Policymaker Optimism for Real Estate Lending Trends Portends Blue Sky Opportunity for Mortgage Loan Facilitator REZYFi, Inc.

  • Real estate market watchers have been encouraged by recent trends in inflationary policy and lending policy analysis
  • The mid-December Consumer Price Index report and the subsequent Federal Reserve funds rate decision fell in line with expectations that inflation may have passed its peak and is beginning to decline
  • Real estate lenders expect mortgage rates to trend lower as a result of the policy news
  • Miami-based REZYFi Inc., a mortgage lender working with traditional loans and non-traditional market sectors such as the cannabis industry, has been preparing to meet a very fast-growing residential mortgage origination opportunity
  • REZYFi is working toward an IPO, having built a network of independent brokers and proprietary technology to service home owners and corporate clients with proprietary automated/machine learning technology
Housing market watchers are celebrating the Federal Reserve’s announcement Dec. 14 that it was going to raise the federal funds rate for the seventh time this year to curb inflation, recognizing that the announcement was in line with predictions that cooling inflation trends could lead to the start of a trend by policymakers to lower the amount of rate increases and thereby begin lowering mortgage rates. After several 75 base points increases this year, December’s 50 base points decision and the companion reports of inflation-limiting successes in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) (https://ibn.fm/Wd4Ma) have led investors to speculate that central bank policymakers would pursue a less aggressive policy path in 2023. As a result, the Mortgage Bankers Association (“MBA”) is predicting that 30-year fixed mortgage rates expected to end this year at 6.7 percent will drop to 5.2 percent next year, according to a HousingWire report (https://ibn.fm/8fur7). Overall mortgage application volume rose 3.2 percent during the week before the coupling of the CPI report and the Fed’s rate announcement, with applications to buy a new home rising 4 percent, and the potential for a positive rate trend is driving hopes that further housing market gains will take place next year. “The ongoing moderation in home-price growth, along with further declines in mortgage rates, may encourage more buyers to return to the market in the coming months,” Joel Kan, an MBA economist, stated (https://ibn.fm/zVq9r). Similar reports of potentially passing peak inflation in Europe cautiously bolster the market expectations on a global level (https://ibn.fm/sh6PS). Real estate-oriented mortgage loan origination company REZYFi has spent the past five years building its strategy to meet a very fast-growing residential mortgage origination opportunity, further encouraged by the early pandemic home sales boom and the now-developing optimism for future market improvements. REZYFi has developed an extensive network of independent mortgage-related brokers and licensed loan officers while investing heavily in proprietary automated/machine learning technology to shorten loan processing timeframes and reduce inefficiencies related to loan processing, underwriting and servicing. The company also is focusing on non-traditional lending markets such as licensed and permitted cannabis companies, as well as owners of real estate who lease to cannabis companies. REZYFi is building toward a planned public IPO launch for its operation, and with its 100 percent-owned subsidiaries REZYFi Lending and ResMac Inc. has established licensing in 36 states with plans to expand across the entire United States.

Data443 Risk Mitigation Inc. (ATDS) Lands $350,000 Add-On Contract, Closing 2022 on a High Note

