Down payment funding reconciliation
Key finding: The $325,000 down payment was NOT wired from the HTC Selco account. Selco statements (MayβDec 2025) show no wire to First American Title. The down payment came from Robert's personal accounts, funded by a mix of Underwood sale proceeds, short-term loan proceeds, and cash on hand. (Note: down payment total corrected to $325,000 per final ALTA purchase price of $1,300,000; source breakdown below approximates to the prior $366,796 figure β precise source allocation for the $325,000 not yet re-reconciled line-by-line.)
Through Selco β deployed to PDT/Alder β repaid β some flowed back to Robert personal via Aaron

Bluevine LOC ($40,175 drawn 6/26/25 via New Leaf Marketing) was separate β repaid weekly through Dec 2025 at ~$5,341 net interest cost. Not directly part of Wilt funding but part of the overall capital recycling.
Title problem β still open
Robert confirmed 9/7/26: All mortgage payments are HTC funds (first few personal, then Selco with reimbursement). This supports HTC as beneficial owner. But title is still Robert personal and FNBA 1098 is issued to Robert's SSN.

Recommended: Land trust with HTC as beneficiary β preserves existing mortgage, achieves beneficial ownership, avoids due-on-sale trigger ($975K acceleration risk).
SPV1 connection
Aaron's net proceeds per ALTA were $557,162. These proceeds were used primarily to repay short-term bridge debt (Derek Ostensen, Hani Abisaid, Mark/Intrepid, Ivan/Athena) that HTC had borrowed mid-2025 to fund the PDT and 808 Alder investments. The $643K HTC Tranche 2 line in SPV1 Exhibit A represents HTC's 808 Alder equity contribution deployed in June 2025 β six months before Wilt closed. The Wilt sale proceeds and the SPV1 $643K are separate capital events with no direct flow between them.
Wilt Rd itself is a separate HTC asset, NOT part of SPV1. SPV1 holds only PDT shares + 808 Alder.
