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 lender takes care of all the loaned money; the FHA simply backs the transaction through mortgage insurance in case the borrower does not pay off his or her loan. The FHA and their loan programs are built to aid low-to-moderate income purchasers help meet credit expectations if 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 provides are exceedingly helpful to consumers with less starting income.
