partnering with people to buy commercial building?
Is it legal to raise funds for an apartment building? or do i need to be a syndicated investor.
My plan is to get a commercial loan, and partner up with multiple people for the 20% down payment...
Now, Not that i would..... BUTTT! Could i partner up with 20 people all putting in 1k each to fund 20k of a 100k building?

@Account Closed more important than the amount of money you raise, is how active the investors are in the deal. If those investors are passive, meaning they have no role in the operations of the property and expect to collect cash flow from your managing efforts, then you're looking at syndication. If all 20 partners have a substantial role in operating and managing the property, then you're good.
