Has anyone financed a property Partial VA/Conventional

Trying to maximize my VA benefits by utilizing the remaining entitlement. It isn't enough to cover the entire loan amount but I was told it is possible to cover the rest with a conventional loan as long as I brought 20% of the amount being financed conventionally.

example- have used 418k of the 552k entitlement. Have 134k in VA entitlement remaining. Looking to purchase a property for 284k. Would like to finance this 134k VA, 150k conventional.

Is this possible? Has anyone ever attempted this?

@Jason Avila

If you are still in California have you tried using the CalVet Loan and also Navy Federal Credit Union the also? I found out recently that they actually are open to someone having VA Loan and one of their loans at the same time.

You can't use Calvet and NFCU for a multifamily.......but if you buy an SFR that has an in law unit (and you happen to come up with the idea afterwards to put a renter in the in law unit) then you can utilize that as well.
