Investing out of state - Pre approval process...

[Stephen Branagan]

Hi,

When considering investing out of state, is it best practice to find a local lender in the market I want to invest in? Alternatively, can I get pre-approved online or with my bank and go from there before shopping between lenders? 

Thanks!

I would recommend finding a lender in the area you invest in. They would have more connections with appraisers and realtors than the lenders you find outside of the state you invest in. Let me know if you need any referrals, I know a decent amount of lenders
