In this episode of the Investing for Doctors Podcast, we sit down with Alissa Childs from Two Birds One Loan to discuss how doctors can navigate lending and borrowing during major life changes, such as starting a family, returning to study or switching careers.
We talk about why being newly self-employed doesn’t have to ruin your chances of getting a loan, how specialist medical lending teams in banks can offer doctors more flexibility than standard brokers ever could, and the main reason many doctors wrongly believe they need two years of tax returns before they can borrow.
We also discuss how starting a family and parental leave can significantly impact your serviceability, the unexpected role of private school fees in determining your borrowing power, and MORE.
If you want to make smart, strategic lending decisions as a doctor, no matter what life throws at you, then make sure to listen to this episode!
