FHA loans are insured by the federal government. This allows more favorable terms and easier requirements.
FHA
The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) operates under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, offering mortgage insurance for loans granted by FHA-approved lenders. This coverage extends to single-family homes, multifamily properties, residential care facilities, and hospitals across the United States and its territories.
FHA mortgage insurance serves to safeguard lenders from financial losses in the event of a property owner defaulting on their mortgage. In such cases, the FHA compensates the lender for the unpaid principal balance. This risk mitigation enables lenders to extend a greater number of mortgages to prospective homebuyers. Loans seeking insurance must meet specific criteria to qualify.
The FHA primarily sustains its operations through self-generated income. It collects mortgage insurance premiums from borrowers through lenders, utilizing this revenue to administer mortgage insurance programs that benefit homebuyers, renters, and communities.
Established in 1934 by Congress during a challenging period for the housing industry, the FHA aimed to address issues such as high unemployment among construction workers, stringent terms for homebuyers, and limited mortgage loan terms. At the time, homeownership was relatively low, with only 1 in 10 households owning homes. In 1965, the FHA became a part of the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Office of Housing.
