There aren’t any federal programs specifically designed for podiatrists interested in purchasing a home, but Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) can be an option for physicians with high student loan debt. PSLF will forgive the remaining balance of your Direct Loans who work full-time for a non-profit or government organization and have been on an income-driven repayment plan for at least 120 months. For physicians who don’t meet the criteria for PSLF, a physician home loan can help cut down on the initial purchase costs so you can continue making payments without sacrificing your dreams of homeownership.
