@Jay HinrichsI agree with some of what you said but believe that you let your emotions get the better of you.You only tried to turn the tables instead of addressing the issue.

A client of mine bought a 60 unit and had to put up 20,000 to the city as they handled water,power,trash etc.

The monthly income is $1800 and cost for the mortgage, taxes, insurance, water bill and repayment of the ten thousand still leaves me with $652.15 a month!

Also I am a carpenter so I may be new but I ha e skills to bring to the table that may be able to help you out!  

@Darwin Verdugoif he has the cash and you have the experience, you are both bringing something of value to the table.

I do not know anyone that thinks Dricore is worth the money in our area.To me it seems like it would cause a huge increase in the wicking of water into the sheetrock if there was a leak.Where would the moisture go if you seal off the 1/4 inch gap around the edge with vinyl?

HOA fees are $250 per unit and pays for insurance, outside buildings maintenance (including roof), Gas and Water.

Seeing that you already put an offer on the table at 170K, I'd say stick with that if you feel that it's a great deal regardless.

Besides leaving the deal on the table, what other options do I have?

Electricity is split out by tenant, but domestic water is not.
