What does “insufficient loans secured by real estate” mean when you are rejected for a credit card?

I was rejected a credit card for that specific reason. I don’t own real estate, nor does the credit reporting agency who’s information was used by the bank to see if my credit was good enough have anything about “real estate” in their report. Please let me know if anyone has any insight. Thanks.

How Do I Get into the Real Estate Market?

pink_me asked:

I would like to invest in real estate. I am early 40’s, have no debt, home is paid for, etc. I would like to look into buying real estate. I have spent alot of time looking at the local market and have a good understanding of it. But, at this point, I am not sure what to do next. Should I consider purchasing rental property? If so, should I look at small 2 BR homes, duplexes, or homes? Or should I just look for property that has been sitting on the market for a long time that may need some TLC, etc and then flip them? I have never done that and don’t really have alot of time to spend remodeling so I would have to hire out.
And, the area I live in is a rural , somewhat depressed area. What is your approach to Real Estate?
