Tips on how to build credit

It takes time, so be patient. 

Good credit is necessary for success.  To get started you want to avoid as many hard inquiries that do not result in credit, as possible. The best way to do this is to open a secured credit card. A secured credit card will allow you the same benefits as the traditional credit card, they're just a lot easier to obtain. Something to be mindful of when opening a secured credit card is not every credit card company will report to all three credit bureaus, here is a link to my credit repair web page where I've provided access to a secured credit card company that will report to all 3 bureaus once you've applied. The benefit to starting out with a secured credit card are very promising!  https://movingforwardlifestyle.com/credit-repair/                                                              (under my credit repair tab)
