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-insured loan, it means it is secured by them. The lending company takes care of all the finances; the FHA simply backs the transaction by providing mortgage insurance in case the borrower does not pay off his or her loan. Accessible to all purchasers, FHA loan programs are made to help credit-worthy low-income and moderate-income families who do not meet requirements for conventional loans. Down payments are often lower with an FHA loan despite using conventional market rates. Consumers with lower income or less starting funds to put down on a mortgage are helped the most from FHA loan programs. |
