If your home loan is FHA certified, that means that it has been guaranteed by the FHA, which is part of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The FHA does not loan money to borrowers, rather, it provides lenders with safety through mortgage insurance in case the borrower does not pay his or her financial obligations. Accessible to all homebuyers, FHA loan programs are designed to assist credit-worthy low-income and moderate-income families who do not have the qualifications for conventional loans. The rates on FHA loans are generally market rates, while down payment requirements are lower than for conventional loans. FHA loan programs are incredibly helpful to those consumers with less available starting capital. |
