Default Building Credit

Help!!! How do u do it? I have chitloads of money, but can't get a mortgage, creditcard, or even rent an apartment. Any tips?

Example. I tried to buy a "trailer poo-hole" house in boo-foo (Dekalb, Il) as an investment property (it was a SMALL house, but it was commercially zoned in an area which is expected to have a boom). I was going to put down 20k for a 70k house, and they wouldn't give me a 50k loan. Problem-- i have ZERO, meaning no numbers show up, credit, and i have no way to PROVE my income. This will be the first year i file a tax return (as a hobby, not pro). I just turned 22, and i do the unmentionable act<font color="white"> Poker </font> to make my money... suggestions? ideas? questions?
