Why Louisiana investors choose Quicker Home Loans.
Louisiana is the only civil-law state in the US (Napoleonic Code), which changes terminology — 'act of mortgage with pact de non alienando' rather than common-law mortgage language — and changes procedure. Judicial foreclosure runs 180 to 270 days via executory process, which is a summary judicial procedure faster than traditional foreclosure in most judicial states. Louisiana also has no statutory redemption period, which is a meaningful lender-recovery advantage.
New Orleans DSCR activity was reshaped by the 2023 STR ordinance, which effectively banned whole-home non-primary STRs in most residential zones; long-term rental yields recovered somewhat as STR supply compressed. Baton Rouge and Lafayette run as steadier conventional DSCR markets. Shreveport is the value play — lowest entry prices, thinnest margins.
When a Louisiana deal doesn't fit our standard guidelines, we run it through the Approval Engine — a wider underwriting framework that finds an angle. That's how we close 95% of the deals we touch.
Louisiana DSCR context
DSCR in Louisiana — what matters.
A few Louisiana-specific factors shape how DSCR deals get structured here:
- Foreclosure process
- Louisiana uses a judicial foreclosure process, with typical uncontested timelines running 180–270 days.
- Property tax
- Statewide owner-occupied benchmark is roughly 0.55%. Investment property underwriting should use actual county tax bills and investor assessment rules — not homeowner-facing averages.
- Landlord climate
- Louisiana's landlord-tenant framework is landlord-friendly.
- Short-term rentals
- New Orleans STR ordinance (2023) is strict — whole-home non-primary STRs effectively banned in most residential zones; other cities vary.
Right program, right state
Which QHL programs fit Louisiana.
New Orleans files require careful confirmation of zone status and any grandfathered STR rights at submission. Standard DSCR at 80% fits Baton Rouge, Lafayette, and most New Orleans long-term rental acquisitions. Civil-law procedural differences are handled routinely in our Louisiana closings — LLC, trust, and personal-name vestings all work.
Prepayment penalty
