Any residents out there have any experiences with ‘good’ loans during residency?

Doh.... (from collegeloan.com):

“Important Message

Due to the credit crisis, College Loan Corporation is not currently funding student loans. We are working diligently to secure new financing.”

So much for the bailout billions.

There is always the Army.  They’ll pay you $65K on top of your resident salary.  Sure you’ll owe time, but making $100K as a resident ain’t bad.

if your question is about ‘student’ loans, you can always defer/forebear your loans, accepting that interest will compound.

some places add student loan payback (at least in part) to the signing package when you’re looking for your first job. These are usually private practice jobs. i haven’t run across an academic place that will pay back any of your student loans as part of your job contract.

if you’re talking about other loans, you might ask your graduate medical education office at your institution. ours routinely has postings about home loans for residents.

if you’re talking about car loans, as long as you’re not actively in school loan repayment, you should qualify for a car loan w/o too much difficulty. alternatively, you could lease if you have ~2k to put down.

good luck!

Anyone have any experience with these “physician mortgage” companies that offer no downpayment and huge mortgage amounts to residents? Are they legit?
