Coffee & Contacts: Employer breach on minimum number of shifts

In this message, Jon from Contract Diagnostics shares a situation where a physician has relocated for a job that promised a minimum of 14 shifts per month. However, the employer is now only scheduling the physician for seven to eight shifts per month, causing a significant decrease in their expected income. Jon emphasizes that it is important for physicians to hold employers accountable for the terms stated in their contracts. He advises the physician to communicate with the employer, presenting the contract that guarantees a minimum number of shifts and addressing the discrepancy. Jon also offers assistance and referral to a local attorney if necessary, reaffirming the commitment of Contract Diagnostics to guide physicians in contract-related matters. He encourages physicians not to remain passive and to assert their rights in such situations. LINK: www.ContractDiagnostics.com

Mortgage Minute: If I buy a home that needs repairs or my new construction is not complete, can I escrow for these things?

The short answer is no except for sod or weather-related items such as sprinklers. Sometimes realtors will write a contract that states you want to escrow for a roof that needs repaired or the counter tops haven't been installed yet, but the banks no longer allow for this. The bank is writing a loan for a "completed house." They don't allow you to escrow for future items to be completed.

Mortgage Minute: Can you have more than one physician loan at a time?

Depending on the bank, likely yes but with caveats. Most banks require that you have equity (20%+) in the first home or money down on the second home. They cannot be used as investment property loans. You also cannot have three homes financed at one time to qualify for the second physician mortgage. Each bank has its own rules, but these are fairly common amongst banks that allow two physician loans.
