Credit Score Tips for New US Residents

Dear Opening Credits,
I came to United States from Bermuda in May 2011, and was able to obtain a credit card with HSBC with a $10,000 limit as they gave me the benefit of my good credit history with HSBC Bermuda. When I see my credit report at Credit Karma, I see that though my score is 731, I am penalized for average age of my credit lines and numbers/type of credit accounts. If I open new credit accounts, it will improve my utilization ratio and number of credit lines available. However, it would decrease my average history and increase the number of hard inquiries. I do not need to borrow now, but would need a good credit score in a few years to finance a house. Keeping this in perspective, should I start applying for new credit/charge cards?

One month ago I received a letter in the mail from my credit card company. It politely notified me that my recent credit card application did not match my current address listed on my account.
The problem was that because I was committed to staying out of credit card debt , I hadn’t filled out a credit card application in over two years!
