Hey Darryl –Yes, this is a residential loan inquiry on a SFR.

If you bumped up the rent a little bit you may get less inquiries, but could possibly attract some more reasonable minded tenants.

Maintain good credit habits and remove the negative1 - You want to get rid of collections or inquiries that will damage your credit score.

Nobody will bring you more inquiries than VRBO & Homeaway. 

I am being told that if you do a inquiry under the Business Tax Id it is less likely to impact the credit score?

I would do a VERY detailed ARV inquiry on this home and a VERY detailed repair cost spreadsheet before going further.  

p=contactIf your inquiry is related to an SFR, not sure if they will do it.Best,David

He put it on Craiglist for $1,800/month and got 80 inquiries within the first 24 hours.

Not a big difference but I do have some equity to free up that can be used towards a future down payment.My biggest issue is that I have great credit and would be more concerned about the potential negative effect of a credit inquiry, and might be better served simply using the good credit (as is with no further inquiries) in order to borrow a bit more (instead of a refi for extra down payment money).

Perhaps I should involve a cpa for such inquiries?
