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-secured loan, it means it is underwritten by them. The lending organization takes care of all the funds being borrowed - the FHA simply insures the loan with mortgage insurance in case the borrower does not pay off his or her loan. Low-income and moderate-income consumers benefit the most from FHA-secured loan programs. The point of the Federal Housing Administration is to aid credit-worthy potential buyers get approved for mortgages that they otherwise would not. Remember, the FHA is different from the VA appraiser panel in that the lending organization can choose the appraisal company.

The rates on FHA loans are generally market rates, while down payment requirements are lower than for conventional loans. The loan programs that the Federal Housing Administration provides are invaluable to purchasers with less starting capital.
