Default Questions about down payment for 2nd property

Hello, I have a question about down payment.

I am planning to get married and both myself and my fiance each own a condo (hers has paid off more than mine, we both have remaining mortgage balances).

We are thinking of buying a house together, but still want to keep the 2 condos as rental properties. What will be the minimum down payment requirement for the new house purchase? Is it the same 5% for first $500k and then 10% after, etc? Or will it be looked at as buying new rental properties and require something like 25%-30% down payment? How do the mortgage qualification calculations work for our situation?

Thank you.
