Can I do a conventional loan with less than 10% down? I'm looking to purchase a second property (non-owner occupied)

No.. For primary residence, you can do 5% down (3% if your a first time home buyer), but for investment properties, you have to put 20% down, but ideally, 25% (financing terms favor larger down payments). In addition to the down payment, you also have to have 6 months finance reserves which is an amount in a bank account equal to 6 months investment property mortgage payments. There might be some "Portfolio" type loan products that allow for lower down payments, but I highly doubt it.. and even if they did, the interest rate, terms and fees would be much higher making it really not worth doing.

For a 1-unit investment property, you should be able to find a program that will allow 15% downpayment. For a second home, it could be as little as 10% down.
