CLEVELAND, Oct. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Today, KeyBank (NYSE: KEY) announced new financing options for manufactured homes as a part of Key’s commitment to increasing affordable product offerings in the communities we serve. Loan options are available for purchase, as well as rate/term and cash-out refinances. To qualify, the manufactured home must:

• Be a multi-wide and permanently affixed to the ground;
• Be in eligible areas within KeyBank’s footprint (not available in NY, MA, CT, FL) and titled as real property;

“KeyBank is committed to reducing the barriers to homeownership through affordable lending products and services, educational support, and direct investment,” said Dale Baker, President of KeyBank Home Lending. “Owning a home is a foundational step to building a long-term investment strategy. These new manufactured home financing options are the next step KeyBank is taking to do our part in helping our clients achieve their dream of home ownership and move forward on their financial journey.”

Other support KeyBank offers to help make purchasing a home attainable includes:

• Affordable loan products and programs subject to income requirements, property location, or military status. Clients may be able to qualify for lending assistance, which will mitigate costs and allow them to put the money saved toward other necessities. Certain programs, like FHA loans or the Key Community Mortgage² are specifically designed for those who could benefit from a lower down payment.
  
  
• The KeyBank Home Buyer Credit^{® 3} and the KeyBank Neighbors First Credit^{SM 3} designed to help homebuyers of eligible properties based upon where the property is located. These programs provide a credit up to $5,000 to use for closing costs such as mortgage, flood and hazard insurance, escrow deposit, real estate taxes, and per diem interest.
  
  
• The Key Opportunities Home Equity Loan, which provides affordable terms for borrowers with qualifying properties to refinance their primary residence to a lower interest rate, consolidate debt, finance home improvements, or tap into their equity when needed. This loan features a fixed rate, with no origination fee, and a first or second lien option for loans up to $100,000.
  
  
• Online resources, such as the Mortgage Calculator and Mortgage Checklist on www.Key.com/Mortgage to help clients better understand their lending options and chart the best path forward. Additional resources, such as homebuyer education programs and seminars, are also available in certain areas.
