I have A LOT of inquiries on my report because I am an active CC churner, yet my credit score is in the 830-835 range depending on the day. Inquiries have a fairly minimal impact on credit score. I doubt this is really going to effect someone with high debt/income ratio and a high credit score.3-4 inquiries won't be an issue for you as inquiries don't have that much impact compared to delinquent or late payments.