  • With high-profile hacks abounding in 2022, Gartner forecasts that by 2025, 80% of enterprises will have adopted a strategy to unify web, cloud services, and private application access from a single vendor’s SSE platform
  • Data443 Risk Mitigation offers a comprehensive and diverse software-as-a-service portfolio for data protection that is trusted by some of the world’s biggest companies
  • During the first nine months of 2022, Data443 reported $2.3 million in revenue and $2.7 million in deferred revenue as it transitions customers from a one-time payment model into a recurring revenue model
As 2022 winds down, another year of lessons about data protection is in the books, alongside a year’s worth of notable breaches that made cybercriminals rich while costing economies and businesses billions of dollars. Teenage hacker group Lapsus bursts on the scene, hacking some of the world’s biggest companies, including Microsoft and Samsung. Vice Society hacked the U.S.’s second-biggest school district. Crypto video game company Axie Infinity was pillaged by cybercriminals to the tune of $620 million. Even hackers weren’t safe. Nefarious ransomware group Conti was penetrated by Ukrainian “hacktivists” that released internal content showing how they conduct their criminal enterprise. 2023 will likely be distinguished by a growing number of approaches using consolidated cybersecurity architecture and multi-layer approaches to protect against criminals who are notoriously adept at prying their way through any weakness, like a sentinel in the Matrix. Through strategic acquisitions, Data443 Risk Mitigation (OTC: ATDS) is uniquely positioned to benefit from increased demand for data protection with its portfolio of software solutions, allowing a unified approach to data governance and security. Data443, whose ATDS stock ticker is an acronym for “All Things Data Security(TM),” recently published an Investor Presentation with the SEC, illustrating their efforts to provide software and services to enable secure data across devices and databases, at rest and in transit, locally, on a network, or in the cloud. With over 10,000 customers in over 100 countries, Data443 provides a modern approach to data governance and security by identifying and protecting all sensitive data regardless of location, platform, or format. The Research Triangle Park, North Carolina-based company’s framework helps customers prioritize risk, identify security gaps, and implement effective data protection and privacy management strategies. Data443 can trumpet an expansive list of opportunities for businesses to connect with their security solutions. The possible connectors range from Act CRM to Zuora and include popular platforms, such as Slack, SharePoint, WordPress, PayPal, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, eBay, and hundreds more. In all cases, Data443 solutions are designed for the same purpose: protecting all IT attack surfaces to minimize ransomware threats, data hijacking, and system hacking. In its recent Gartner(R) report, “Predicts 2022: Consolidated Security Platforms Are the Future,” the research firm makes several key findings in the fast-changing threat landscape, including expectations that companies will invest in integrated security approaches. More precisely, Gartner forecasts that by 2025, 8 out of 10 enterprises will have adopted a strategy to unify web, cloud services, and private application access from a single vendor’s SSE (security service edge) platform. That plays right into Data443’s wheelhouse as a provider of à la carte options. The comprehensive offerings can do everything from locating data anywhere, moving it to where it should be to protect it, securely archiving it for a specified time, or even compliantly and permanently destroying it as requested. The diverse offerings appeal to an array of customers for different reasons, such as global fintech (secure data protection, transport, distribution); mid-market (archiving, ransomware protection, content viewing, and distribution); and small-to-medium businesses (plugins and website apps, freemium and badges, privacy compliance). To the SMB point, Data443 has created awareness for its products through a “freemium” marketing strategy that provides plugins to over 200,000 WordPress users. Elsewhere, its Data443® Antivirus Protection Manager earned the prestigious VB100 Certification from Virus Bulletin earlier this year. Employing a growth-by-acquisition strategy along with its organic ways, Data443 in January completed the acquisition of certain assets from Centurion Technologies, namely its ransomware protection and device recovery technologies, along with ancillary assets. The purchase brought Data443(R) the leading technical component to comply with newly established requirements from the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (“CISA”), as mandated by the Biden Administration. The acquisition provides substantial cross-sell opportunities considering Centurion’s products are used worldwide with over three million licenses deployed. For obvious security reasons, Data443 doesn’t disclose the names of most of its clients, but it is clear that some major players trust Data443. Examples from this year include a five-and-a-half-year contract with a “Fortune 500 Fintech Member,” a multi-year contract with a “leading financial services organization in Puerto Rico,” a multi-year contract with a “major US energy provider with over 30,000 employees,” and, only a few weeks ago, a $350,000 contract addition to an existing agreement with “a leading global investment bank headquartered in New York City with over $2 trillion in assets.” The contract relates to additional licensing for the Data443 Data Placement Manager(TM) product, an HPE NonStop server-based application for secure managed file transfer that enables customers to schedule, route, format, and securely transfer business-critical data over both public and private networks. This client has been using Data443 for years, relying upon its data transfer technology to send and receive tens of thousands of files daily, which are the core of the intra-banking relationship for most banks worldwide. In its quarterly update in November, Data443 said that it had retained 99% of its clients this year. Revenue for the year through Q3 was $2.28 million, down some from the previous year as customers took advantage of multi-year contract incentives in 2021, while Data443 transitioned from a one-time payment model to annual maintenance and subscription models. Deferred revenues through September stood at $2.65 million, up more than $1.0 million from the same period in 2021. Observed, “Our results for the third quarter came in largely as expected, and we continue to see high revenue customer retention amidst extremely challenging economic conditions. We continue to focus on realigning our current customer relationships to a subscription and monthly recurring revenue model. While this has affected straight-line revenue growth year-over-year, our increased and growing deferred revenues, diverse revenue base, and increased analyst attention demonstrate our business’s strong momentum.” “Looking ahead, we anticipate ending 2022 on a high note as we continue to work and deliver on renewals and net new opportunities with customers,” said Data443 CEO & Founder Jason Remillard in a statement on the company’s progress this year. “We continue to expand the adoption of our product sets in some of the world’s largest organizations, supporting business-critical data in flight and at rest, in the cloud or on-premises. I am confident that Data443 is well positioned to make the most of the substantial market opportunity before us, continuing our mission: To organize the world’s information by identifying and protecting all sensitive data regardless of location, platform, or format,” he concluded.

