All inquiries will show on your credit report. Multiple inquiries from different mortgage or car lenders will only be considered as one in your score calculation. This takes into consideration that people shop for finacing for these large purchases and are not really looking for multiple mortgages or car loans. However, it is a different tale with credit cards and any other type of loan. Since you could very well get multiple credit cards or other loans. In the schedule that you listed, applying for a mortgage, car loan, personal loan, and 4 credit cards in a 30 day period, won't be going well for you. Creditors will take one look at all those applications for new credit and decline your application. It is never a good idea to apply for any other new credit lines when you apply for a mortgage. All that potential new debt means your debt to income ratio is likely to be outside their requirements.

As bdancer2 stated, your report will be full of inquiries. It is those credit card and loan applications that are listed individually. Shopping for a mortgage or auto loan is different and will be treated as a singe inquiry as long as you shop quickly. Also, inquiries remain on your credit report for 2 years but have less affect as time goes by.
