Loan shopping and Credit Score?

I'm in the early stages of shopping around for mortgage/loan. I have 4 different banks that I will be contacting shortly.

Will contacting 4 bank affect my credit score?

Do you recommenshopping for a loan differebtly?

Thanks for your input!

30 days for most. technically, you might find someone using an old scoring model i guess, but the current fico ignores other mortgage inquiries for past 30 days. or counts them as one..... same thing.
