If your loan is FHA insured, that means that it has been secured by the Federal Housing Administration, which is a branch of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The lender takes care of all the money in the loan - the FHA simply secures the transaction through mortgage insurance in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan. The FHA and their loan programs are designed to benefit low-to-moderate income purchasers by easing credit requirements. Remember that the lending organization approving a loan associated with the Federal Housing Administration is allowed to pick which appraisers they will use, unlike the 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 extremely helpful to consumers with minimal starting capital.
