Buying After Match Day

Simple Timeline for Buying a Home Before Residency

If you are looking to buy a home before starting residency, the ideal time to start is while you are traveling for your interviews.  You will already be visiting the areas where you are hoping to match.  Even if you place in a city you are not expecting, you should have enough time to find a home in the three months between Match Day and your residency program’s orientation.

Real Estate for Doctors

Real Estate for DoctorsWe specialize in making the purchase of your home both affordable and manageable because we understand and cater to the specific needs and circumstances of medical residents and new doctors. With DMD, buying your first home doesn’t have to be hard, and it is definitely affordable through our Physician Loan Program that allows for 0% down payment mortgage loans.

This section of our site is designed to walk you through the process of buying a new home. Read through the pages linked in the left column and use our resources to help you with everything from deciding how much you can afford, to setting a timetable, to getting in contact with a trusted Real Estate Agent and browsing homes on the market.

Trying to buy a home as a physician can be an extremely daunting task. It takes time, commitment, and money… none of which are in great supply, especially if you’re a medical resident. But DMD Realty can help...

The situation for each and every doctor will be vastly different depending whether they are a recent graduate from medical school, are nearing the end of their residency, or they have been out of residency for a few years. Also, how much money is available for a down payment and the amount of your student debt can play a significant role in the type of mortgage that would be best suited to your economic situation.

If you are going into residency next year and you want to buy a home in the city where you match it is important to make sure everything is done on time because there will only be a few months from match day until your program orientation. It is a realistic goal and DMD can help you do it, but it is better to start as soon as possible. Check out our Match Day Timetable for more details.

If you are moving to the Chicago area, then one of DMD’s dedicated Real Estate Professionals can walk you through the process. If you are moving outside of the Chicago area contact us and we would be more than happy to refer you to one of the Realtors that we work with in the area you will be moving to.
