The short version

David Faris is listed as an executive officer on 8 SEC Form D filings by 4 issuers between Jun 2012 and Oct 2026: Salem Investment Partners VI, LP (Greensboro, NC — industry reported as "Other" — 2023–2026; $85.7M reported sold to 113 investors), Salem Investment Partners IV, Limited Partnership (Winston Salem, NC — pooled investment fund — 2015; $56.1M reported sold to 106 investors), SALEM INVESTMENT PARTNERS V, LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (Greensboro, NC — industry reported as "Other" — 2020–2021; $52M reported sold to 84 investors) and Salem Investment Partners III, Limited Partnership (Winston Salem, NC — pooled investment fund — 2012–2013; $39M reported sold to 102 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 4 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, over about 14 years. Across those companies the filings report $232.9M sold in total.

Listed alongside Kevin Jessup (8 shared filings), David Bradley Morton (5 shared filings), Phillip Martin (5 shared filings), William Boyd (3 shared filings), Bradley SIP VI Management, LLC (2 shared filings, management entity) and 4 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around David. Each name links to their own page.

All 4 issuers belong to the sponsor group Salem (5 issuers, $234.3M reported sold, 2012–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Salem has 5 companies on file and $234.3M reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 1 court case matching the name, 7 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 8 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 8 public filings for David Faris and found 6 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 238 days after the first sale; 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.

4. Differences between public sources

Comparisons cover issuers and sponsor groups — see the issuer pages under Deals

6 differences found between the filings for David Faris — 1 worth asking about (compared 8 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · May 30, 2017 – Sep 16, 2019

Bankruptcy case: Tanner Companies, LLC v. Salem Investment Partners III, Limited Partnership — filed May 30, 2017

United States Bankruptcy Court, W.D. North Carolina docket "Tanner Companies, LLC v. Salem Investment Partners III, Limited Partnership" filed May 30, 2017, closed Sep 16, 2019. Salem Investment Partners III, Limited Partnership (related issuer) is listed as Defendant ("Salem Investment Partners III, Limited Partnership"). Our match estimate: 60%.

What this means A bankruptcy filing was found. Many are old or personal and have nothing to do with the deal — but ask what it was and when it closed.

Sources
Worth asking · Oct 31, 2011 – Jun 25, 2012

Form D filed 238 days after the first sale — Salem Investment Partners III, Limited Partnership

The filing says the first sale was Oct 31, 2011. The Form D was filed Jun 25, 2012 — 238 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 223 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Sources
Note · Nov 9, 2020 – Mar 1, 2021

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — SALEM INVESTMENT PARTNERS V, LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (latest filing Mar 1, 2021)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Mar 1, 2021 (first sale Nov 9, 2020). It reports $52,010,000 sold of an indefinite amount 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.

Sources
Note · Jun 25, 2012 – Feb 26, 2013

Offering amount changed between filings — Salem Investment Partners III, Limited Partnership

The Jun 25, 2012 filing says an indefinite amount offered; the Feb 26, 2013 Form D/A says $39,032,000.

What this means The target raise changed. Raising the cap is common when a deal grows; ask whether the extra money has the same terms and use.

Sources
Note · Nov 19, 2020 – Mar 1, 2021

Minimum investment changed between filings — SALEM INVESTMENT PARTNERS V, LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

The Nov 19, 2020 filing lists a minimum of $100,000; the Mar 1, 2021 Form D/A lists $50,000.

What this means A different minimum usually means the offering terms changed. Check which terms apply to you.

Sources
Note · Jun 25, 2012 – Jun 18, 2015

David Faris is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "David Faris" on 7 filings (from Jun 25, 2012), and "David M. Faris" on the Jun 18, 2015 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.

Sources
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.

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 every filing this person is listed on (latest filing per offering, per issuer).
