Hi new member 7 months ago I was in your shoes. I made sure my credit report was updated with the right information and that all of my accounts were reporting correctly.
The cap 1 cards are a great place to start if you can get them. They start with pretty low limits but if you use them and pay in full each month around month 5 you can request a credit limit increase and when the 6th bill cuts you will automatically receive a larger increase. After having your cap 1 cards for 6 months you can then app for more accounts if you desire. I am 7 months out and have a lot of cards. I append for my cards to build my credit profile. I found the Walmart, lowes, and Amazon cards were fairly easy to get at 6 months out. You may also want to ad a finger hut account soon. They report on all 3 credit reports.
