Explore the option of an M&T Home Starter Mortgage

  • Lower downpayment requirements and the ability to finance most of your closing costs
  • An affordable monthly payment with our competitive interest rates could mean a monthly payment lower than your current rent
  • Use "non-traditional" credit sources such as proof of timely rent payments, utility payments and others to compensate for the lack of credit history
  • A bi-weekly payment option could potentially save thousands of dollars in interest payments over the life of the loan
  • No borrower-paid mortgage insurance requirement

The Home Starter Mortgage is available in select counties in CT, DC, DE, NH, MA, ME, MD, NJ, NY, PA, WV, VA & VT.  There are no income limits in select areas.
