Trying to get above 740 for a cash out loan

[usermi]

While shopping to do a cash out from an investment property my credit score (mortgage related scores) stumbled from 750 middle score about 2-3 months ago to 722  2 days ago, not sure if a new SBA Loan for 25K and over 8-10 inquiries made my score drop about 30 points (while my other debt apart from this went down). My question is what would you guys do to try to get my score over 740 in a month so I can get the best refi rate, what would you pay off from below with 5K? Thank you!

IME, the mortgage scores despise new accounts and balances on multiple cards.

 

Could you list the limits on those revolvers?  Revolving utilization is a big factor also. 

 

My first instinct for the $5k was to wipe out the entire $1,294 Best Buy balance, but that's without knowing anything about your per-card utilization.  How many open cards do you have reporting without balances?

 

Separately is the SBA loan even reporting on your personal credit?  And inquiries aren't going to cause a 30-point drop.  

 

Also, if you only have a month there may not be time for the accounts to update the bureaus no matter what you do, although some companies and be persuaded to update your balance with the bureaus mid-cycle. 

 

And there's always Rapid Rescore (assuming your originator is willing to pay for it).
