Where should I get a loan when going out of state?

[Walter Mendoza]

Hello all!!! I am excited to be here as this is my first post and I am new to the Bigger Pockets community. I am wondering what is the best strategy when buying property out of state when it comes to getting loans? Would it be better to get a loan from a local bank where I live or a bank near the property I plan on purchasing? What are the pros and cons of each? How do you feel about the online lenders vs banks? What advise can you provide from personal experience? I appreciate all answers and information provided. I thank you all in advance for reading my post and to those who respond. Walt
