An FHA loan is backed by the Federal Housing Administration, a federal organization 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 agencies with protection by offering mortgage insurance in case the borrower defaults on his or her financial obligations. Low-income and moderate-income homebuyers benefit from an FHA-backed financial transaction; the point of the Federal Housing Administration is to help credit-worthy consumers to meet expectations and necessities for lenders 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 Federal Housing Administration provides are extremely beneficial to buyers with less starting income.
