Dr. Jim Dahle of the White Coat Investor
About this episode

There is value in persistence. Even if you do not have the highest income, if you persistently save a significant percentage of it and invest it in a reasonable way, eventually it grows to be quite a sum of money, and you will free from the need to work for your money. A typical rule for financial independence is when you can live on 4% of your nest egg. Learn how to reach financial independence and retire early here: https://www.whitecoatinvestor.com/the-fire-movement/ 

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. Hop over to our recommended tab to learn more about all of your mortgage and refinancing options at https://www.whitecoatinvestor.com/mortgage. You can do this and The White Coat Investor can help.
