Syndication or Partnership?

[Brittany Sanchez]

Greetings BP Community!

There is a 21-unit apartment building that is for sale in my area. The owner is willing to do Seller Financing with $200,000 down. The problem is my husband and I don't have $200,000 cash (banks want around the same amount for the down payment and closing costs). I haven't put in an offer yet because I don't want to waste the seller's and our time if we cannot even secure the financing for the acquisition. 

To raise the funds/obtain the property, would it be best to form a syndication or a partnership? 

Thanks in Advance! :)
