A portfolio loan is a mortgage loan that is held by a bank as an investment. This type of mortgage is held by that bank rather than being sold on the secondary market. The reason the banks hold this type of mortgage is due to the fact that the loan does not comply with the underwriting guidelines set by the secondary market investors.

Underwriting guidelines for a porfolio loan can be far more flexible than for a loan which is being sold to an investor in the secondary markets (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac …). This flexibility can often mean that the underwriter of the portfolio program can use a much more common sense approach when evaluating things such as credit, debt loads, lack of cash reserves, etc.

In general, the interest rates on the physician loan programs offered by our lenders are slightly higher than a traditional loan; these higher rates help offset the additional risk the bank takes on when you borrow 100%. Keep in mind that each lender’s loan program is different, and that interest rates change on a daily basis. It is best to discuss details like physician loan interest rates directly with the lender we refer you to.
