They both lamented at the drastic increase in leasing inquiries.

@Mazyar A. if you are insured with a personal lines policy, then they could count the claim  inquiry against you and list it on your CLUE report.If you have a commercial policy, it will not count against you unless something is paid out.

People frequently leave so much out of their inquiry that it is very hard to completely understand the totality of the situation.

:-)Yes, MyVR is a great solution that can give you a website, booking/reservation manager, and centralize inquiries from places like HomeAway and Airbnb.

They know about who's elderly and/or on disability but I don't think they would welcome an inquiry from someone like you since going through their records to find the very saddest cases is not really part of their business. 

In my experience the tenants in that area tend to be more hands-on, and you'll get a decent number of inquiries from people with Section 8.

.--------------------------- Yes....That is right as per FNMA --  but some commercial lenders will go to 80% as NOT written to FNMA guidelines.Type up a generic application...pull your credit online with all 3 scores...then fax it to two or 3 or four lenders...with these instructions.1) They are NOT TO pull the credit again as your trimerge credit is included  - so no more inquiries and then they do not know who else is looking at the deal2) They have then job history and debts --- and property address so there is NO REASON they cannot give you a very accurate good faith and the property address will allow them to pull a title profile and an online AVM appraisal ---  so they know 100% what they are getting into .Because I serve three states and many times drive to see clients and properties  I do this process upfront on all my deals - so cutting the conversation very short with a bad deal.

I recently read a post by local investor, Charles Sinn, who touched on many of the market based inquiries I have, but I am hoping to delve deeper into that conversation (see post below).

That way you won't end up with any unpleasant surprises down the road.Ultimately, it seems like this is a tax question, and if you post an inquiry on that forum here on BP you'll definitely get some solid help from someone in the know :-) Best of luck!

A lender told me that if I let several banks/lenders pull my credit within a short timeframe (like 14-21 days), it won't hurt my score anymore than if there was just one credit inquiry.