HeartBeam Inc. (NASDAQ: BEAT) Granted Patent for Proprietary ECG Smartwatch-Based Monitor Designed for Heart Attack Detection

  • BEAT continues impressive march forward in developing a suite of products designed to detect heart attacks anytime, anywhere
  • Inventions protected by patent enable proprietary 3D vector ECG technology to be built into a smartwatch
  • Projections for global smartwatch and wearables medical-device markets show consistent upward growth

In a world where an estimated 202.6 million people use smartwatches (https://ibn.fm/zb66P), the ability to harness the power of smartwatches to help people live healthier lives can make a profound difference. That’s exactly what HeartBeam (NASDAQ: BEAT), a cardiac technology company with a track record for innovation and cutting-edge technology, hopes to do with its newest patent.

The company announced on November 16, 2022, that it was granted a patent for its 12-lead electrocardiogram (“ECG”) smartwatch-based monitor design to identify heart attacks and complex cardiac arrhythmias (https://ibn.fm/DFeQC).

“The breakthrough inventions protected by this patent enable our proprietary 3D ECG technology to be built into a smartwatch, eliminating the need for a dedicated ECG device while offering a 12-lead ECG capability enabling heart attack and complex arrhythmia detection,” said HeartBeam CEO and founder Branislav Vajdic, PhD. “This patent may prove to be one of the most valuable patents in our rich and growing patent portfolio and, together with our 12-lead ECG patch patent, I believe, will have a disruptive effect on these existing multibillion-dollar fast-growing markets.”

Projections for the global smartwatch market for the next several years show consistent upward growth, boding well for HeartBeam. “Data Bridge Market Research analyses that the smartwatch market was valued at $33,081.86 million in 2022 and is expected to reach $64,480.18 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 8.70% during the forecast period of 2023 to 2030,” reported a recent PR Newswire press release (https://ibn.fm/cWWmX).

In addition, HeartBeam pointed out that the global wearables medical-device market is also expected to see billion-dollar growth, estimated to reach $196 billion by 2030. This space “encompasses a wide variety of capabilities, including diagnostic monitoring such as heart rate and some cardiac arrhythmias, blood pressure, glucose, respiratory, and sleep activity, among others,” the company stated. “Currently available wearables are not capable of providing a 12-lead ECG for heart attack detection, complex arrhythmia monitoring or other cardiac disorders. With cutting-edge, 12-lead ECG based on 3D vector ECG technology built into a smartwatch, HeartBeam’s latest patent further expands on the company’s anytime, anywhere capabilities.”

HeartBeam has developed the first and only 3D-vector ECG platform for heart attack detection anytime, anywhere. By applying a suite of proprietary algorithms to simplify vector electrocardiography, the HeartBeam platform enables patients and their clinicians to determine if symptoms are due to a heart attack, quickly and easily, so care can be expedited, if required.

HeartBeam has two patented products in development: HeartBeam AIMI(TM), software for acute care settings that provides a 3D comparison of baseline and symptomatic 12-lead ECGs to identify a heart attack more accurately, and HeartBeam AIMIGo(TM), the only credit-card-sized, 12-lead output ECG device coupled with a smartphone app and cloud-based diagnostic software system to facilitate remote heart attack detection.

The company noted that, while it is currently focused on the development of these two systems, it is also committed to continue advancing the full potential of cutting-edge, 12-lead 3D vector ECG technology. That commitment is demonstrated by recently issued and allowed patents that appear to have the potential for significant market impacts, including this 12-lead, ECG, smartwatch-based monitor design. HeartBeam AIMI and HeartBeam AIMIGo have not yet been cleared by the US Food and Drug Administration for marketing in the USA or other geographies.

