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 loan, it means it is insured by them. The FHA does not loan money to borrowers, rather, it provides lending agencies with protection with mortgage insurance in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan obligations. Low-income and moderate-income homebuyers benefit from an FHA-backed loan; the point of the Federal Housing Administration is to cooperate with credit-worthy buyers to meet expectations and necessities for lenders that they otherwise would not. The rates on FHA loans are generally market rates, while down payment requirements are lower than for conventional loans. Consumers with lesser income or less starting money to put down on a mortgage are helped the most from Federal Housing Administration loan programs. |
