If your financial transaction is FHA insured, that means that it has been secured by the FHA, which is a branch of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The FHA does not loan capital to borrowers. Rather, it provides lending organizations with protection with mortgage insurance in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan obligations. Low-income and moderate-income consumers benefit the most from FHA-secured loan programs. The purpose of the Federal Housing Administration is to assist credit-worthy potential buyers get approved for mortgages that they otherwise would not. Different from the VA appraiser panel, the lending agency working with Federal Housing Administration has the ability 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. Purchasers with lower incomes or less starting money to use as a down-payment on a mortgage are helped the most from FHA loan programs.
