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 provides all the financing - the FHA simply backs the loan by providing mortgage insurance in case the borrower does not pay off his or her loan. The FHA and their loan programs are created to help low-to-moderate income consumers by easing credit qualifications. Remember, the FHA differs from the VA appraiser panel in that the lender can pick the appraiser.

Typically, a buyer has to pay less of a down payment on an FHA-insured loan, while the rates remain standard market rates. The loan programs that the FHA offers are lifesavers to buyers with minimal starting income.
