The FHA is the Federal Housing Administration. It's government lending. They will lend up to 97.75% of the appraised value of a property, and the loan you're looking for is well within their limits, and your credit score will be fine as well. They typically lend at lower rates than private lenders, however with FHA loans you are required to escrow taxes and insurance, and there is always MI (mortgage insurance) attached to the loan.
