If your property loan is FHA approved, that means that the loan has been secured by the Federal Housing Administration, which is a branch of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The FHA does not loan funds to borrowers, rather, it provides lending organizations with safety through mortgage insurance in case the borrower does not pay his or her financial obligations. Available to all purchasers, FHA loan programs are formed to help 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. FHA loan programs are incredibly beneficial to those buyers with less accumulated starting capital.
