Here's exactly how I built my credit. Every 6 months, I opened up 1 to 3 new credit cards. I know this sounds crazy, but it worked. I would then receive those credit cards and start using them, and I would pay off the balances every single month. 6 months later, I would get another 2 credit cards. Another 6 months, I'd get another credit card. 2 of the largest contributing factors to your credit is number of accounts and utilization on those accounts. I used them like a debit card, but over about 2 to 3 years, my credit score jumped to well over 700, and I was able to go qualify now for rental properties.
