Why Choose A Broker

Why New Iberia Buyers
Work With Channing

A bank can only sell you what the bank has. As a broker we shop your loan across multiple wholesale lenders, comparing rates, programs, and fees. And if you are buying a million dollar house with great credit, a big bank will beat me. I will tell you that too.

We Shop Multiple Lenders

Your application goes to multiple wholesale lenders at once. You get the best rate your profile qualifies for, not whatever one bank happens to be selling that week.

Fast Pre-Approvals

In a competitive New Iberia market, speed wins. Most clients get a pre-approval letter the same day they apply, so you can make an offer with confidence.

Side-By-Side Comparisons

FHA against Conventional against VA, run with your actual numbers, so you see the real monthly payment, the mortgage insurance difference, and the total cost over time.

A Real Person Every Time

You work directly with Channing Moore, not a call center. A question at 8pm on a Saturday gets answered. That is what working with a local broker actually means.

First-Time Buyers

Buying Your First Home
in New Iberia?

Nobody teaches this. You are expected to make the largest purchase of your life having never been shown how any of it works. Most first-time buyers in Iberia Parish qualify for two or three different programs, and the right one saves thousands.

Louisiana down payment assistance can reduce or wipe out the cash you bring to closing. Put that next to FHA's 3.5% or USDA's $0 down and a lot of New Iberia buyers are further along than they thought.

  • We compare FHA, Conventional, USDA, and VA on your numbers
  • A soft credit check first, so your score is never touched
  • We check every down payment assistance program you qualify for
  • If now is not your time, I tell you that and we make a plan

Investors

Investment Property Loans
in New Iberia

New Iberia rental property can be financed with a conventional investment loan or a DSCR loan, which qualifies on the property's rent rather than your personal income or tax returns.

DSCR Loans

Qualify on rental income alone. No tax returns, no W-2s. Works for long-term rentals and for short-term rentals on Airbnb or VRBO, well past Louisiana.

No income docs · 20% down
Learn About DSCR

Conventional Investment

Traditional financing for 1 to 4 unit investment properties in New Iberia. Lower rates than hard money with full 30-year amortization.

15% to 25% down
Conventional in New Iberia

Short-Term Rentals

DSCR lenders will accept Airbnb and VRBO income projections on a property that has no rental history yet, which is usually where a bank stops the conversation.

New Iberia FAQ

Common Questions
from New Iberia Buyers

FHA at 3.5% down, VA at $0 down for eligible veterans, USDA at $0 down on an eligible address, Conventional from 3% down, and the first-time buyer programs. We price every one you qualify for for your New Iberia purchase and go with whichever costs you less.
Most buyers here shop in the $145k to $270k range. New Iberia is Iberia Parish's seat and the heart of Cajun Country. Sugar, oil, and salt industries anchor the local economy. Affordable prices and strong community identity.
Start with the two-minute quiz. It runs a soft credit check, so nothing hits your report, and you find out what you qualify for before anyone pulls hard credit. From there we build the plan.
It depends on the program. FHA is 580 for 3.5% down, or 500 to 579 with 10% down. Conventional is usually 620. VA and USDA set no official floor, though most lenders want 580 to 620. Your debt-to-income ratio matters as much as the score, so bring the real numbers.
Yes, if VA or USDA fits. VA is $0 down for eligible veterans. USDA is $0 down on an eligible address, and eligibility runs off the exact address rather than the city name. Down payment assistance can also cut what an FHA buyer brings to closing.
That is most of who we work with. If the answer is that now is not your time, I will tell you that too, along with what to fix and roughly how long it takes.
