An FHA loan is secured by the Federal Housing Administration, a federal organization that is a part of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
None of the funds are provided by the FHA. What the FHA does is see to it that the loan is insured in case the borrower doesn't pay their loan.
The FHA and their loan programs are created to aid low-to-moderate income consumers by easing credit expectations.
Remember that the lender working with the the FHA is authorized to pick which appraisers they work with, unlike the VA appraisal panel.
The rates on FHA loans are generally market rates, while down payment requirements are lower than for conventional loans.
FHA loan programs are particularly useful to those purchasers with less accumulated cash.
