Pre-approved in multiple states?

[Account Closed]

I got pre-approved for a loan here in CA, but as of recently I have also been looking into other states for making my first real estate investment. The loan company that I was approved with is only licensed in CA, but they gave me a referral to a mortgage bank that holds multiple state licenses (NOVA home loans). Should I just go to a major bank to get pre-approved for out-of-state loans?
