Lenders are always cautious about who they approve for mortgages. So, when someone with a frequent, stable and high income such as a medical professional exists, they will do all they can to entice these types of lenders as they can feel comfortable in the repayment of these loans.

Increased Loan to Value Ratio
Bankers consider borrowers by assessing the risk that they present through their repayment capabilities. Medical professionals are more trusted lenders in regard to repayments. Therefore, you can borrow up to 90% of the value of your property. In some circumstances such as if you are a specialist or self-employed, you could even borrow 100% of the property’s value in unsecured funds against your income. Meaning you won’t have to provide as much cash up front towards the new place. A discussion with a mortgage broker will help you establish what percentage you can afford to borrow and reasonably pay off.
Lenders Mortgage Insurance Waiver
Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) is a way for the lender too protect themselves in the event that a mortgage cannot be paid back and can mean thousands of dollars in upfront costs for the borrower. LMI tends to be required for loans valued at 80% of the property value or more. Given that medical professionals are considered lower risk and are likely to be able to borrow such a high percentage of the value of the home, LMI would be prominent. However, a selected number of banks offer a waiver of this insurance for medical professionals. Taking advantage of this service could save you thousands of dollars.
