Credit Card Applications

I go to closing on a new home on September 15th and wanted to apply for some new cards afterwards. I wanted to know should I apply for new cards before or after the new mortgage reports to my credit report?

Re: Credit Card Applications

Hello Since I was in this spot about 3 months ago,,, I recommed before it reports but after you close. It will affect your Credit between the Home HP & the Apps but will rise shortly after. App for the cards thast have the best rate to fit your needs also that would help with your New home needs.. I did get  3 cards and closed it down. now in garden for some time as I dont need any. Good luck

Re: Credit Card Applications

Are you going to use your old address when you apply or the new one?

I applied the next biz day after closing. Verified with the mort company that it wouldn't mess anything up on their end either.
