Can anyone tell me what the best card to start with is (secured)
And any other helpfull advise would be appreciated
I would like to buy a House in 2 years and want to use my Husbands VA

If your bankrupcty is too new less than a year or two, it may be hard to get secured card because your credit score has dropped big time since you filed for BK. Just wait for a year or two later and when your credit score improve, I'm sure you will get a secured and unsecured card.
What is HSBC
I had a BK discharged in 2006. Within a couple months I had pre-approvals from Orchard and Household banks for unsecured cards. While the limits were low..like $300 and an annual fee of $59, I went ahead and accepted them. I screwed up in the past and I felt it was a small price to pay for my mistakes. They are decent rebuilder cards and they do that job well as long as you manage them.
Check Orchard Bank: https://www.hsbcapply.com/start/orchardbank
It's a soft pull for the preapproval so try it out.

HSBC is a sub-prime CC issuer, however they are a decent starter card. They also have a sub-sub-prime division via Orchard Bank. HSBC also manages CC portfolios for companies like Best Buy and others whose names escape me at the moment.
