Case Studies

Representative engagements

Anonymized examples illustrating how we scope, analyze, and deliver FMV reports across asset types. Details are generalized to protect client confidentiality.

Promissory Note

Non-performing seller-financed note

Situation

An SDIRA held a seller-financed note with 14 months of missed payments and a junior lien on commercial property.

Approach

Modeled discounted cash flow scenarios across cure, modification, and foreclosure outcomes; assessed lien priority and underlying collateral.

Outcome

Issued a defensible FMV with a risk-adjusted opinion the custodian accepted for annual reporting.

IRA-Owned LLC

Checkbook-control LLC with mixed holdings

Situation

A single-member IRA LLC held a rental property, a private note receivable, and cash.

Approach

Valued each underlying holding using the appropriate methodology, then rolled to a net asset value at the entity level.

Outcome

Delivered a consolidated FMV that the custodian accepted with a clear schedule of underlying components.

Private Company Interest

Minority interest in an operating company

Situation

An account held a 6% non-voting interest in a privately held operating business with three years of financials.

Approach

Applied income and market approaches and reconciled, with discounts for lack of marketability and control where supported.

Outcome

Provided an FMV with documented assumptions referenced by the account holder's CPA at filing.
