When it comes to credit inquiries, there are two types: soft hits and hard hits. Soft hits, such as asking for a copy of your credit report, won't impact your credit score. Hard hits are inquiries that count toward your credit score. Whenever you apply for a credit, whether it's a credit card or mortgage, lenders ask for a copy of your credit report. When this happens, a credit inquiry is recorded--a hard hit. To protect your credit score, limit the number of hard hits. When shopping for a mortgage, apply only at lenders you're serious about. And try to apply for mortgages within a two-week period (these inquiries usually will be lumped together and treated as one). [2017] - Sean Cooper
