An FHA loan is insured by the Federal Housing Administration, a federal agency that is a part of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The FHA does not loan money to borrowers, rather, it provides lending organizations with protection through mortgage insurance in case the borrower does not pay his or her financial obligations. Low-income and moderate-income borrowers benefit from an FHA-insured financial transaction; the point of the Federal Housing Administration is to aid credit-worthy buyers to meet expectations and qualifications for lending organizations that they otherwise would not.

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 incredibly beneficial to buyers with less starting capital.
