--- Tom Troiano - Atlantic City, NJ
He's nothing short of a miracle!
I'm a self-employed businessman and had him figure out the mortgage of the house after 30% down payment. The interest rates I received were incredibly low given what I had thought of earlier. One other important thing to note was that I hadn't really taken any loans earlier, so I had no credit history. He helped me out with all that as well so I can't really call him anything else but a miracle.
--- Fran Suarez - Cleveland, OH

I made a bid to him and the very same day he gave me an offer which I couldn't resist. It was too intimidating with those incredibly low interest rates and all, thoroughly recommend him.

Bill made us feel like a friend all the way thru the process. He was patient and explained everything he needed clearly. He was available ANYTIME we had questions or needed more information. Hopefully we won’t go thru this process again anytime soon, but if we do - we’d choose Bill! =)
--- Barbra & Nick Grimmer - Austin, TX
Great broker!
Bill was a great broker to work with. As first time home buyers we had many questions about the process, Bill took the time to help us even calling us back on weekends with answers. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a broker to work with.
--- Murray & Lisa Turner - Pensacola, FL
Outstanding service!
I couldn't have been more pleased with Bill's level of service. He made what is typically a lengthy, arduous process far quicker and easier at every turn. I'm extremely comfortable recommending Bill to friends and family, and will definitely utilize his services again!

9 Things Every Dentist & Doctor Should Know About Mortgages
Brew up a great cup of coffee, pull out your notepads, iPads, MacBooks or whatever you prefer to take notes with—this post is epic and contains everything you ever wanted to know about physician loans. More importantly, you’ll find step-by-step information on how to research, compare banks and negotiate to get the best mortgage rates. Let’s go!
1. Physician Loans: A History Lesson
Special mortgage products for doctors are not new, but when you compare them with the modern mortgage market (popularized by insurance companies—not banks—in the 1930’s), they are relatively new products that have yet to make their way into the mainstream.
Sometime in the mid-2000’s, a forward-thinking employee at Bank of America (let’s call him Steve) honed in on an interesting strategy for attracting wealthy—or soon to be wealthy—clients to the bank.
Every single year, over 16,000 fresh-faced medical school grads were being matched to their residency/fellowship programs all over the United States. The majority of these new graduates had massive student loans. In fact, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges, the average medical student in 2015 will amass over $183,000 in debt. That figure is up 2% over 2014. If you look at this situation through a traditional lens, you understand why a recent graduate would never qualify for a traditional mortgage loan: too much debt and zero income history.
Most of these students also emerged into their adult life with the preconceived notion that renting an apartment or home is not a good idea. They would prefer to purchase a home, but can’t. Finally, Steve discovered that MDs have one of the lowest default rates (.02%) of any demographic, so it was relatively safe to lend them money.
That perfect storm created the doctor loan program.
Being an astute strategist and looking to add value to the bottom line, Steve brought this idea to the upper brass at the bank in Charlotte. It took a few months to consider the strategy, vet it out and get it approved. But once implemented, the program was hugely successful. It filled a much-needed void, so the bank generated millions and millions of dollars of new revenue by originating physician loans.
Competing banks took notice. They soon carved out similar doctor loan programs, complete with unique benefits, rates, and states where a resident could purchase a new home.
Now that we understand the history and how we got here, let’s take a look at what these loans look like in general.
2. A physician loan…
Requires you to invest very little money down for a down payment, usually zero to five percent of the total purchase price.
Accepts your residency/fellowship/employment contract as proof of how much money you will be making in the future. Usually, conventional mortgage underwriters look backward at your earning history in efforts to determine if you’ll be able to afford your monthly payment and not default.
Might call on you to open an account with the originating bank. Typically, they’ll need you to set up an auto-draft for your monthly payment, which lowers the risk of default. Forcing you to open an account is also a way for the bank to ensure you’ll be doing business other than your physician loan with them, with the hopes of converting you into a lifetime customer.
