An FHA loan is backed by the Federal Housing Administration, a federal organization within the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). None of the money in the loan is provided by the FHA. What the FHA does is make sure that the loan is paid for in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan obligations. Low-income and moderate-income borrowers benefit the most from FHA-secured loan programs. The purpose of the Federal Housing Administration is to aid credit-worthy buyers get approved for mortgages that they otherwise would not. Different from the VA appraiser panel, the lender working with Federal Housing Administration actually has the freedom to choose 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 extremely useful to those buyers with less accessible starting capital.
