Getting a pre approval question

[Armel Bayot]

Hello everyone. I'm currently in the process of refinancing my home and planning to get a pre approval so I could start looking for my first rental property. Is it a good idea to get pre approved for OOS investing while  in the process of a refinance or should I wait when its over or after a few months ? ( will it hurt my credit  or have an impact on what I'll be pre approved ) Secondly , do I need to find a lender on the same state I'll be investing to get pre approved ?  

Thanks.
