TOTALLY wanting/needing a new home
I got 4 new cards in July and one a few weeks ago as I didn't think I was going to go for a mortgage yet until I saw the house I'm buying now. My loan officer didn't bat an eye and said it wouldn't be an issue at all, just that if the UW asks, I will have to explain I got them for boosting my credit profile before a mortgage.
