An FHA loan is underwritten by the Federal Housing Administration, a federal organization that is a part of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
The lending company takes care of all the funds being borrowed - the FHA simply backs the loan with mortgage insurance in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan.
The FHA and their loan programs are designed to aid low-to-moderate income homebuyers by easing credit qualifications.
Unlike the VA appraiser panel, the lending organization working with FHA is allowed to pick the appraiser.
