An FHA loan is underwritten by the Federal Housing Administration, a federal agency within the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The lending organization takes care of all the finances; the FHA simply insures the loan by providing mortgage insurance in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan. Low-income and moderate-income borrowers benefit from an FHA-secured financial transaction; the purpose of the Federal Housing Administration is to aid credit-worthy buyers to meet expectations and qualifications for lenders that they otherwise would not. Down payments are often lower with an FHA loan despite using conventional market rates. FHA loan programs are extremely helpful to those homebuyers with less accumulated funding. |
