So for those of you reading and not participating here is the mistake I made I encourage you not to...Mistake #1I assumed that my bank offered FHA loans so I went online and filled out the application to see what I could be approved for and after they put a hard credit inquiry on my credit report I found out they don't offer FHA loans.Can only assume I will make many more mistakes along the way, thank god for BiggerPockets to help reduce them!

Back to original inquiry: which are reputable companies?

My email is [email protected] Cell: 978-601-3453I am have found a property in that area that is on the Internet, but the seller is not answering my inquiries.

After writing my post, and then seeing the popup that inquiries about specific requests should be in the marketplace, I thought about my post and figured that even without specific info in any reply, any generalities about the topic would be very helpful (as in Eric's reply).   

Thanks @Mike Hartzog & @Kathleen Leary,I put in an inquiry to utilities last night about getting it temporarily turned on for a potential sale.

No, you will get hit with a hard inquiry or two with a mortgage (on each credit reporting agency), and it will show up as a new account, however since it is a mortgage, not a new revolving account (credit card), the impact on your score will be virtually non-existant (or at least that's my experience).Go out and open a couple of new credit cards and you will take a hit on your score (it really depends on your credit profile),,but  new mortgages don't hurt.The only problem with mortgages is you now should count your rental income in your 'total income" if the mortgage is showing up on your credit report  when applying for a new credit card, car loan, etc.  

It is much easier being a member of a reporting agency as your inquiry will show up and the agency will "front" the questions as to any inquiry, meaning someone gets ticked off they don't call you so much as your membership allows some leeway to making inquiries that the reporting agency justifies....if that makes since.

If they send an email inquiry, they get an auto response that has a link to my website and the page with the questionaire.

I know this topic has gone in the opposite direction but could the intent of the inquiry been that you or "your partner" is licensed and not disclosing as such in your letter?

My PM received many inquiries this April and into May.We do have a Medical college in Erie but there is no real special circumstances other than winter and school year that effects peoples desire to move or not.
