Pre-Approval Credit Considerations

[Account Closed]

When getting pre-approved, are there any considerations when shopping approval & interest rates from different lenders? And are there any strategies to get pre-approved from multiple lenders without dinging credit score too hard from several hard inquiries? I've heard of folks getting pre-approval letters from multiple lenders without it dinging their credit multiple times, so I'm wondering if that is universally true or if that is specific to specific lenders.
