Medical focus

Built around the realities of residency.

We aren't a generic rental marketplace. Every part of Life Capital — our property network, our lease terms, our support hours — is tuned to international medical graduates.

Stethoscope-tested locations

Every listing is scored on commute time to its nearest teaching hospital — by car, transit, and on-call rideshare.

Visa-aware leasing

Flexible leases that respect J-1 and H-1B start dates, with guarantor options for trainees without U.S. credit history.

Shift-friendly support

Our concierge answers from 6 AM to midnight local time — built for residents post-call who can't wait on a 9-to-5 helpdesk.

Hospital partnerships

Direct relationships with residency coordinators mean we know program calendars, parking, and on-call distance limits.

For IMGs, by design

Multilingual support, international wire payments, and furniture packages curated for arrivals carrying two suitcases.

Wellbeing first

Quiet hours, blackout curtains, and proximity to grocery and green space are weighted in every match.
