Try applying for credit cards from companies like
Capital One, Providian, Next Card. They have higher interest rates but will extend credit to people with no credit history or bad credit.

How do I start building a line of credit so I can get lender financing if I need to?
When I moved into this apartment from living at home six months ago, they told me I had “no credit history.” When I apply for credit cards, I get application-denied letters sent back saying things like, “INSUFFICIENT CREDIT EXPERIENCE.”
It’s seems to me that this is something I should work at all throughout my real estate education, starting immediately.
One more thing: I’m told there is “commercial” credit and a personal credit. What does that mean, and how should I take that into consideration when trying to build credit?
