What Is an FHA Loan?

An FHA loan is insured by the Federal Housing Administration, a federal agency within the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The FHA doesn't lend money directly — instead, it protects lenders through mortgage insurance (MIP) in case a borrower defaults. FHA loan programs are designed to help creditworthy low- and moderate-income buyers who may not meet the requirements for a conventional loan, with generally market-rate interest and lower down payment requirements than conventional financing.

Why This Matters for Your Transaction

FHA loan programs are especially valuable for buyers with less available cash, since down payment requirements are lower than conventional loans while rates stay competitive. If your purchase or refinance depends on an FHA-compliant appraisal, working with an appraiser who already knows FHA's specific guidelines removes one more variable from your closing timeline.
