FHA stands for the Federal Housing Administration. FHA was created in 1934 to help Americans realize the dream of Home ownership. FHA was absorbed into HUD in the 1960s and is now known as HUD-FHA.

There are a great many benefits to the Florida FHA loan program. Florida FHA loans are insured by the US government. They provide lenders with greater security than they get when they write traditional loans. HUD sets the basic Florida FHA guidelines for lenders, however lenders are able to add on their own specific requirements. This is why not all lenders are able to offer Florida FHA loans to the same individuals. It is very important that you deal with a company well versed in FHA loans and that knows exactly how to take advantage of all of their great features.
