If your house loan is FHA insured, that means that it 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 capital to borrowers, rather, it provides lending organizations with safety through mortgage insurance in case the borrower does not pay his or her financial obligations. The FHA and their loan programs are created to aid low-to-moderate income purchasers help meet credit expectations if they otherwise would not.

Typically, a buyer has to pay less of a down payment on an FHA-insured loan, while the rates remain standard market rates. Buyers with lesser income or less starting capital to use as a down-payment on a loan benefit the most from FHA loan programs.
