Re: Credit limit

I recommend staying in the garden until you are ready to purchase your home in 9 months since it is ideal for you to for you not to have many inquiries for a year prior to the purchase. See link to garden club below:

Exactly! If you are planning to buy a home within the next 9 months, do not app for anything until you have your house keys in hand.

No. don't apply for anything if a house is in the future. let what you have grown to optimize your scores and keep doing what you are doing.

No more cards, just manage what you have now.

Re: Credit limit

If a really great card came along, you really don't need to wait 9 months before a mortgage.   But for normal stuff that can wait, I can understand.   But I have apped within a few weeks of closing, and it isn't a big issue, unless the score dip moves you from one bracket to another, which shouldn't be that common.
