An FHA loan is backed by the Federal Housing Administration, a federal agency within the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). None of the funds are provided by the FHA. What the FHA does is make sure that the loan is insured in case the borrower doesn't pay their loan. Available to all purchasers, FHA loan programs are designed to assist credit-worthy low-income and moderate-income families who do not meet requirements for conventional loans. Remember that the lender working with the the Federal Housing Administration is allowed to pick which appraisers they will use, different from VA appraisal panel.

The rates on FHA loans are generally market rates, while down payment requirements are lower than for conventional loans. The loan programs that the FHA provides are invaluable to consumers with less starting income.
