Also if you plan on buying a home? ..Do not apply for any credit 1 year prior to applying for a mortgage.
Also you will want to pay your debt down as close to zero as possible.
Good Luck!
In addition to all the prior Great advice....
Definitely keep the highlighted part foremost in your mind. You do not want any New Inquiries, Credit, Loans, in the prior 12 months before applying for a mortgage. Soft pull CLIs are ok but you must make sure they are Soft Pulls.
