Kelowna General Hospital
Mortgage strategy for residents, fellows, and attendings at the interior's main teaching and referral centre. Built around UBC Okanagan training and the BC Property Transfer Tax.
Why KGH physicians need a different mortgage path.
Kelowna General Hospital is the main teaching and referral centre for the BC interior, affiliated with UBC Okanagan and Interior Health. Kelowna is meaningfully more attainable than Vancouver, but the BC Property Transfer Tax still applies and is worth modelling before an offer.
Built for how KGH physicians actually earn.
Your stage. Your structure.
Residents at KGH qualify on projected attending income with 5-10% down. At Kelowna prices around $800K, this is far more attainable than Vancouver while staying in BC.
Attending physicians at KGH commonly qualify for $1.5M+ on signed contracts before the first T4, with corporate income lifting capacity further.
Locum and part-time KGH physicians qualify through mixed-income programs accepting T4A plus invoice history.
Incorporated KGH physicians qualify on corporate revenue plus dividend history rather than personal T4 alone.
