The short version

Michael Avery is listed as an executive officer on 3 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Jul 2021 and Sep 2021: GV Riley's & Pierce Park, LLC (Hermosa Beach, CA — commercial — 2021; $1.15M reported sold to 24 investors), GV Columbia Falls, LLC (Columbia Falls, MT — commercial — 2021; $865K reported sold to 22 investors) and GV Kiwanis Apartments, LLC (Missoula, MT — commercial — 2021; $795K reported sold to 19 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer. Across those companies the filings report $2.81M sold in total.

Listed alongside Edward Laurance (3 shared filings) and James Mosier (3 shared filings).

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

All 3 issuers belong to the sponsor group Group linked by James Mosier (8 issuers, $10.5M reported sold, 2021–2026).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Group linked by James Mosier has 8 companies on file and $10.5M 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) — 2 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 2 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 3 public filings for Michael Avery and found 7 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Paid seller listed without a CRD number: DAAC, LLP; 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.

Form D filed 41 days after the first sale — GV Riley's & Pierce Park, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Jul 23, 2021. The Form D was filed Sep 2, 2021 — 41 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 26 days past that.

What this means A late notice is common and carries no penalty by itself. It is worth asking the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Same name, different state: "Michael L. Avery" (KS) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA or MT. A separate record, "Michael L. Avery" with address state KS, is listed on 7 filings — most recently by Waddell & Reed Asset Strategy Fund, LLC (Nov 12, 2015). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Jul 21, 2021 to Jul 26, 2021; the other runs Aug 27, 2009 to Nov 12, 2015.

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.

Note · Jul 21, 2021 – Sep 2, 2021

Michael Avery is listed with 2 different address states: MT, CA

MT on 2 filings (Jul 21, 2021 to Jul 26, 2021); CA on 1 filing (Sep 2, 2021).

What this means The address on a Form D is usually the company's, not the person's home, so this often just reflects different companies. It can also mean a move. Nothing wrong by itself.

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

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).
