What is an FHA Mortgage Loan? - 03/17/10 10:30 PM
An FHA Mortgage loan is a loan that is insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). FHA does not actually provide the loan; it insures the mortgage for the lender. Should the borrower on an FHA mortgage default the lender may receive payment from FHA for their losses. This insurance coverage reduces the lenders risk and makes them more able or likely to offer a borrower a loan. An FHA mortgage loan may be for the purchase of a home that the borrower plans to live in, or the refinance of a home they already live in.
