Definition: FHA stands for Federal Housing Administration. It is a government agency that provides mortgage insurance to lenders to help people buy homes.
For example, if you want to buy a house but don't have enough money for a down payment, you can get an FHA loan. This means that the FHA will insure the loan, which makes it less risky for the lender. As a result, you may be able to get a loan with a lower down payment and a lower interest rate.
