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?

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.
