Conventional loan requirements for 5% down?

Does anyone know the requirements for a conventional mortgage with 5% down payment? I believe that lenders have different rules and requirements. I have an FHA loan on a duplex I currently live in and one lender told me I need to put a 10% down. by hutton8 from Georgetown, Kentucky. Feb 15th 2022 Reply

For an owner-occupied single-family dwelling (SFR, Townhome or Condo), the minimum down payment of 5% is available. Credit scores would need to be 680 or above and your total DTI would need to be below 45%. Including the debt on your other property.

Your standard cookie cutter conforming loan (under $647,200 in most areas) starts at just 3% down payment. FHA starts at 3.5% down. Multi-family properties are going to be higher on a conventional loan, but FHA multi-family is still only 3.5% - but you have to live on one side. I lend in MN WI IA ND SD.
