First-Time Homebuyer Programs
Making the transition from renting to owning a home may seem difficult, but with M&T you can become a homeowner even if you have:
Little money saved - M&T offers low downpayment mortgage options, reducing the amount of cash savings needed to buy a home. We may even be able to help you finance your closing costs.
Less-than-perfect credit or no credit history - If your credit isn’t perfect, M&T can often find a mortgage that’s right for you. And, if you lack a credit history, we may be able to use “non-traditional” forms of credit including records of timely utility or rent payments.
Changed jobs recently - When buying a home, a steady income is more important than how long you’ve been in the same job.
Foreign citizenship – If you are a legal resident, you can likely purchase a home in the United States.
M&T’s First-Time homebuyer programs include:
M&T’s Get Started Mortgage
Buy a $100,000 home with just $1,000! Featuring a low 1% cash downpayment and financed closing costs, M&T’s Get Started Mortgage makes buying a home easier than ever. M&T’s Get Started Mortgage is available in select counties in New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia and Washington DC*
FHA Mortgages
A flexible, low downpayment financing solution. And with no maximum income limits, FHA mortgages are available to almost any homebuyer.
FHA 203 (K) MakeOver Mortgage
Buy and improve a home in one easy step. Featuring low downpayments and low closing costs, M&T’s MakeOver Mortgages combine purchase and home improvement financing in a single loan.
VA Mortgages-With no downpayment required, VA Mortgages offer special advantages to eligible veterans, reservists and active-duty personnel. Plus, sellers can help pay your closing costs.
