Hi John,
The property that you “need to buy”, is it going to be for your own home, or a house for an investment?
If this is your home, then you can find lenders that will allow a CLTV (Combination of Loan To Value, ie how much of the sales price you can borrow, total.) But then, most lenders that offer 100% CLTV, will have plans that include 80/20 loans, and the nice thing there is that you would be just dealing with one lender. Finance costs etc would be lower. If this is an investment property, it is going to be very difficult to get a lender that will allow an 80/20 or a 100% CLTV.

Why would you want to incur extra costs of using multiple lenders? Your best bet would be to go with an 80/20 through one vendor and avoid pmi or any extra costs.
If you would like more assistance please feel free to email or IM me.
