When purchasing out of state - Local or Out Of State Lender?

[Richard Naimy]

Hello BP Community,

When purchasing am residential MF property out of state - Should I use a local lender in California or should I use an out of state lender in the area I am planing to buy in e.g North Carolina? 

Does it even matter? 

- Conventional Lender 20% Down, second property. 

Thanks in advance ;-)

it doesn't matter so long that your lender does the loans in NC
