Is Hawaii too expensive for first deal?

[Kessy Similien]

This week I got pre-approved for a loan in Hawaii. As I'm looking through Redfin, everything is so expensive in Oahu, Hawaii and I'm wondering for my first deal would it make more sense to buy out of state. For example I've seen much cheaper multi families in Oakland. 

My pre-approval is with a Hawaiian bank and they said I can't buy out of state, should I get another pre-approval with Chase and explore other markets?
