An FHA loan is secured by the Federal Housing Administration, a federal agency within the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). No part of the loan is provided by the FHA; what the FHA does is make sure that the loan is secure in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan obligations. Available to all homebuyers, FHA loan programs are built to help credit-worthy low-income and moderate-income families who do not meet requirements for conventional loans.

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 FHA offers are excessively useful to buyers with less starting capital.
