I agree with John that local is better and here is why.
When as a single woman getting a loan back in the day when single women were looked at funny by mortgage bankers and car salesmen, I attempted to get a loan to build a house on 20 acres with well water and wood stove heat. This was 3 hours north of SF where I worked. The mortgage company wouldn't touch a home with wood heat, or well water.
Well the local boys did tell me to bring in my husband or boy friend to ask questions, LOL, but they finally understood! They were not worried about the well or the wood heat, just my marital status!!! LOL
