Re: Seeking advice

You will have to have one of your parents co-sign for you. I'd also suggest you apply for student credit cards to build your credit file. Remember you can check if you have anything on your credit report by going to annualcreditreport.com. Its free of charge with no entering any credit card information.

Re: Seeking advice

Ask you parents to add you as an authorized user to one of their credit cards, if they have good/excellent credit scores.  That should help increase your credit score up.  In the mean time, save up for a down payment since you're parents mosto likely won't co-sign when you're ready to purchase.
