What is called the Federal Housing Administration or (FHA) was added to HUD in 1965. It allowed home buyers the ability to
purchase with very little money down at a time when the housing market needed a jump start. Since then, FHA loans have become less and less favorable with the advent of new mortgage programs which make the process so much easier
In 2006 FHA started relaxing some of the guidelines and expected in 2008, they will relax even further.
This is good news for America, because low fixed mortgage rates and easier qualifications mean that more people can purchase a home in the future, and
homeowners stuck in an adjustable rate mortgage will be able to get out from under neath there loan. FHA has needed to develop a much better and more flexible
mortgage solution and it looks as if they have.
