RIA principal mortgage from a lender who reads Registered Investment Advisor S-corp principal W-2 + K-1 partnership distribution, AUM-based recurring revenue continuity, Form ADV documentation, PE consolidator rollover equity, post-sale Asset-Depletion on practice exit proceeds, and Investment Advisers Act of 1940 fiduciary standard practice ownership as one income picture.

"Junior RIA principal at a fiduciary-only Registered Investment Advisor firm for 4 years following 8 years at major wirehouse as Senior Vice President of Wealth Management. Successfully transitioned approximately $95M of book during RIA breakaway, currently $135M AUM at the new RIA practice with steady organic growth through referrals from existing client base. Practice structured as S-corp (Form 1120-S) with W-2 reasonable compensation $175K + K-1 distributions averaging $215K over the 2-year period from remaining net practice income. AUM-based recurring revenue at blended 0.85% advisory fee producing $1.15M annual recurring revenue. Plus substantial entity-level Form 1084 cash-flow addbacks recovering office equipment depreciation, technology platform amortization (Orion, Tamarac portfolio management subscriptions), and amortization of practice formation intangibles from breakaway period. Active CFP credential plus Series 65 Investment Adviser Representative status plus current Florida insurance license. Form ADV Part 1 + Part 2A brochure filed with state securities board (currently under SEC $100M-$110M threshold but approaching). The first lender pulled the S-corp 1120-S returns and saw the substantial Form 1084 addback components, called the AUM-based fee revenue ‘variable not stable’ despite the multi-year recurring revenue continuity tied to the established client book, refused to apply entity-level cash-flow addbacks, and offered me $885K Jumbo. Jim’s team applied Form 1084 cash-flow addbacks systematically at the S-corp level recovering the non-cash components under B3-3.4-02, documented the 4-year RIA principal continuity following the wirehouse breakaway, the AUM-based recurring revenue stream with multi-year client retention, the active CFP and Series 65 credentialing, and the Form ADV filing supporting the practice maturity narrative. $1.35M close Conventional Jumbo on a Coral Springs home in 40 days."

"Senior Managing Partner at SEC-registered RIA partnership for 12 years following founding-partner role at the firm formation. Firm currently $785M AUM across 4 senior partners and 6 junior partners and 9 staff advisors supporting approximately 425 client relationships. Partnership structured as Form 1065 LLC with tenure-weighted base allocation + book-of-business contribution allocation methodology. K-1 partnership distribution averaging $1.45M over the 2-year period from the partnership Form 1065 return.

AUM-based recurring revenue at blended 0.75% advisory fee at the firm level producing approximately $5.9M annual recurring revenue with substantial referral-driven organic growth. Active CFP credential plus 25+ years industry experience plus active Florida insurance license. SEC RIA registration with Form ADV Part 1 + Part 2A brochure filed annually. Schwab Advisor Services as primary custodian. The first lender pulled the partnership Form 1065 return with K-1 showing the principal distribution, classified the K-1 as ‘variable partnership distribution not stable for jumbo qualifying,’ refused to apply Form 1084 cash-flow addbacks at the partnership level for the firm-level depreciation and amortization, and offered me $1.65M Jumbo based on conservative K-1 alone treatment. Jim’s team documented the partnership agreement with the tenure-weighted base and book-of-business allocation framework, the 12-year continuous senior partner status, the partnership Schedule L (balance sheet) for partnership-level Form 1084 cash-flow addback analysis recovering depreciation and amortization at the firm level, the capital account history, the AUM-based recurring revenue continuity at the $785M practice volume, and the SEC RIA registration. $2.25M close Conventional Jumbo on a Bay Colony home in 42 days."

"Post-consolidator-sale RIA principal following acquisition of my $385M AUM SEC-registered RIA practice by major PE-backed RIA consolidator 18 months ago. Transaction structured as $24.5M total consideration combining $14.2M cash at close + $6.3M rollover equity in the consolidator parent entity (with 4-year vesting schedule) + $4.0M multi-year earnout (3 years post-close tied to retained AUM milestones and operating performance at the acquired practice). Practice valuation at 8.5x annual recurring revenue ($2.9M ARR at acquisition) reflecting the active PE-backed consolidator transaction market multiples. Plus continuing operating role at the acquired consolidator as Senior Wealth Advisor on the acquired client base, current W-2 $385K + annual bonus $65K reflecting retained-book performance compensation. Plus continuing AUM-based participation fee on the retained book. The first lender saw the recent W-2 history (only 18 months at new consolidator employer post-acquisition) and the substantial cash proceeds + earnout + rollover equity structure, offered me $1.45M Jumbo based on current W-2 alone, refused to consider the Asset-Depletion path on the $14.2M cash proceeds, refused the earnout as ‘contingent future not stable for qualifying,’ and refused the rollover equity as ‘speculative future stock’ despite the documented 4-year vesting schedule. Jim’s team applied Asset-Depletion Non-QM on the $14.2M cash proceeds amortizing to approximately $39,400/month implied monthly income, documented the multi-year earnout under B3-3.1-09 with the acquisition agreement payment schedule tied to retained AUM milestones, the rollover equity vesting schedule, the continuing operating role W-2 at the acquired consolidator. $2.85M close Asset-Depletion Non-QM with multi-source documentation on a Plantation home in 41 days."
