If your home loan is FHA certified, that means that it has been guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration, which is underneath the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). None of the money in the loan is provided by the FHA. What the FHA does is see to it that the loan is paid for in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan obligations. The FHA and their loan programs are formed to assist low-to-moderate income purchasers by easing credit requirements. Remember, the FHA is different from the VA appraiser panel in that the lending agency can select the appraiser.

Down payments are often lower with an FHA loan despite using conventional market rates. Those with lesser incomes or less starting funds to use as a down-payment on a financial transaction are helped the most from FHA loan programs.
