Urology mortgages, done right.

Urology is a high-earning surgical specialty with strong procedural income, almost always incorporated. Corporate qualification is the key.

The short answer

On the physician program's projected income of $300,000 for urologists in the final year of training and the first 36 months of practice, the debt-service ratios allow roughly $1,710,000 with 20% down and no student debt, or about $1,400,000 with 10% down and $150,000 of student debt. Established urologists qualify on actual income, and incorporated urologists on corporate income, which is usually higher.

High capacity
Strong income supports large, often conventional, purchases.

Incorporation and your qualification.

Incorporated urologists are underqualified on personal T4 alone. Corporate-income programs read corporate revenue and dividends, typically lifting capacity by 50-80%.
