I can do it with 20% down but I highly doubt you will find a lender doing jumbo loans that large in Southern California who will do that loan with 10% down. Most of the other banks I know of only go to 75% LTV. I would either consider buying a home at $1 Million or trying to come up with an extra down payment. I know it is probably not what you would like to hear, but I just want to give you an honest answer.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.
