An FHA loan is underwritten by the Federal Housing Administration, a federal organization within the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The lender takes care of all the finances; 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 aid low-to-moderate income purchasers help meet credit requirements if they otherwise would not.

Down payments are often lower with an FHA loan despite using conventional market rates. FHA loan programs are particularly useful to those buyers with less available cash.
