What is PMI?
Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) protects the lender (not you) if you default on your mortgage. Conventional mortgages require PMI when your down payment is less than 20%. PMI typically costs 0.5-1% of the loan amount annually and is removed after 11 years (when you've paid enough of the loan to own 20% of your home).
Why Physician Mortgages Don't Require PMI:
Physicians have extremely low default rates (~0.2% vs 1.2-4% general population), high stable income, and strong employment prospects. Lenders consider physicians low-risk borrowers even at 0% down payment, so they waive PMI requirements.
