Does FHA still exist today?
FHA loans—mortgages insured by the FHA and issued by an FHA-approved lender—still exist today. Designed for low- to moderate-income borrowers, they require a lower minimum down payment and lower credit scores than many conventional mortgages. 3 They are especially popular with first-time homebuyers.

Is HUD the same as FHA?
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) oversees the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). The FHA insures mortgages for homebuyers with little cash for a down payment and lower-than-average credit scores. HUD itself doesn’t guarantee mortgages for individual homes unless you’re a Native American.
Who funds FHA loans?
FHA primarily operates from its self-generated income. We collect mortgage insurance premiums from borrowers via lenders. We use this income to operate our mortgage insurance programs for the benefit of homebuyers, renters, and communities.
How long do you have to keep a house with an FHA loan?
one year
FHA loans are for owner-occupied property only. You must move into the property within 60 days of closing a purchase, and must occupy the property for at least one year. After that, you can change how you use the property.
