Most of the banks giving out medical school loans are saying that they'll cover the cost of education plus living expenses... but nobody really defines what "living expenses" really means. I'm planning on going to a relatively expensive city, so a decent apartment would cost me upwards of $1000 a month. Does anybody know of a good med school loan scheme that will allow me to borrow an extra $100k to buy a small apartment?
I'm already borrowing $150-200k anyway, so I figured that I might as well just get a little bit extra and own some property... the market is so cheap right now that I'm bound to at least get my investment back. The only problem is that I'd like to avoid having a job during med school, so I can't really get a mortgage. Student loans, on the other hand, are not a problem... I know that I'll have the money to pay it off when I'm a doctor, so I don't mind borrowing seemingly endless amounts of money.
