An FHA loan is insured by the Federal Housing Administration, a federal agency that is a part of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The lender provides all the financing - the FHA simply insures the transaction by providing mortgage insurance in case the borrower does not pay off his or her loan. The FHA and their loan programs are created to aid low-to-moderate income buyers by easing credit requirements. Different from the VA appraiser panel, the lender working with FHA has the freedom to choose the appraiser.

The rates on FHA loans are generally market rates, while down payment requirements are lower than for conventional loans. Those with lesser incomes or less starting money to put down on a mortgage are helped the most from FHA loan programs.
