when I was 18 I bought a car for $2,500 via a co signed bank loan. I paid that off then later bought a truck for about $5k via another bank loan when I was about 20. I had 1 credit card with a limit of $2500 that I paid off every month. (limit started @ $500 but was increased because I made payments on time)

On my 21th birthday I bought a house with only $2k down and no co signer needed. (was in 98-99 or so).

Simply put get a loan or two and pay it off on time or faster. They likely wont get the first loan without a co-signer.
