paycheck.
That’s a game-changer for:
- Relocating physicians
- Residents transitioning into attending roles
- Medical professionals moving for new opportunities
- Designed for Real-Life Medical Career Paths
Unlike conventional loans that rely heavily on automated underwriting systems, this program is manually underwritten.
That allows for:
- Better understanding of complex income structures
- More flexibility with unique financial profiles
- A human review process — not just an algorithm
How This Compares to Traditional Bank Mortgages
| Feature | Traditional Mortgage | SWBC Medical Professionals Program |
| Down Payment | Often 3%–20%+ | Up to 100% financing available |
| Mortgage Insurance | Typically required at high LTV | No MI in eligible scenarios |
| Student Loans | Fully counted in DTI | May be excluded in certain cases |
| Income Qualification | Based on historical income | Employment contracts allowed |
| Underwriting | Automated (AUS) | Manual review |
Simply put: this program is built for your career — not against it.
What It Takes to Qualify
While the program offers flexibility, it still follows responsible lending practices and full documentation requirements.
Typical considerations include:
- Minimum credit score based on loan structure
- Full documentation of income, assets, and employment
- Valid Social Security number
- Verified medical degree and professional designation
Each borrower is evaluated individually based on a complete financial picture.
A Personal Note from Steve Furlong
“I’ve worked with a lot of medical professionals over the years — from residents buying their first home to experienced physicians relocating for new opportunities.
What I’ve learned is this: your financial story doesn’t look like everyone else’s — and it shouldn’t be treated that way.
That’s why I focus on programs like this one.
My job isn’t just to get a loan approved. It’s to help you understand your options, avoid costly mistakes, and structure a mortgage that actually supports your long-term goals.
If you’re in the medical field, I take that responsibility seriously — because I know how much you’ve invested to get where you are.”

Do I Qualify?
To qualify for a mortgage, lenders typically require that you have a debt-to-income ratio of “43/49.” This means that no more than 43% of your total monthly income (from all sources, before taxes) can go toward your new mortgage payment, and no more than 49.99% of your monthly income can go toward your total monthly debt (including your mortgage payment). VA and FHA loans even allow for higher debt ratios on a case by case basis.