MetAlert, Inc. (MLRT) Going into 2023 in a Much Healthier Position after Eliminating All Toxic Debt in Q4 2022 and Launching New Remote Patient Monitoring Medical Devices

  • Ludlow Research ups price target for MetAlert, leading developer of location-sensitive health monitoring devices and wearable technology products, anticipating target between $1 and $1.25 per share
  • MetAlert announced the elimination of all its toxic convertible notes from its balance sheet, which now provides increased stability to its public float
  • The company also shared improved guidance to its NFC operations while also announcing the launch of new medical devices geared toward the geriatric and autism healthcare markets
  • Q4 2022 also saw the influx of new chips, which will significantly increase production of the company’s SmartSole units in early 2023, ramp up production and fulfilling of backorders currently in place, and increase revenues in the coming months
  • These moves present a unique opportunity for investors to capitalize on the impending price surges
New York based equity research firm Ludlow Research, has updated its research opinion for MetAlert (OTC: MLRT), a pioneer in location-sensitive health monitoring devices and wearable technology products. MetAlert just marked a successful fourth quarter of the 2022 financial year (“Q4 2022”), with the elimination of all toxic convertible notes (“TCN”) from its balance sheet. In what promises increased opportunities for its investors, MetAlert also shared improved guidance to their Near Field Communication (“NFC”) operations while also announcing the launch of new medical devices geared toward the geriatric and autism healthcare markets (https://ibn.fm/vAwkE). TCN, also referred to as toxic debt, often converts at deep discounts to market price, ultimately contributing to shareholder dilution and price instability for small issuers. As a result, it can be detrimental to a company’s financial health. With MetAlert having eliminated all of its toxic debt, its management is confident that the company is in a position now to provide increased stability for its public float. This brings to a close a successful quarter for MetAlert, which also saw the launch of new medical devices such as RoomMate. In addition, the influx of new chips in this period, its management noted, would significantly increase production of its SmartSole units in early 2023, a move that will be integral in ramping-up production and fulfilling backorders currently in place. This move will also increase the company’s revenues in the coming months (https://ibn.fm/lHBg5). Extinguishing all toxic debt was an ambitious move for MetAlert that has since paid off for shareholders. This, coupled with improved guidance operations and the launch of new medical devices, presents a unique opportunity for investors to capitalize on the impending price surges. In addition, the demand for its line of innovative healthcare products, along with the growing size of the worldwide population that needs its technologies, gives MetAlert a significant competitive edge and a unique value proposition that is attractive to investors. As a result, Ludlow Research has placed the new price target for the company’s shares at between $1 and $1.25 per share. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.MetAlert.com.

Correlate Infrastructure Partners Inc. (CIPI) Builds Platform to Serve Clients’ ESG Interests, Propelled by Federal Climate-friendly Funding

