[LL8]

mortgage lenders? I am looking into getting a VA Loan and I want to get the best deal possible not just go to the first lender that pops up. I know every lender would have to do a hard inquiry on my credit report so is there a way to get good estimates without those hard inquirys hurting my credit? I know a friend recommended having lenders pull my credit at around the same time since it takes a couple hours/days for that to be updated on my credit report but I am not too sure about that so if I were to try that how long do hard inquirys take before they effect your credit score?
