If your home loan is FHA certified, that means that the loan has been guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration, which is part of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). None of the money in the loan is provided by the FHA; what the FHA does is make sure that the loan is secure in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan obligations. The FHA and their loan programs are built to help low-to-moderate income purchasers help meet credit expectations if they otherwise would not.

The rates on FHA loans are generally market rates, while down payment requirements are lower than for conventional loans. The loan programs that the FHA offers are extremely beneficial to purchasers with less starting capital.
