Today we are answering your questions. We talk about capital gains taxes when selling a vacation home, then get into the age old debate about if it is a good idea to buy a house during residency. Dr. Dahle gives advice on things to think about when you are shopping for a new car, then he gives ideas for things to think about when considering buying into a practice. Finally, we answer a few questions about taxes.

At some point in our financial lives, it will be time to buy a home. A physician mortgage can be a good vehicle for a young doctor who’s just out of school and has a more effective place to use their money than on a big down payment. These loans allow doctors to secure a mortgage with fewer restrictions and a lower down payment than a conventional mortgage. But if you’re further advanced in your career or deeper into your journey to financial freedom, buying a home with a conventional mortgage and then, later on, potentially refinancing that loan to a better rate with a shorter time frame could be a great move. Wherever you are in your financial journey, make sure you use the mortgage that will be most financially beneficial for you.
