Conventional or FHA loan question...?

Im sorry if Im asking the same questions over again but I need some help! Considering the new FHA rules going in effect on June 1st and me getting ready to apply right after that I don't know which is the right way to go? I can do 5% down and my middle score is 728. Is it possible to go conventional with that kind of down payment or its just a myth? What's the right way to go? One more questions if you guys don't mind do I need at least two years employment with the same company or in the same field? Thanks a lot in advance!

Re: Conventional or FHA loan question...?

You can go conventional with as low as 3 percent down with a 680 score.

 

You need your work experience in the same field.

employment:

you can leave your job as a plumber and get a new job as a plumber with new company... and you are ok

cannot leave job as plumber and then take accountant job with same company...

 

did that make sense?
