Welcome to the USA.

To build up credit, you must develop a history of responsible use of credit.  A credit card, a car loan paid on time consistently are a good start.

Employment history of at least a couple of years in the US is also important when applying for loans.

While working on these two, you will have a chance to build up a down payment, if you don't have one yet.   A 20% downpayment is a good target, although there may be some loans available with 3.5 to 5.0% down.
