The short version

ROBERT L. WARD is listed as an executive officer and director on 6 SEC Form D filings by 6 issuers between Sep 2013 and Aug 2016. Largest by amount reported sold: WDP 17600 LLC (Phoenix, AZ — other real estate — 2013; $16M reported sold to 47 investors), WDP DESERT DRIVE LLC (Phoenix, AZ — other real estate — 2013; $6.55M reported sold to 39 investors), WDP PAPAGO LLC (Phoenix, AZ — other real estate — 2013; $6.06M reported sold to 42 investors), WDP 7TH STREET LLC (Phoenix, AZ — other real estate — 2013; $5.1M reported sold to 38 investors), WDP BILTMORE STORAGE LLC (Phoenix, AZ — industry reported as "Other" — 2016; $4.5M reported sold to 34 investors) and 1 more (all listed below).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 6 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 3 years. Across those companies the filings report $40.7M sold in total.

Listed alongside GILBERT W. CHESTER (6 shared filings), ROBERT G. MAYHALL (6 shared filings), JOHN F. RASOR (4 shared filings), TODD W CHESTER (2 shared filings), JOHN G. RASOR (1 shared filing) and 1 others.

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

All 6 issuers belong to the sponsor group Wdp (6 issuers, $40.7M reported sold, 2013–2016).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Wdp has 6 companies on file and $40.7M 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 SEC releases 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 6 public filings for ROBERT L. WARD and found 8 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: 5 Form Ds were filed more than 15 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.

Worth asking · Nov 12, 2010 – Aug 30, 2016

5 Form Ds were filed more than 15 days after the first sale

Form D filed 1,036 days after the first sale — WDP 17600 LLC · Form D filed 463 days after the first sale — WDP PAPAGO LLC · Form D filed 134 days after the first sale — WDP DESERT DRIVE LLC · Form D filed 504 days after the first sale — WDP 7TH STREET LLC · Form D filed 39 days after the first sale — WDP BILTMORE STORAGE LLC

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — WDP PAPAGO LLC (latest filing Sep 12, 2013)

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).
