If your house loan is FHA approved, that means that it has been secured by the Federal Housing Administration, which is part of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The lender provides all the money in the loan; the FHA simply insures the loan by providing mortgage insurance in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan. Accessible to all consumers, FHA loan programs are made to assist credit-worthy low-income and moderate-income families who do not meet requirements for conventional loans.

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 helpful to consumers with less starting income.
