My wife and I just built our first home. Our construction loan closed last year. Now that our house is complete, our lender is refinancing our loan into a permanent mortgage. We need to raise both our scores up roughly 10 points each in order to qualify for a conventional loan instead of going FHA.
What can we do to raise our scores fast? We have $6k to pay down on cc's. Should we pay 2 cc balances in full or spread the $6k around each account?
We've had no late payments since 2004. Our revolving cc balances are what is hurting us the most
Scores I've pulled
My TU FICO = 670
Wife's TU FICO = 678
Scores Lender pulled
Mine = 674
Wife's = 672
We are finally homeowners!!