May be used by a resident or practicing physician. This is the case at 90% of the banks that offer physician loans. Make sure you inquire as soon as you can about this important distinction.Can be used on most property types (single family and townhomes), but in certain cities and regions, you may not be eligible to purchase a condo with a physician mortgage.
Does not distinguish between a conventional mortgage loan and a jumbo loan. Most banks will charge higher rates and fees on anything over $417,000, which is considered a riskier product, thus the name “jumbo”. A point of note: not all banks that offer the doctor loan program offer jumbo loans.
In some cases, lending guidelines may allow you to use money you receive as a gift for a down payment, cash reserves or miscellaneous closing costs.
Requires you to have decent credit. Typically, you need to be in the neighborhood of 700-720+. If you have scores that are over 800, congratulations. You’re in a different league, and the absolute best rates and terms for physician loans will be available to you.
Mandates that you have a loan payment to income ratio of less than 38%, which means your monthly payment can’t equate to more than 38% of your income. This can vary with lenders, though, and is something you should ask about for when interviewing different banks.
Let’s move on to the other mortgage type so you can easily compare the two.
3. Conventional conforming loans…
Require 3% to 5% down. For reference, 3% of a $200,000 loan would be $6,000. That is just what it takes to get in the door and qualify for the mortgage. This does not include any fees or percentages you’ll pay your Realtor.
Require PMI (private mortgage insurance) if you don’t put 20% down or have 20% equity in the home.
Allow you to qualify with a credit score of 580 or above.
Require three months of cash in reserve that could cover PITI (principal, interest, taxes and insurance) payments on the loan.
Require proof of earnings history (W-2 forms, bank statements, and/or pay stubs). If you’re self-employed, you’ll need to present two years of previous tax returns.
Use any debt (consumer, student, etc.) as factors in your debt-to-income ratios.
Require a debt-to-income ratio of 45% to 55%. This just means your debts can’t equate to more than 45% to 55% of your income.
Allow you to purchase condominiums in most markets.
Here comes the but…keep in mind not all banks can loan in every one of these areas, and each bank’s doctor loan program will be unique in each state. Some banks even vary rates and terms based on the particular city.
Caliber Home Loans makes Doctor loans in all 50 states.
4. These are your options :
There are many alternatives to physician loans. Let’s take a look at the main ones:
Conventional Mortgages – These are your typical mortgages, and encompass anything that isn’t part of a specific government loan or special program. They come in many flavors: 30, 20, 15 and 10 year fixed rate or 5/1, 7/1 and 10/1 adjustable rate mortgages (ARM). If you put at least 20% down, you’ll get a better interest rate and will not have to pay mortgage insurance. This is a good idea if you have the cash.
Many banks offer options for you to pay less than 20% down. The disadvantage of putting less money down are higher rates. If you’re not able to put 20% down, the bank will require you to pay PMI.
As of September 2016, you’ll have to put down at least 3% for this type of loan. Before the 2008 financial meltdown, there were many programs available that offered borrowers 100% financing. Those options have disappeared, many say with good reason.
FHA Loans – These loans are administered and regulated by the Federal Housing Authority. They allow for lower credit scores than conventional loans and require as little as 3.5% down. They also require private mortgage insurance (PMI) on all loans.
VA Loans – This program was created for US Military veterans and are guaranteed by the VA. They do not require a down payment or PMI, but there is an upfront fee (1.5% – 2% depending on your down payment) with most loans.
USDA Loans – Offered to rural, low-income borrowers, these mortgages require zero money down, are often cheaper than going the FHA route. They are sponsored and administered by the US Department of Agriculture and do require PMI.
State and Local Programs – These programs aim to help low to moderate income buyers purchase a home. Some are aimed at certain professions like teachers, firefighters and police officers. You can find out more and see if there is something available for doctors here. The last time I checked, there was not.
5. How to compare banks and their mortgages
It may seem like a daunting task, but putting the time into up-front research is well worth the end result. For example, on a $300,000 30-year fixed rate mortgage, reducing your interest rate by just .25% will save you almost $16,000 in interest payments over the life of your mortgage.

