The FHA is the Federal Housing Administration, which is a federal agency in the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD); if your loan is an FHA loan, it means it is secured by them. The lending company takes care of all the loaned money - the FHA simply backs the transaction by providing mortgage insurance in case the borrower does not pay off his or her loan. The FHA and their loan programs are built to assist low-to-moderate income consumers by easing credit requirements. Remember, the FHA differs from the VA appraiser panel in that the lender can select the appraiser.

Down payments are often lower with an FHA loan despite using conventional market rates. Purchasers with lower incomes or less starting funds to put down on a mortgage benefit the most from FHA loan programs.
