From NYC to out of state investing Help

I currently live in Brooklyn NYC and as we all know, the property prices here are ridiculous.

My question is if I wanted to finance a duplex or a 4plex out of state, do I have to go to that state to obtain a bank loan or can I use Chase bank in NYC to apply for a loan for a house in Philly. Is that legal?

I'm asking because I realize that I can probably qualify for a 100k loan if I make 35k a year and I can get my moneys worth if I buy a duplex out of state. Whereas in NYC a 100k loan can probably buy a 1 bm 400sq condo.

Mortgage brokers solve this out of state or inter-state issue. Being willing to invest out of state is your greatest asset. Lots of southern and mid-western states are great places to invest. Follow the big companies like Boeing, Xerox, IBM, and others to see good areas to invest. Be sure its a city with growing trade economics.

There isn't anything "illegal" about working with a bank in your home state to purchase out of state. It's based on whomever will work with you.

You can use the bank in NYC to finance that purchase out of state