6. How mortgage rates are determined by banks
Before we get into negotiating rates, it’s helpful to understand how banks come up with the rates they charge borrowers for their home loans. This is a fascinating, complicated process. It’s not possible to say that interest rates are tied to one particular index, economic factor or governing body. It is possible to say that banks want to be as competitive as possible and at the same time as profitable as possible. This leads to the very strategic game that is determining their rates.
Things that influence rates include: the secondary mortgage market (how much investors are willing to pay for vast tranches—which are packaged bundles—of loans that are packaged up and sold as mortgage-backed securities), inflation rates, the price of US Treasuries, the LIBOR Bank rate and the Federal Reserve funds rate.
7. Finding the perfect home
There are many guides online that can help you define what will make the perfect home for you. HTGV, Forbes, and Houzz have put together some nice ones. Do this first, because it’s important to narrow your possibilities and focus on homes that fit your criteria.
Once you know what you’re looking for, be prepared to do a lot of virtual house-hunting. Things have changed a lot since your parents drove around with their Realtor to look at every single house they were interested in. Be very glad about that.
8. Buying a house isn’t a good idea for everyone
Let’s be honest. Sometimes, it just makes more sense to rent. If you’re not sure about where you’ll be in three years, rent. If you think you’re in a declining market, and there’s a possibility that home prices will decrease, rent. We’ve come up with a guide to help you weigh these factors: Getting a Physician Loan vs. Renting. The New York Times also put together a great interactive article called Is it Better to Rent or Buy?
In many cases, it makes more sense to buy. From a financial and psychological perspective, the benefits of homeownership are pretty compelling.
If you are saddled with consumer debt and/or excessive student loans, you also might want to pay off some of those debts before purchasing real estate, even with a physician mortgage loan. It all depends on the interest rates and terms. Check out this post on debt from Future Proof M.D. for more info and a few options.
Think about it and choose the path that is right for you.
9. You need to educate yourself
Our physician mortgage loan FAQ will answer more of your burning questions about physician loans specifically, but it’s critical you learn as much as you can about the finance and home buying process. This is the biggest purchase you’ll ever make, and it pays dividends to know what you’re doing. At least know the basics. You’ll probably buy another house in your lifetime, and you can continue to build on your home buying knowledge with every purchase.
Heck. You may even be able to pass this knowledge down to your friends, family or children one day. It’s important stuff.
Please comment below and let me know if there are other things you’d like to know. If you spot any mistakes, point them out, and I’ll correct them.

Is It Time to Change Mortgage Companies? 10 Questions Every Loan Officer Should Ask
By Bill Rapp Jr. | Director of Capital Advisory | Medallion Funds
Are you working harder than ever as a mortgage loan officer but wondering whether your current company is helping you reach your full potential?
Maybe your compensation isn't competitive. Perhaps your lender options are limited, your processing department is overwhelmed, or you're spending more time managing operational problems than generating new business.
Or maybe you've simply outgrown your current mortgage company.
Choosing the right mortgage company can be one of the most important business decisions a loan officer makes.
Whether you're working for a bank, retail mortgage lender, correspondent lender, or independent mortgage brokerage, the platform you choose directly influences your earning potential, client experience, product availability, and long-term growth.
At Medallion Funds, we believe successful loan officers need more than a place to originate loans. They need competitive compensation, meaningful operational support, strong lender relationships, and the freedom to build a sustainable business.
Before making your next career move, ask yourself these 10 questions.
1. Is My Mortgage Loan Officer Compensation Competitive?
Compensation is often the first reason loan officers consider changing mortgage companies.
But the highest advertised commission split doesn't necessarily translate into the highest take-home income.
Evaluate your total compensation structure, including commission splits, basis-point payouts, transaction fees, technology costs, marketing expenses, and other applicable deductions.
