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 loan is an FHA-secured loan, it means it is backed by them. The FHA does not provide funds to borrowers, rather, it provides lenders with protection by offering mortgage insurance in case the borrower defaults on his or her financial obligations. The FHA and their loan programs are built to assist low-to-moderate income buyers help meet credit qualifications if they otherwise would not. The rates on FHA loans are generally market rates, while down payment requirements are lower than for conventional loans. Buyers with lower income or less starting money to use as a down-payment on a mortgage are assisted the most from FHA loan programs. |
