Credit History

It would be worth adding a note about Credit history and some simple steps you can do to start establishing a good one. I recall getting a joint-loan with my wife (girlfriend at the time) to get things started. I'm sure there are many other ways.



Secured (not pre-paid) credit cards worked for me.


Do you know of a no-fee secured credit card that is easy for a foreigners apply for online?


This worked for me: https://www.capitalone.com/credit-cards/secured-mastercard/

There is a fee though. Plus of course, you have to secure the card. I deposited $500 and initially got a credit line of $700. A few months later it was bumped up to $1300.
