Cash vs. 20% seller financing... How do you deal?!?

Cash vs. 20% seller financing... How do you deal?!?

I found a 9 unit that the owner is asking 199k but said it is definitely negotiable.  The owner is also open to taking a 20% second mortgage back.

I told her I plan to write two offers, one for all cash and one with a 20% second mortgage.

My question is what do you suggest I offer for each?  Based on the income, location, and condition of the property I think it's work 199k, but also want to get the best deal possible (and the owner even said she understands I'm looking to get a good deal). 

I was thinking 150k all cash or 180k with a 20% seller second at 10% interest.

Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated and I thank you in advance!

    @Johann Kleisch First, be ready to walk on this deal.  Second, get away from the whole idea of some negotiation dance and just offer what it is worth to you for cash and what it is worth to you with owner financing.
