If your home loan is FHA insured, that means that the loan has been secured by the FHA, which is a branch of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The FHA does not loan capital to borrowers, rather, it provides lending agencies with safety through mortgage insurance in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan obligations. The FHA and their loan programs are designed to help low-to-moderate income purchasers help meet credit qualifications 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 Federal Housing Administration provides are extremely helpful to buyers with less starting capital. |
