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 loan is an FHA loan, it means it is secured by them. The lending organization provides all the loaned money; the FHA simply secures the transaction with mortgage insurance in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan. Applicable to all consumers, FHA loan programs are made to aid credit-worthy low-income and moderate-income families who do not have the qualifications for conventional loans. Down payments are often lower with an FHA loan despite using conventional market rates. The loan programs that the FHA provides are acutely useful to purchasers with less starting capital. |
