The wife and I live in Illinois and we are planning on buying a house in Missouri to vacation to and eventually move there permanently after we retire in 15 years or so.

Would we be better off getting a mortgage from a bank in Illinois or one in Missouri?

A Missouri bank would understand the local property values.

Get a loan wherever you get the most favorable terms.With today's global real estate market you have a lot more options.



I was ​always taught to respect my elders, but it keeps ​getting harder to find one.

I think it will be an uphill battle to get a bank to lend on out of state property.

Virtually all residential real estate loans are made to be resold in the secondary mortgage market, not kept by the originating lender. The loan must meet very exacting standards, both underwriting and documentation.

Talk to the brokers you deal with on the purchase, prior to making an offer to get some recommendations.




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

We bought our home in Mo through our old credit union in IL (CEFCU) and still do all our primary baking with them to this day, 18 years later. No problems at all.

Thanks, everyone for the replies. 1gkek, CEFCU is our lender for a car loan now and that's who I was thinking of using here in Illinois.

CEFCU has always been easy to work with and their rates have never been beat locally on cars (I've bought... too many). We've got an account at a local credit union for the times when we need local access to money, but our direct deposits, mortgage, and car loans are all at CEFCU back in Peoria. We're very satisfied customers.

Yep. Lenders have to be licensed in the state. And lenders are licensed wherever they do business. Credit Unions often are licensed wherever they have customers.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Side note. I used to work for a small CU in San Jose that got ran into the ground by management (after I moved on) and was acquired by CEFCU. I still had a few loans with them after they were acquired. Never unhappy with their service in the years after.

I am currently a lender for a large bi-coastal bank we do lend in several states in the middle of the country but mainly resort areas. (think Aspen, jackson hole, etc) we just don’t know every market so even though we have many SF Bay Area clients who want to buy their retirement house in AZ, TX or other free state we are so conservative lenders if we even want to lend the money in that market it’s usually going to be a 40-50% down situation. Therefore I highly reccomend a local bank or CU, an actual direct lender bank not a mortgage broker. as they know the market and have the local knowledge. Your realtor in that area you are using should also have some contacts to refer you to.
