If your loan 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 lending company provides all the funds being borrowed - the FHA simply secures the loan with mortgage insurance in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan. The FHA and their loan programs are designed to help low-to-moderate income buyers by easing credit qualifications. Remember that the lender working with the the Federal Housing Administration is permitted to pick the appraisal company with which they'll work, different from VA appraisal panel.

Typically, a buyer has to pay less of a down payment on an FHA-insured loan, while the rates remain standard market rates. FHA loan programs are particularly beneficial to those consumers with less accumulated funding.
