The only way I've seen that possible is if you got the property at a big discount; are rehabbing to fix and flip; and willing to use hard money.
Some hard money guys will do up to 90% of the purchase if you're buying at 60 to 65% of the ARV (After Repair Value). So if you buy something at $100k, and it will be worth about $200k after you put rehab money into it, you're at 50% ARV. Some of the hard money guys will require 10, 15, 20% "skin in the game" as long as you show you have the reserves.
However, on buy and hold, which I suspect you're more interested in, I just don't think that exists with 10% down. If you qualify, you can get investor property financing on your third property from banks at 85%ltv (15% down) for SFR, and 75% (25% down) for 2 to 4 units.
