First time MultiFamily home buyers

[Nayari Scott]

My husband and I are trying to purchase our first multi family home (which will be our first home) in the Harrisburg/Hershey/Carlisle area. We are trying to look for the perfect lender without them pulling credit score each time. How can we shop for lenders without have our credit take a hit?

Hopefully someone else can chime in, or maybe a quick google search can confirm... but I THINK when shopping for a mortgage within a certain time frame (maybe 30 days), the multiple inquiries to your credit will not have a negative effect.  I believe it will be treated as one.  Again, please confirm but I did hear a broker friend comment on this topic.
