Your losing maybe 20 to 25 points max in my experience from thos inqs. I dropped 8 at once and my Fico moved from 763 to 788. But then again, banks have their own extrapolated score systems too.

having too much available repective of income amount is not good either. I'm not sure where to red line starts but I would suspect having twice as much available to you than you make is borderline risk.
