Refinancing an Existing Doctor’s Loan in Los Angeles
Many LA physicians refinance after their income rises, residency ends, or they want better terms. A doctor loan refinance can reduce payments, switch from an ARM to a fixed rate, or unlock home equity — all with physician-adaptive underwriting.

- Lower rates with stronger income
- Switch ARM → fixed
- Cash-out for renovations or investments
- Portfolio jumbo flexibility
- Better student loan treatment
How the Process Works
- Rate comparison + pricing analysis
- Updated income and asset review
- Student loan recalculation under physician rules
- Choose rate-term vs cash-out
- Fast, streamlined closing
Who Should Consider Refinancing?
You may benefit if:
- Your income increased
- Your ARM reset is approaching
- You want to tap equity
- You purchased with minimal down
- Rates have improved
