I've also noticed that it may take one or two written inquiries to an owner and suddenly rehab begins as if they forgot they had the thing and decides to keep it because they see another investor wants it.

The inquiry  was pretty much an extension of my post from earlier today.

Hard credit inquires initiated by you the volume does affect the score some but not a major driver as other metrics they weigh.If your score is really low then there is usually a lot more than extra inquiries going on.To be a successful investor there has to be a life shift on how to manage and grow money with using credit.A bad use of leverage might be taking vacations, running up credit cards for toys, buying cars, etc. that have depreciating assets and do not give off a monetary return.Conversely if you do not load up on bad debt then that helps qualify  for the good debt.

I hope that this inquiry not only opens some doors to referrals, but also helps me to encourage some discussion amongst local investors to network.Thanks,Jon

The software was so poorly written, with minimal explanations and vague inquiries, that I ended up doing a ton of research offline anyway.

I got 20+ inquiries instantly and one lady called me directly.  

It is dangerous to ignore inquiries and not respond to them.  

New cards won't show on personal credit but the inquiries will.

There is no real good answer to your inquiry.

Will bad credit prohibit me from getting a real estate license in Florida?
