CA loan requiring 10% down and 80% LTV
DThree separate first mortgages

Explanation

An 80-10-10 'piggyback' loan structure consists of: an 80% first mortgage (avoids PMI), a 10% second mortgage (HELOC or fixed), and a 10% down payment. The structure allows buyers to avoid PMI (which requires 80% LTV on the first mortgage) while using only 10% down.
