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 financial transaction is an FHA-secured loan, it means it is insured by them. No part of the loan is provided by the FHA; what the FHA does is ensure that the mortgage is paid for in case the borrower doesn't pay their loan. Low-income and moderate-income consumers benefit from an FHA-secured loan; the point of the Federal Housing Administration is to help credit-worthy consumers to meet expectations and necessities for lending agencies that they otherwise would not. The rates on FHA loans are generally market rates, while down payment requirements are lower than for conventional loans. FHA loan programs are extremely helpful to those buyers with less accessible starting capital. |
