Does getting denied for a mortgage loan affect your credit score?
Yes, but not to the severity you must be thinking. Inquiries from banks viewing your credit score and report will lower your score by a few points, and excessive inquiries will hurt your chances of any lines of credit. Just don't apply for too many loans or credit lines (2 max a year) within 5 years of your expected application.
Does applying for new credit cards hurt your score?
Every time you apply for credit and a creditor pulls a report it hurts your FICO score. The rule is to have no more then 6 inquiries on your credit report with in six months. They say a hard inquiry pulls your score down 3-5 points. There are 2 different inquiries hard and soft. A soft inquiry is when you pull your report or a creditor you already have pulls it to make sure you still have a good profile. The hard inquiries are the ones that hurt your score. It means that you are applying for credit.
Will running your credit report impact your fico score when shopping for a home loan?
Yes and no. FICO will make adjustments to your score when you shop for credit, which is what an inquiry indicates. How much this will affect your score depends on your credit history. Someone who does not often shop for credit may only be reduced a point or two, or maybe even see no reduction at all. Someone who already represents some form of credit risk may see a bigger decline in the score. With that said, according to FICO (www.myfico.com) multiple mortgage inquiries within a 14 day timeframe will count as one inquiry as far as it affects your score. They expect you to shop offers, just make sure you do it within the timeframe. The inquiries will still appear on your report, they just won't continue to hurt your score. On a side note, self inquiries do not affect your score.

Can mortgage inquiries from mortgage shopping within 14 days of loan application greatly affect credit score?
AnswerNo. When a mortgage lender pulls your credit and then "shops" for a loan program for you, a reference number is assigned to the credit report that is pulled. That same reference number is used each time the lender runs your file through the various investors. Therefore, it counts as only one inquiry and does not affect your credit score. Why Credit Inquiries Reduce Credit ScoresCredit inquiries reduce credit scores because statistical studies show that multiple inquiries are associated with high risk of default. Distressed borrowers often contact many lenders hoping to find one who will approve them.But multiple inquiries can also result from applicants shopping for the best deal, as indicated by the following letter."You keep preaching about the need to shop for the best deal, but I'm afraid that shopping will hurt my credit. I'm told that the more times lenders check on my credit, the worse my credit is going to be. Is that true?" How to Shop Without Reducing Your Credit Score Credit inquiries will not significantly impact your credit rating if you do all your shopping in a short period. Since the market can change from day to day, this is the only effective way to shop anyway.To avoid catching shoppers in their net, credit scorers ignore auto and mortgage inquiries that occur within 30 days of a score date. Suppose I shop a lender on May 30, for example, and the lender has my credit scored that day. Even if I had shopped 50 other lenders in May and they had all checked my credit, none of those inquiries would affect my credit score on May 30.Inquiries from April and back 11 months would, however, be counted on May 30. To avoid biasing the credit score from earlier shopping episodes, the scorers treat all credit inquiries that occur within a 14-day period as a single inquiry. If you shopped 50 lenders during April 1-14, they would count as one inquiry. If you spread them over April 1-28, they would count as two inquiries. You will damage your credit only if you spread your shopping over many months, which makes little sense in any case.[Recently, the 14-day rule was extended to 45 days in a new version of the FICO scoring system. However, lenders can choose whether they want to use the old version using 14 days, or the new version using 45 days. For a borrower, it is best to assume that the 14 day rule is operative.]Circumstances can cause a consumer to shop, drop out of the market, and return later when conditions are more favorable. You minimize the adverse effect on your credit score by concentrating each shopping episode to 14 days or less.You can remove these inquires with free letters found at http://www.removemycreditinquiries.org Only Inquiries From Credit Grantors CountConsumers should not be concerned about inquiries they make, such as ordering a credit report. Self inquiries don't affect the credit score. Neither do inquiries from your existing creditors, potential employers, or businesses considering whether or not to solicit you. The only inquiries that affect credit score are those by new credit grantors who you have explicitly authorized to check your credit.

Yes. All inquiries on your report lower your score. However, if you are "shopping around" for the best rates on either mortgages or auto loans, then after the first inquiry you have 14 more days to shop around. In those 14 days no matter how many inquiries of those 2 types are reported, it will only count as one inquiry.
