An FHA loan is insured by the Federal Housing Administration, a federal organization within the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The lender takes care of all the finances; the FHA simply backs the transaction with mortgage insurance in case the borrower does not pay off his or her loan. Accessible to all consumers, FHA loan programs are created to help 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. FHA loan programs are particularly beneficial to those consumers with less available funding. |
