Do you think even thought I just got that credit card I can still at some point in the near future apply for a mortgage loan?
Suboptimal but it's not like lenders haven't seen crazier things than that... for the LOE if they want one, don't tell them the whole long story though hah, keep it simple and to the point.
Admittedly not all lenders may have the same stance on it, but as I understand it's mostly the drop in score that sometimes occurs with new accounts which is the big bugaboo; losing thousands over the course of a loan as a result of missing a tier, is something to try to avoid heh. My EQ 04 dropped 7, my TU 04 dropped 9, and my EX 98 not sure, had a big positive change there which outweighed the inquiry when I went past my 30 day grace period from the first mortgage try inquiries. That's a little scary TBH when tiers are in 20ish point ranges.
I looked at the SFH in my local good area, then looked at condo in good area, finally settled on starter condo heh. Los Angeles, not quite same issues as NYC in housing but I can empathize.
