-----
In this episode of Investing for Doctors, we are joined by Alissa Childs, co-founder of Two Birds One Loan, to break down why getting a home loan as a doctor is often more complex than it should be. We unpack how banks really assess doctors’ income, including PAYG roles with overtime, short-term ABN contracts, multiple employers, and parental leave gaps, and why many doctors are incorrectly told “no” by banks or non-specialist brokers.
We also explore practical case studies on short-term ABN lending, borrowing through trusts and SMSFs, and renegotiating high-interest rates that quietly cost doctors tens of thousands of dollars over time. This episode is a clear, practical guide for doctors who want to understand their true borrowing options and turn rejections into approvals.
