Is there a sense of leniency on how your credit score will be affected as a result of having multiple applications submitted for a conventional home loan? 

By calling them, you are referring to submitting pre-qualification applications with these banks? 

Planning to buy a first home, should I start with contracting a Mortgage Broker? Unsure if this is something I should do, or work to do the legwork on my own. 

I am in the Richmond, VA market.

Thank you for all the advice, I really do appreciate it. 

I’m new to real estate investing and ideally, I want to invest in a property with the intention to generate cash flow while I live in the property along with other tenants. My plan is to find a property this summer, so I do have some time.  In my location, units are a lot more expensive to purchase but the benefit is that rent for different units are also high. I am having trouble analyzing different units, and was wondering if any of you have any advice?
