The 20% is a required for Citizens Bank, (conventional type loans) Anything over 80% loans require PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance, if you default it will pay off loan).
I don't think The Developers in TV will allow a VA loan. The seller has to put up a certain amount for someone to get one and they won't put up the money. Seems to me I read this somewhere, but I guess I could have dreamed it.
