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 loan, it means it is underwritten by them. The FHA does not loan money to borrowers, rather, it provides lending agencies with protection through mortgage insurance in case the borrower does not pay his or her financial obligations. Low-income and moderate-income homebuyers benefit from an FHA-insured loan; the point of the Federal Housing Administration is to assist credit-worthy buyers to meet expectations and requirements for lending organizations that they otherwise would not. Typically, a buyer has to pay less of a down payment on an FHA-insured loan, while the rates remain standard market rates. FHA loan programs are extremely helpful to those buyers with less available funding. |
