Update: Going for it! VA Loan - CLOSED!

Well, I sorta gave up on looking for houses until I happened to take a look at a foreclosure home today that I love. So tomorrow I'm going to work up my VA Loan pre-approval and then put an offer in! Not thinking I was getting a mortgage any time soon, I opened up a new credit card a week ago, and it hasn't posted to my credit report yet, but should in the next 3 weeks, and have 4 other new credit cards from July, and one from April. My loan officer said it shouldn't be a problem though as long as I justify the cards and the inquiries and since my DTI is 0%. Wish me luck! I'll keep this post updated with the process.
