An FHA loan is a mortgage backed by HUD and are a type of federal assistance. The FHA promises to pay lenders if a borrower defaults on an FHA loan. To fund this obligation, the FHA charges borrowers a fee. Home buyers who use FHA loans pay an upfront mortgage insurance premium (MIP) of 2.25%. They also pay a modest ongoing fee with each monthly payment (PMI).

If a borrower defaults on an FHA loan, the FHA uses collected insurance premiums to pay off the mortgage
