    A first mortgage by a lender, no insured by the federal government, is a(n):

    • RHS mortgage

    Correct Answer
    A. Conventional mortgage
    Explanation
    A conventional mortgage refers to a first mortgage that is not insured by the federal government. Unlike FHA and VA mortgages, which are backed by the government, a conventional mortgage is solely the responsibility of the lender. This means that the lender bears the risk of default by the borrower, as there is no government insurance to protect them. Conventional mortgages typically require higher credit scores and down payments compared to government-backed mortgages.

    Correct Answer
    A. Federal Housing Administration

    The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) is the entity that insures a loan in lieu of Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI). PMI is typically required by lenders when a borrower makes a down payment of less than 20% on a conventional mortgage. However, if the borrower qualifies for an FHA loan, they can avoid PMI because the FHA provides mortgage insurance to protect the lender in case of default. FHA loans are backed by the government and are often more accessible to borrowers with lower credit scores or smaller down payments.
