What makes a physician mortgage different
Physician programs ("doctor loans") are designed around the financial shape of a medical career. Compared with a conventional loan, the banks in our network commonly offer:
Low or no down payment, with some lenders financing up to 100% (varies by lender and degree)
No private mortgage insurance (PMI), even with less than 20% down
Student-loan-friendly underwriting, often using income-based payments rather than the full balance
Qualifying on a signed employment contract, before your first paycheck

What's different about buying in Georgia
Atlanta is the state's dominant market and a national healthcare employer base — home to Emory Healthcare, Piedmont, Wellstar, Northside, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, and Grady, plus the CDC. It's competitive and growing, but still relatively affordable for a major metro.
Augusta anchors a second hub around Augusta University Health, while Savannah and Macon offer lower-cost markets for doctors who prefer mid-size cities.
Georgia levies a state income tax, so factor your take-home pay when budgeting — use the mortgage calculator to model your full monthly payment including taxes and insurance, not just principal and interest.
Property taxes are moderate by national standards, and many Atlanta suburbs remain accessible to physician buyers compared with coastal metros.
In hot Atlanta submarkets, homes can move quickly — getting pre-approved through a physician program before you shop can make your offer more competitive.
Who qualifies in Georgia
Most physician programs are open to MD, DO, DDS/DMD, and DPM — and some extend to DVM and other advanced degrees — at the resident, fellow, and attending stages. Eligibility and terms vary by lender. Learn how physician loans work and which degrees qualify.

Georgia physician mortgage FAQ
Do doctors get better mortgage rates in Georgia?
Not automatically. The advantage is usually in the terms — no PMI, low or no down payment, and student-debt-friendly underwriting — more than a guaranteed lower rate. Rates vary by lender and profile, which is why comparing matters.
How do physician mortgage loans work?
A bank with a physician program lets eligible doctors finance a home with little or no money down and without PMI, often qualifying you on a signed contract and income-based student-loan payments. You're matched with a lender, get pre-approved, and shop with confidence.
Are physician loans 0% down in Georgia?
Some lenders offer up to 100% financing for eligible physicians; others ask for a small down payment. It depends on the lender, your degree, and the loan amount.
Who qualifies for a physician mortgage in Georgia?
Generally MD, DO, DDS/DMD, and DPM physicians — residents, fellows, and attendings — with some lenders including additional degrees. Each lender sets its own rules.
Can Georgia residents and fellows buy before they start work?
Often, yes — many programs let you close using a signed employment contract shortly before your start date. Common for doctors relocating to Georgia for residency or a new position at systems like Emory or Piedmont.
