What do you think is so important about these loan programs? I would suggest you do some in-depth research and write a post about them. I promise you'll learn so much more than just asking this open-ended question.

FHA and VA are wonderful mortgage loan products for home buyers. The low cash requirements are especially appealing to first time home buyers.

FHA & VA are vital for most of the "average American families" today. FHA offers the ability to get buyers who are short on cash, or lower credit score or tight in ratios. VA is a benefit for your service men & women who risk their lives for less than avg income, to be able to now buy a home for less cash needed than others.

They are low downpayment loans and allow for higher debt ratios and lower credit scores than typical conventional financing. Many people could not buy without them.
