Re: New to Apps

+2. Citi can pull from any of the 3 bureaus, and sometimes even double / triple pulls. If you have some major derog on your EX / TU that you don't want lenders to look at, its best to avoid national banks altogether with a few exceptions, such as Barclays.

If you need a LOC, talk to a banker that you already have relationship with. Usually they can set up the best rates and terms for their customers. Alternatively, you can also look into moving some money into another bank and set everything up with them.

You should also consider business cards.
JPMorgan Palladium (100k), AmEx Platinum (NPSL), AmEx SPG (46k), AmEx BCP (42k), Chase Sapphire Preferred (47k), Citi Prestige (31k), Citi Thank You Preferred (27k), Citi Executive AAdvantage (25k), JPMorgan Ritz-Carlton (21k), Merrill+ (15k), US Bank Cash+ (22.5k), Wells Fargo (12k), Bloomingdale’s (12.4k), Chase Freedom (5k), Discover IT (5k).