  • Clean energy solutions innovator Correlate Infrastructure Partners Inc. is a company focused on helping businesses that develop and rent out commercial building properties to adopt smart energy use and reduce harmful climate impacts
  • Smart energy programs have gained traction during the past year as the federal government has enacted laws funding climate-friendly initiatives on a massive scale
  • Investors in public companies have shown a growing interest in supporting corporations with strong environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) profiles as a measure of their efforts to pursue environmentally sustainable production
  • CIPI helps corporate clients analyze their energy use practices, assess areas of possible ESG improvement, and find ways to realize cost advantages from making changes
During the past year, the current administration has passed legislation funding a wide-ranging series of climate-improving environmental measures, and utilities innovators such as distributed energy solutions company Correlate Infrastructure Partners (OTCQB: CIPI) have positioned themselves to take maximum advantage. The transformative effort to overhaul the nation’s economy and address climate change during 2021 and 2022 included the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (“IIJA”), which has been rebranded as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal (https://ibn.fm/mHmzH), and led to passage of the landmark Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) (https://ibn.fm/ngkhh). The U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) recently announced that it has begun taking applications for a grants program that will provide an initial $80 million of the $500 million program to public schools across the country to help them perform energy improvements, focusing particular attention on rural and low-income urban districts. “School facilities are the second-largest sector of public infrastructure spending according to the American Society of Civil Engineers, yet school buildings are consistently reported as aging, unhealthy and inefficient,” the DOE’s news release states (https://ibn.fm/jt3w8). “The Renew America’s Schools program … will help create healthier learning environments, lower utility costs and redirect funds to support students and teachers.” The DOE also announced this month that it intends to invest up to $72 million from the Bipartisan Infrastructure law to expand a training program for workforce development to support energy efficiency and emissions reductions in commercial and institutional buildings (https://ibn.fm/0f6cn). The Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal also will invest more than $7 billion in the supply chain for batteries essential to providing affordable clean energy, $1.5 billion for clean hydrogen manufacturing, and $750 million to support advanced energy technology manufacturing projects in coal communities “The Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal will turbo-charge clean energy deployment by funding several highly effective state and local programs that will spur projects that increase access to energy efficiency to save money for American families, businesses and communities, help achieve our clean energy goals and accelerate job growth,” the DOE stated last month (https://ibn.fm/B2q3R). Correlate Infrastructure Partners has established a platform for helping the commercial real estate industry (companies that develop and rent out commercial building properties) succeed at acquiring solar, cogeneration, energy storage, and electric vehicle infrastructure. Such climate-friendly measures have gained gravitas with corporations as investors have shown increasing interest in supporting businesses with good environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) profiles, pouring $69.2 billion into ESG-weighted funds last year (https://ibn.fm/fk7kn), despite political challenges (https://ibn.fm/CLNow). CIPI’s distributed energy solutions provide clients with current energy use analysis, recommendations for optimization, and advisement on access to financial resources that will ultimately help the clients reduce their costs as they make climate-friendly improvements.

GeoSolar Technologies Inc.’s Renewable Energy Tech Makes UK-Style Sustainable Communities Possible

  • UK-based Nansledan sustainable housing estate offers residential, retail, and commercial spaces, future upgrades include solar panels and electric vehicle charging stations
  • GeoSolar’s SmartGreen(TM) residential and commercial energy systems make sustainable communities possible in the United States
  • SmartGreen(TM) total-home energy “makeovers” comprise solar panels, geothermal ground loops, LED lighting, upgraded insulation, energy-efficient windows
  • GeoSolar is conducting Regulation A+ capital raise with minimum $300 investment
While much of Europe is panicking over high energy costs and inflation, some UK residents are adapting to the changing economic environment by embracing low-carbon and low-cost residential housing estates (https://ibn.fm/ACvr7). One such project – the Nansledan – recently emerged as a model for sustainability that blends traditional design with innovative renewable energy infrastructure. Referred to as a “20-minute neighborhood”, the Nansledan has it all: room for around 4,000 homes, retail spaces, offices, community facilities, and green areas. And the best part is that most of the buildings can be upgraded with rooftop solar panels and electric vehicle charging stations. GeoSolar Technologies (“GST”), a climate technology company based in Colorado, is well-positioned to bring renewable energy technology to the United States that makes communities like Nansledan possible. The company’s SmartGreen(TM) whole-home renewable energy systems tap into the power of the sun and earth to provide heating, air conditioning, and electricity with rooftop solar panels and geothermal ground loops. The SmartGreen(TM) Home system can be adapted to nearly any type of home with options to build the system into new construction or retrofit it into existing buildings. Besides producing all the energy a home needs, the SmartGreen(TM) systems also improve efficiency through upgrades to windows, insulation, and lighting. SmartGreen(TM) Home systems also include a new electric vehicle charging station and integrated energy controls that give owners the power to view energy production and usage and monitor the air movement throughout their homes. In addition, SmartGreen(TM) provides unparalleled air filtration, recently earning top scores on the Home Energy Rating System (“HERS”) Index – the industry’s gold standard for calculating energy performance and efficiency (https://ibn.fm/ESSwc). The creation of sustainable communities is right in line with global policies – like Net-Zero – that aim to reduce carbon emissions and promote renewable energy. GeoSolar is dedicated to making Net-Zero a reality in the US by marketing the SmartGreen(TM) system to over 120 million homes. The US Securities and Commission recently qualified the company to conduct a Regulation A+ capital raise as well.
