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 financial transaction is an FHA loan, it means it is backed by them. The FHA does not loan capital 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 purpose of the Federal Housing Administration is to help credit-worthy buyers to meet expectations and qualifications 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. The loan programs that the FHA offers are extremely helpful to buyers with less starting capital. |
