If your home loan is FHA approved, that means that the loan has been guaranteed by the FHA, 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 protection by offering mortgage insurance in case the borrower does not pay his or her loan obligations. The FHA and their loan programs are created to help low-to-moderate income homebuyers by easing credit requirements. Remember that the lending organization working with the the Federal Housing Administration is allowed to select which appraisers they will use, different from VA appraisal panel.

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 homebuyers with less available cash.
