There is extraordinary differences on the legal/compliance side between the two.For a syndication, offering equity for investors is the most common way.There are many different fees and structures you can go with.I suggest learning the underwriting side of syndication deals before engaging an attorney.

I do realize there are exceptions and some sub to may offer low down payment but I suspect by the time you limit to sub to and low down, you are likely at 0.1% of offerings.

Thank you for all of your insight!
