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 loan is an FHA-secured loan, it means it is backed by them. The FHA does not loan capital to borrowers, rather, it provides lending agencies with security by offering mortgage insurance in case the borrower does not pay his or her financial obligations. The FHA and their loan programs are formed to assist low-to-moderate income purchasers help meet credit requirements if 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 excessively helpful to buyers with less starting capital. |
