Should i get a deduction for down payment of a new home being built

No, there is no deduction for the purchase of a personal residence, including any down payment.  The purchase of a personal residence, not used as a rental or in a business, is not reported on a tax return.

There is no deduction for that.

No.   There is no deduction for your down payment, not when you are building and not later.

The down payment will just be part of your total cost when you sell it.
