Physician & Doctor Loans in Tampa Bay, FL

Physician loan programs are built around a simple reality: a doctor with an employment contract and $300,000 of student debt is not a credit risk in the way a conventional underwriter would score them. Golf Phuphanich places physician and professional loans across Tampa Bay for residents, fellows, and attending physicians at Tampa General, Moffitt, AdventHealth, BayCare, and USF Health.

What is a physician loan?

A specialty mortgage for medical professionals that allows low or no down payment without mortgage insurance, treats student loan debt more favorably, and can use a signed employment contract as qualifying income.

Often yes. Many programs are specifically designed for residents and fellows, using the executed contract rather than pay history.

Not necessarily. Eligible designations commonly include MD, DO, DDS, DMD, and DVM, and some lenders extend programs to PAs, NPs, and CRNAs. It varies by lender.

No. Sometimes conventional with 20% down is cheaper, especially if you have savings and modest student debt. The comparison is worth running rather than assuming.

Golf works with physicians across Tampa General, Moffitt Cancer Center, AdventHealth, BayCare, and USF Health, plus private practices throughout Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas counties.

How Physician Loans Work

Low or no down payment without mortgage insurance

Many physician programs allow high loan-to-value financing with no monthly mortgage insurance — a combination not available on standard conventional loans.

Student loan debt treated differently

Deferred or income-driven student loan payments are often excluded or calculated favorably, which is usually the single biggest factor in whether a resident qualifies at all.

Future income counted

An executed employment contract with a start date can frequently be used to qualify before your first paycheck arrives — useful when you are relocating to Tampa for a new position.

Who qualifies

Program eligibility varies by lender and typically covers MD, DO, DDS, DMD, DVM, and in some cases PA, NP, CRNA, and other advanced practice designations. Because eligibility differs lender to lender, this is a product where shopping matters.
