    @Nattapon Permchom this one might be a challenge.  Even with loans that don't conform to Fannie/Freddie guidelines they usually need a pretty decent credit score.  Do you know why your score is "lower"?  Sometimes lenders have a program that can show you how to improve your score X amount of points with a few thousand of paying down debt. That might be an easier route if it's possible.

    This is gonna be rough. I highly recommend you bring your utilization down from 4% and work your way down to 2.5% (make sure your payment is submitted 2 days before your credit card company's statement date).

    I've seen 680s jump to 750 within 3 months.

    If you have debt it is best to hire an attorney to deal with it or fight the debt yourself and require a written email stating they will remove the inquiry from your credit report after you have paid X% of the debt you owe (you can usually settle for a huge discount).

    @Nattapon Permchom  You are not far away from target score. Have you try to raise the score with rapid scoring? Ask your lender if they can help you.
