Congratulations!  You have been matched with the University of Wisconsin!  All your hard work has paid off, and you are beginning a grand new adventure.

But adventures can be a lot of work, and there are a lot of big changes and challenges ahead.  Finding a place to call home for the next few years can be daunting, whether you are looking to buy or you just want to rent.  Whether you are looking to become a homeowner, or you are rentally-minded, here is a great list of resources for you!

Enjoy the next stages in your journey, and again, congratulations!

An ever-growing number of Residents and Fellows are choosing to purchase homes for the duration of their stay in Madison.  With a minimum of three to five years’ commitment, the tax breaks and favorable loan rates might make home ownership the right choice.

Single family homes are a popular choice, but duplexes, condos, and townhomes are all rapidly gaining in popularity for the low maintenance lifestyle that they offer.  The ability to own a home while someone else cares for the lawn and removes the snow is highly desirable.  

i am happy to sit down with you to discuss your options and what might be your best option.  I can also put you in touch with local lenders who have physician loan programs that cover Residents, too.  These programs offer attractive rates, low to no down payment, and in some cases, no PMI. 

If renting is more your vibe, the Madison area offers many wonderful options that will fit your busy life.  Whether the ability to ride a bus is important, or you want to be a bit out of the hustle and bustle, the links below offer myriad options.  

If you have pets, make sure any potential landlords will welcome Fido and Fluffy into your new digs!  Some apartments are more pet friendly than others.
