The short version

James E Yu is listed as an executive officer, director, and promoter on 5 SEC Form D filings by 4 issuers between Jun 2016 and Aug 2017: Elevation Homes Investors Project III, LP (Las Vegas, NV — residential — 2016; $1.87M reported sold to 10 investors), Elevation Homes, LLC (Las Vegas, NV — residential — 2016–2017; $1.49M reported sold to 7 investors), Elevation Homes Investors Project IV LLC (Las Vegas, NV — residential — 2017; $1.15M reported sold to 9 investors) and Elevation Homes Investors Project II, LP (Las Vegas, NV — residential — 2016; $1M reported sold to 10 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 4 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer, director, and promoter. Across those companies the filings report $5.51M sold in total.

Listed alongside Curtis C Cline (5 shared filings) and Peter Liou (5 shared filings).

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

All 4 issuers belong to the sponsor group Elevation Homes (6 issuers, $7.14M reported sold, 2016–2018).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Elevation Homes has 6 companies on file and $7.14M 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 (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 5 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 5 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 5 public filings for James E Yu and found 5 differences: Offering amount changed between filings; No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open; 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

5 differences found between the filings for James E Yu (compared 5 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Dec 8, 2016 – Apr 21, 2017

Offering amount changed between filings — Elevation Homes, LLC

The Dec 8, 2016 filing says $1,000,000 offered; the Apr 21, 2017 Form D/A says $2,000,000.

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 · Dec 1, 2016 – Apr 21, 2017

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Elevation Homes, LLC (latest filing Apr 21, 2017)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Apr 21, 2017 (first sale Dec 1, 2016). It reports $1,492,500 sold of $2,000,000 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.

Sources
Note · Jun 1, 2016 – Jun 8, 2016

James E Yu is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "James E Yu" on 3 filings (from Jun 1, 2016), and "James Yu" on 2 filings (from Jun 8, 2016).

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
Note · Jun 30, 2026

Same name, different state: "James Yu" (NY) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is NV. A separate record, "James Yu" with address state NY, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by EQT Private Equity Co LLC (Jun 30, 2026). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Jun 1, 2016 to Apr 21, 2017; the other has one filing dated Jun 30, 2026.

What this means Could be the same person who moved, or two people with the same name. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

Sources
Note · Nov 9, 2011

Same name, different state: "James Yu" (CA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is NV. A separate record, "James Yu" with address state CA, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by Parse, Inc. (Nov 9, 2011). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Jun 1, 2016 to Apr 21, 2017; the other has one filing dated Nov 9, 2011.

What this means Could be the same person who moved, or two people with the same name. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

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

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.
