HomePath LTV 70%?

I have been reading about the HomePath investor loans and went to their website today to learn more.  Under "more information" for investors, I found this:

"Benefits to you, the investor:

  • Up to 20 financed 1- to 4-unit properties
  • Individual and LLC borrowers eligible
  • Loan to value max 70%
  • No lender-requested appraisal
  • Flexible mortgage terms (fixed-rate, adjustable rate)"

I would presume that the purchase price would be considered the "value"; is that correct? If so, then 10% down would give you a 90% LTV. Have HomePath's terms for investors changed, or am I misunderstanding how the 10% down relates to the 70% LTV?

On another thread, I read this link which was very informative, but does not address this financing issue:
