Pay down your current card to less than $5.00. When your credit card reports to the bureaus next month, your utilization will be in the target 0-9% area. That should gain you enough points.

This one is very easy. Op wrote, "500 credit limit and have 480 used". Paying down card debt will gain you well more than 8 points. Smiley Happy Lots more!!!

Do you mind tell me who is giving out non-occupied loans at a 560?

Chase is doing it for 560.  Nationstar is doing 560 as well.  Countrywide is 620.  Washington Mutual is 600.  Hopefully that helps you out.

You pay the mortgage- but do not live there.

Usually a rental or investment property.
