In this episode, we’re joined by Eloise Dooley, Director and Finance Broker at Two Birds One Loan, and the lending partner for the IFD Group. Eloise has helped hundreds of doctors navigate the complex world of commercial finance, from practice purchases to portfolio expansion, by teaching them how to borrow strategically and avoid unnecessary risk.

Eloise breaks down why most doctors get rejected for commercial property loans, how treating them like residential loans leads to missed approvals, higher interest rates or signing contracts without secured finance, and why your personal servicing position often plays a smaller role than you think.

She also explores the key differences between Full Doc and Lease Doc loans, how lender appetite changes based on asset type and location, and why your approval often depends on lease strength, deposit structure and the story you present.

If you want to avoid the most common lending mistakes doctors make, structure your next deal with confidence and protect your borrowing power for the long term, then make sure to listen to this episode.
