With a VA nothing down. If you’re putting something down, don’t do a VA and waste the VA funding fee.

I got that, but if I don't have 20% for a conventional, then I'm paying PMI - and I have no idea how expensive that's going to be for a Jumbo. If I can bring at least 5% down, then the VA fee is under 2 points. If I could do a full 20%, I might comparison shop for rates/total cost, but if under 20% (I'm likely going to be closer to 11 or 12 percent unless we push it off a year), I'm leaning VA if it is doable.

I'm doing things the hard, hard way - land loan, Construction, Jumbo, VA - but at $200/sq foot to build, what else is there to do?
