If your property 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). The lender provides all the loaned money; the FHA simply insures the transaction with mortgage insurance in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan. The FHA and their loan programs are built to benefit low-to-moderate income consumers help meet credit requirements 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. FHA loan programs are particularly beneficial to those purchasers with less available cash.
