Financing and long distance investing questions

[Mark Locki]

Hello everyone,

I'm new here and to real estate investing in general.  I live in BC and am looking at investing in some multi-family properties in Moncton, New Brunswick in the near future.  My question is, when it comes to getting financing, does it matter if you use a bank/mortgage broker in your own province, or one where you're planning on buying?   Any advantages or disadvantages if both can be done?

Thanks!
