Thanks @Jonathan R McLaughlin, I was told they couldn't share the credit check, but gave me the FICO score. 

I have a descent credit score but not enough for a down payment...

There are SO many available podcasts, webinars, and incredible investors who will share insight and recommendations right here.

I try and get 700 credit score tenants now and miraculously most of my tenant issues have disappeared. 

Our government encourages shopping around with different lenders, so if the credit report is obtained by multiple mortgage companies within a close time period---let's say a month, the effect on the credit score will be minimal.

Part of my luck I guess has been buying in strong school districts and mostly B type property, I feel I would have gotten burned more if it was C type.Agree with you on approach, I have been strict with application requirements and have a high bar on credit score, etc.

or some call them pipe farms.. there were some incredible deals in 2010 on dirt far out weighing most any other investment just on  buy it for X sell it 7 years later for X.  

Thus, you can have many mortgage related credit pulls within a 30-day window and only the first pull will negatively impact your scores.

I currently have a primary residence home with about $225,000 in equity, and I have about $25,000 liquid, and a credit score in the mid 700s.
