The home is being sold, it's in Escrow, and I'm looking for a property to purchase. In the meanwhile I have a limited amount of time (April 6) before it closes. I placed three rental applications that all check my credit. I'm hoping that the one inquiry hit for multiple checks within a period of time for mortgages also applies for rental applications. Does anyone know if I apply for different apartments that it only counts as one, because it says Rental Check? So far my credit was checked by the two rental companies and I only see one inquiry being reported.
In case anyone is curious, I'm trying to secure a location regardless. I need a place to land into if I don't find a home. This way I have an apartment secured while I look for a home. I did three applications because the first one was to secure something. The second was in the area I liked, and the third was because they offered a six-month lease VS. the other two that wanted 12-month leases. I also know the property management company as I was with them for 10 years.
Each one is separate there is no 2 week grace period where all related inqs are counted as 1 in the eyes of Fico like there is with auto & mortgage pulls. If you have only gotten 1 HP so far thats a good thing. How about staying with other family or friend until you actually close on a new home for yourself?? Something to look at to avoid all the pulls.
