Alissa Childs is back, and this time we're talking about what we've been building together at IFD Lending, our in-house mortgage broking business made for doctors. After 12 months of working with doctors from the group week in and week out, Alissa explains why medical lending is in its own category, and why so many branch lenders get it wrong.

Doctors rarely have one simple payslip. A locum here, VMO work there, 0.8 in a hospital and ABN income turning over six figures a quarter, all sitting in one application. We get into how banks look at PAYG, ABN and VMO income differently, the medico lending teams that even some bank staff don't know about, how to borrow before your new income hits a tax return, and why short term ABN income is the hardest deal to get over the line.

Then we get to the part that could save you thousands. Alissa walks through Beat Your Rates, where IFD Lending goes to your current bank and asks for a lower rate on your behalf, why every loan they write gets repriced every six months, the SMSF and commercial loans that quietly creep up in the background, and the client who spent 20 years paying 9% on $2.5 million before moving to 6% and saving $3,000 to $4,000 a month.

If you haven't looked at your rate in a while, this is your reminder. Five basis points on a $2 million loan adds up fast.