Consider this example:
Compensation factor | Company A | Company B |
Annual funded volume | $12 million | $12 million |
Illustrative gross production compensation | 100 bps | 100 bps |
Illustrative LO payout | 50% | 65% |
Annual LO compensation | $60,000 | $78,000 |
Hypothetical illustration only. Actual compensation depends on company policies, loan economics, applicable law, fees, and individual agreements. Not a Medallion Funds compensation quote.
That's an $18,000 difference before considering additional expenses.
Ask yourself: Am I evaluating the complete economics of my compensation, or only the advertised split?
2. Does My Company Offer Enough Mortgage Loan Programs?
One of the biggest frustrations for productive mortgage loan officers is having to turn away borrowers because their company lacks the appropriate lending program.
Today's borrowers have increasingly diverse financial profiles.
A competitive mortgage brokerage should provide access to a broad range of financing options, potentially including:
·Conventional, FHA, VA, and USDA loans
·Jumbo mortgage programs
·Doctor and dentist mortgage loans
·Non-QM and bank statement mortgages
·DSCR investor loans
·Asset-utilization mortgage programs
·HELOC and renovation financing
·Commercial real estate and SBA financing through appropriate lending channels
Product availability, eligibility, and licensing vary.
A broader lender network may allow you to serve more borrowers without sending viable opportunities to competitors.
Ask yourself: How many qualified borrowers have I lost because my current company didn't offer the right financing solution?
3. Am I Getting the Processing and Operational Support I Need?
Your income depends on closing loans, not chasing conditions all day.
A strong mortgage company should provide reliable processing, responsive communication, clearly defined responsibilities, and a consistent closing process.
When evaluating a potential new mortgage brokerage, ask about:
·In-house versus outsourced processing
·Processor workloads and escalation procedures
·Underwriting communication
·Average turn times by loan type
·Closing coordination and post-closing support
A better-supported loan officer can devote more time to prospecting, developing referral relationships, and serving clients.
Ask yourself: Is my company helping me originate more loans, or forcing me to manage every detail myself?
4. Is My Mortgage Technology Helping or Hurting My Productivity?
Technology should simplify mortgage origination, not complicate it.
Modern loan officers need efficient systems for borrower communication, document collection, pipeline tracking, and referral partner management.
Look for a platform that includes a customer relationship management system (CRM), loan origination tools, secure document management, automated follow-up, and marketing capabilities.
Medallion Funds emphasizes technology and CRM resources as part of its loan officer platform.
Ask yourself: Does my current technology make me more productive, or am I losing valuable time to disconnected systems?
5. Does My Company Help Me Build My Personal Brand?
Successful mortgage loan officers don't simply originate transactions. They build relationships and reputations that generate repeat business.
Your mortgage company should support your ability to establish a recognizable professional brand.
That can include social media marketing, educational video content, referral partner outreach, digital lead nurturing, and co-marketing opportunities that comply with applicable advertising and referral rules.
A loan officer who builds a strong personal brand becomes less dependent on company-generated leads.
Ask yourself: Am I building a business that I control, or relying entirely on my company's marketing?
6. Can I Offer Both Residential and Commercial Financing Solutions?
This is an often-overlooked opportunity for mortgage professionals.
Imagine helping a self-employed borrower purchase a home today, then discovering that the same client needs financing to acquire an office building, purchase a medical practice property, or refinance an investment asset.
At many mortgage companies, those commercial financing opportunities are referred elsewhere.
Medallion Funds combines residential mortgage capabilities with access to commercial real estate financing resources.
For appropriately qualified opportunities, this creates the potential to develop relationships with investors, business owners, doctors, dentists, and commercial property owners.
Commercial transactions require different underwriting, licensing considerations, and compensation arrangements.
Ask yourself: Am I maximizing the long-term value of my client relationships, or missing opportunities beyond residential mortgages?
7. Does My Company Provide Training and Professional Development?
Mortgage guidelines, investor overlays, loan products, and market conditions continually evolve.
Loan officers need ongoing education to remain competitive.
The right mortgage brokerage should help you understand complex lending programs, strengthen borrower qualification skills, develop referral networks, and improve your business development strategy.
