How to Strategize Loan for OOS investment

[Joseph McCrillis]

I'm looking for a (2-4) Multifamily in 3 different states and I'm not sure what the best strategy is regarding the money. I might finance conventionally or purchase with Hard Money depending on the property I end up with. Should I be connecting with Hard Money lenders that lend in all 50 states and then 3 different pre approvals with conventional lenders? That seems like the way to go, but it seems a bit excessive. 

I'll use conventional wherever I can, but would only do HM if it's an off market opportunity that I really want. 

Thanks!
