If your loan is FHA certified, that means that it has been guaranteed by the FHA, which is underneath the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The FHA does not provide funds to borrowers, rather, it provides lenders with protection with mortgage insurance in case the borrower does not pay his or her financial obligations. The FHA and their loan programs are created to assist low-to-moderate income purchasers help meet credit requirements if they otherwise would not.

Down payments are often lower with an FHA loan despite using conventional market rates. FHA loan programs are extremely useful to those buyers with less accumulated funding.
