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 lender provides all the loaned money - the FHA simply insures the loan with mortgage insurance in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan.
The FHA and their loan programs are built to benefit low-to-moderate income purchasers by easing credit qualifications.
Remember, the FHA deviates from the VA appraiser panel in that the lending agency can pick the appraiser.
Typically, a buyer has to pay less of a down payment on an FHA-insured loan, while the rates remain standard market rates.
FHA loan programs are incredibly useful to those buyers with less available starting capital.
