As alluded to above, one of the primary advantages of choosing a physician home loan is that it’s generally a low-interest loan with lots of different options. Of course, specifics vary a bit from lender to lender, but most physician home loans have 10, 15, 20, and 30 year fixed rate mortgages available, or even 3/1, 5/1, 7/1, and 10/1 ARM loans too.
