In general, Andy and Dave are correct. There is a lender, however, that I know of who will do a 90% loan with no MI (Mortgage Insurance) as long as your credit is satisfactory. I hope that you have found the information that you are looking for. Please feel free to contact me if I can answer anything for you more specifically. Best wishes to you as you embark on this purhase!

I agree with earlier statement. These are hard to come by to 90% and the terms on the 2nd would likely be non-favorable regardless.
I would consider reviewing one loan to 90% and compare the different types of private mortgage insurance. (Borrower paid, lender paid, or split/hybrid MI). Comparing each will allow you to determine which one offers the lowest monthly payment and terms for your intended life of this loan.
Hope that helps!

No not really many of these " 80/10/10" options or programs around any longer ....most buyers with 10% down are either needing to pay the monthly mortgage insurance , or use what is called a " lender paid mortgage insurance ( LPMI) program ( which has higher rates) or find some sort of unique program / lender that might have a 90% ltv program that requires no mortgage insurance ( eg. US BANK )

do lenders still do 80% loans with another 10% loan if I have 10% to put down
