The FHA is the Federal Housing Administration, which is a federal organization in the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD); if your financial transaction is an FHA loan, it means it is insured by them. The lending company takes care of all the money in the loan - the FHA simply insures 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 formed to aid low-to-moderate income purchasers by easing credit qualifications. Remember that the lending agency approving a loan associated with the Federal Housing Administration is able to pick their appraisers, different from VA appraisal panel.

The rates on FHA loans are generally market rates, while down payment requirements are lower than for conventional loans. Purchasers with lower incomes or less starting funds to put down on a loan are helped the most from Federal Housing Administration loan programs.
