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 lending organization takes care of all the finances; the FHA simply backs the loan by providing mortgage insurance in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan. Applicable to all purchasers, FHA loan programs are designed to aid credit-worthy low-income and moderate-income families who do not meet requirements for conventional loans.

Down payments are often lower with an FHA loan despite using conventional market rates. The loan programs that the Federal Housing Administration provides are extremely beneficial to consumers with less starting income.
