The short version

Midwest is a sponsor group of 2 issuers that PartnerFacts links to one sponsor (shared people, same business address; automatic match from the filings), filing 4 Form D filings between Oct 2009 and Mar 2016.

What this means One team, 2 deal companies, about 7 years of track record in SEC filings. We link the companies because the same people or address appear on their forms — tap "Request a correction" if that is wrong.

Combined reported sold: $252K to 4 investors (latest filing per issuer). Industries as reported: Investing (1), Other Real Estate (1). Issuers are based in NE (2).

What this means $252K raised across the group, about $63K per investor. Amounts come from each company's latest Form D; they are what the sponsor reported, not audited figures.

Principal people: William B. Preston (2 issuers, executive officer and promoter), Christenson Chris (1 issuer, promoter), Michael Preston (1 issuer, promoter), PWC (1 issuer, executive officer, entity), Thomas C. Smith (1 issuer, executive officer) and 1 more.

What this means The person on the most companies is usually the one running the show; their page lists every deal.

Activity: 0 new offerings in the last 12 months; latest filing Mar 10, 2016.

What this means No new raise filed in the past year.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, DE, FINRA, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY), property records (NYC, FL, IL and TX counties) — 24 court cases matching the name, 7 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 31 records came back. Each one is listed below with a link to the original document and a line saying why it matched. A name match is not proof it is the same person or company — read the why line and the document. Being sued or named in a release is an accusation, not a finding.

We compared 4 public filings for Midwest and found 4 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Thomas C. Smith is no longer listed on the Oct 22, 2009 amendment; and more below.

What this means These are differences between the sponsor's own SEC filings — both values, dates and sources are listed in Key records, section 4. Most have ordinary explanations; ask the sponsor.

Midwest includes 2 deals that stopped filing before reaching their target

PWC Real Estate Value Fund I LLC (last filing Mar 10, 2016; $0 sold of $5,000,000); MIDWEST FIRST FINANCIAL L P IV (last filing Oct 22, 2009; $251,540 sold of $3,000,000). Each has no filing in more than two years and reported under half its target sold.

What this means An issuer whose last filing is more than two years old and reported under half its target sold. The raise may have closed early or quietly stopped. Ask what happened to each.

Note · Oct 12, 2009 – Oct 22, 2009

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — MIDWEST FIRST FINANCIAL L P IV (latest filing Oct 22, 2009)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Oct 22, 2009 (first sale Oct 12, 2009). It reports $251,540 sold of $3,000,000 offered. No later amendment is in our index as of Oct 24, 2026.

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. The raise may simply have ended — a Form D does not say when it closed. Ask the sponsor whether the offering closed, when, and at what amount.

Worth asking · Oct 21, 2009 – Oct 22, 2009

Thomas C. Smith is no longer listed on the Oct 22, 2009 amendment — MIDWEST FIRST FINANCIAL L P IV

Thomas C. Smith appears on the Oct 21, 2009 Form D/A (executive officer) but not on the Oct 22, 2009 Form D/A for the same offering.

What this means People leave, and the issuer must list only current officers, directors and promoters. It is still worth asking why this person left and who replaced them.

Note · Oct 20, 2009 – Mar 10, 2016

William B. Preston is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "William B. Preston" on 3 filings (from Oct 20, 2009), and "William Preston" on the Mar 10, 2016 filing.

What this means Same person, written differently — a middle name or suffix left off, or spelled another way. It is normal, but check that the full legal name matches your subscription documents.

What is compared

What is compared: every Form D and D/A we hold for this subject, side by side — filing dates vs. first-sale dates (the 15-day rule), amendment timing on open offerings (the yearly-amendment expectation), amounts sold, investor counts, offering amounts and minimums across amendments, industry and size bands, addresses, how each person's name and role is written, paid sellers' CRD numbers, and (for groups) where the member companies were formed and sit. Everything is as filed by the issuer; the SEC does not check it. Differences are common and usually have ordinary explanations — we show both values, the dates, and the source so you can ask. As of Oct 24, 2026.

5. Money to insiders

1 of 2 offerings reports sales commissions totalling $60,000; 0 report finder's fees; 1 reports proceeds to related persons totalling $100,000. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

Offering (latest filing)	Sales commissions	Finder's fees	To insiders	Paid to sell it	Source
Mar 10, 2016 D PWC Real Estate Value Fund I LLC File 021-258982	$0	$0 (est.)	$100,000 (est.)	None listed on this filing	EDGAR ↗

How this is counted

Counts come from Form D Items 12–15 on the filings in our index (latest filing per offering; one offering = one SEC file number; an amendment updates its offering rather than adding one). "To insiders" = gross proceeds used for payments to executive officers, directors or promoters. "—" = not reported on that filing. Amounts marked (est.) were reported as estimates. "Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.

Counted across all 2 issuers in this group — every filing in our index, latest filing per offering (SEC file number).

Registries of other states have not been searched: many publish no bulk file and require a CAPTCHA or bot challenge on their search page, which we do not bypass (Delaware, for example, offers no public bulk file). A registry listing is the state's own record of the entity; it says nothing about the offering itself.