Training is particularly valuable when transitioning from retail lending to the mortgage broker model.
Ask yourself: Is my company investing in my professional development, or am I expected to figure everything out on my own?
8. Do I Have the Flexibility to Run My Business Effectively?
Experienced mortgage loan officers often value independence.
They want the ability to build their own referral relationships, manage their pipeline, market their services, and pursue the borrower segments that fit their expertise.
However, flexibility must operate within company policies, licensing requirements, investor guidelines, and applicable regulations.
A strong brokerage balances entrepreneurial opportunity with effective compliance oversight.
Ask yourself: Does my current mortgage company support my business strategy, or unnecessarily restrict how I grow?
9. Is Leadership Accessible and Invested in My Success?
Company culture can have a significant impact on a loan officer's long-term satisfaction.
When a complicated transaction arises, can you reach someone who understands lending and can help solve the problem?
When you identify a new market opportunity, does leadership listen?
When business slows, does the organization offer practical support?
At Medallion Funds, our philosophy is centered on helping mortgage professionals build sustainable businesses through lending resources, operational support, and relationships.
Ask yourself: Am I treated like a valued business partner or simply another production number?
10. Where Will I Be in Three to Five Years If I Stay?
This may be the most important question of all.
Imagine staying with your current mortgage company for another three years.
Will you have increased your annual funded volume? Developed stronger referral relationships? Expanded your product knowledge? Built a recognizable brand? Improved your earnings and operational efficiency?
If you cannot identify a realistic path toward those outcomes, it may be time to evaluate other mortgage companies.
Changing mortgage companies should not be an emotional reaction to a difficult month.
It should be a deliberate business decision based on your professional goals and the resources available to help you achieve them.
Ask yourself: Is my current company the right platform for the business I want to build?
When Should a Loan Officer Consider Changing Mortgage Companies?
Not every frustration means you should immediately leave.
However, several persistent warning signs deserve attention: limited loan products, uncompetitive net compensation, recurring processing problems, inadequate technology, weak leadership communication, and a lack of professional growth opportunities.
Before changing companies, compare written compensation agreements, licensing requirements, transition procedures, pipeline treatment, client communication responsibilities, and any contractual restrictions.
The goal isn't simply to find a new company.
The goal is to find a better platform for your long-term success.
Why Consider Medallion Funds?
Medallion Funds offers mortgage professionals an opportunity to explore a brokerage environment focused on lending flexibility, business development, and operational support.
Our platform includes access to multiple mortgage product categories, CRM resources, in-house processing capabilities, and commercial financing opportunities.
For experienced, self-generating loan officers, the ability to combine residential and commercial lending relationships can provide a meaningful point of differentiation.
Individual compensation terms, support arrangements, product access, and eligibility should always be confirmed during the recruiting process.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it worth switching mortgage companies for a higher commission split?
Possibly, but compare net earnings after all fees and expenses. Also evaluate operational support, lender access, pricing, and closing performance.
Is a mortgage broker better than a retail mortgage lender?
Neither model is automatically better. A mortgage brokerage may offer broader lender access and more flexibility, while retail lenders may offer different operational resources or lead-generation structures.
Can a loan officer move from a bank to a mortgage brokerage?
Yes, subject to applicable licensing, registration, employment, and transition requirements. State-licensed mortgage loan originators generally have different requirements from certain federally registered bank loan originators.
What happens to my pipeline when I change mortgage companies?
Pipeline treatment depends on employment agreements, company policies, borrower authorization, lender requirements, and applicable law. Review these details before resigning.
What should I ask a mortgage company before joining?
Request clear information about compensation, lender access, processing, technology, marketing, compliance, leadership, and long-term growth opportunities.
Final Thoughts: Your Mortgage Career Deserves the Right Platform
You work hard to build relationships, earn referrals, qualify borrowers, and close loans.
Your mortgage company should provide the resources and support necessary to help that effort translate into sustainable success.
If you've been questioning whether your current mortgage company is still the right fit, consider having a confidential conversation about your options.
