Property Play covers new and evolving opportunities for the real estate investor, from individuals to venture capitalists, private equity funds, family offices, institutional investors and large public companies. Sign up to receive future editions, straight to your inbox. Anyone who has bought or sold a home knows how long and tedious the closing process can be. It involves antiquated paperwork requiring multiple signatures from various parties, disclosures and a heap of compliance forms. Some of the process has been digitized, but mostly not. One remedy is emerging: Put it all on the blockchain. Propy, a Miami-based blockchain technology company that launched in 2017, has been trying to modernize the closing process and recently got a big financial boost to do it. In late January, Propy announced it had secured a $100 million credit facility from Metropolitan Partners Group, a private investment firm. The money would be used, it said, to consolidate title and escrow companies into an AI-powered, end-to-end closing platform. "We have this conviction that blockchain is the next phenomenon after the internet," said Natalia Karayaneva, founder and CEO of Propy. "The internet moved information, blockchain will move value. It already is moving money. It's moving treasuries. However, the real estate industry is still behind." That's primarily because the industry doesn't exactly understand blockchain, Karayaneva said. Blockchain is like a massive, shared, digital filing cabinet that no one person can control. Things that are recorded on the blockchain cannot be altered. "This technology allows us to record deeds and transactions, and it's impossible to change this data," Karayaneva said. "It allows us to be a fraudless system." As of now Propy has purchased four established title companies, but the transition is not easy. Those title companies "have a very big fear of AI, and w...

Welcome to the Brussels Edition. I’m Suzanne Lynch, Bloomberg’s Brussels bureau chief, bringing you the latest from the EU each weekday. Make sure you’re signed up . German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul played down recent tensions between US President Donald Trump and German leader Friedrich Merz, telling Bloomberg TV it was “unfortunately a big misunderstanding.” In an interview with Bloomberg Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait today in Berlin, Germany’s top diplomat said his country supports the US aim to ensure Iran can’t obtain a nuclear weapon. Merz’s comments last week at a school that American negotiators were being “humiliated” by Iran provoked a rebuke from Trump. Washington later threatened to raise tariffs on EU vehicles to 25%, a move that would hit German car exporters hard. Berlin is “in close contact” with the administration on a number of issues, including on tariffs, he said. It comes as EU negotiators in Brussels failed to reach an agreement overnight on a long-delayed US trade deal, risking pushback from the US. Wadephul was speaking a day after he called for a fundamental reform of how the EU works, including abolishing the unanimity rule when it comes to matters of defense and security which requires all 27 member states to agree. “When it comes to security issues, the principle of unanimity can place us in existential danger,” he said in a speech. “This is about life and death – we can see it every day in Ukraine.” Debate about moving away from unanimity to qualified majority voting in matters of foreign policy has moved into focus as Brussels reflects on 16 years of Viktor Orban’s rule in Hungary. Orban, in recent years, used his country’s veto to block foreign policy issues, particularly concerning Ukraine. Wadephul also argued that rule-of-law issues should be tied to the EU budget, and for greater cooperation between the European Commission and the EU’s foreign policy wing, the European External Action Service (EEAS) The Latest Google pro...

Richard Drury/DigitalVision via Getty Images JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF ( JEPQ ) has a staggering $37.98 billion in assets under management ( AUM ) as the investment landscape looks for ways to generate recurring monthly income without being left out of the market. When combined with the JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF ( JEPI ) they have more than $80 billion in AUM between them. While I am a shareholder in both JEPI and JEPQ I haven’t added to them in quite some time as their mechanics have left much to be desired with the total return being produced. I happen to like JEPQ more than JEPI and have a larger position in it but JEPQ just doesn’t stack up as much to the comps in the covered call overlay sector as it once did. JEPI has generated $6.18 of income over the past year which is a 10.46% yield based on the current share price and has produced double digit growth rates in appreciation. On the surface this may look interesting considering investors can exceed 10% in appreciation and yield if the current results are replicated but in an environment where the Invesco QQQ Trust ( QQQ ) has ran 44.52% over the past year JEPQ’s results look less appealing. I am not existing my position in JEPQ but every time I go through the numbers I am less inclined to hold onto this position. After doing the research again I can’t become bullish on an income focused ETF I used to love. Seeking Alpha Following Up on my Previous Article About JEPQ At the beginning for February, I had written my second article on JEPQ ( can be read here ) since I had downgraded it from bullish to neutral. Since then shares of JEPQ have appreciated by 2.61% and generated 5.62% in total return in an environment where the S&P 500 has increased by 6.47%. JEPQ focuses on the Nasdaq 100 and hasn’t been able to outperform the S&P 500 when the markets are at all-time highs. I am following up with a new article on JEPQ because I aggregated the data and JEPQ is not only trailing the market, it...

bombermoon/iStock via Getty Images Staying Bullish On ET In my previous article on Energy Transfer LP Common Units ( ET ), I noted that although the unit prices expanded rapidly following the acceleration of the underlying commodities prices, the units themselves looked cheap, still, and I saw no reason to sell ET on its rip. I'm glad that I haven't downgraded ET at the time, as the units have risen by over 4% since early March, which is solid for the high-yielding MLP environment. A couple of days ago, ET released its Q1 numbers, and after looking at the latest quarterly changes and reading the commentaries, I decided to stay bullish. Let me discuss the Q1 earnings and elaborate on my rating decision. Reviewing ET's Q1 Results For Q1 2026, Energy Transfer generated $27.77 billion in revenue (+32.1% YoY, beating the Street's consensus by 1.73%, according to Seeking Alpha . The GAAP EPS missed the consensus again, but as I repeatedly noted in my previous articles on ET, what truly matters for MLPs is their distributable cash flow. In this case, ET's DCF attributable to partners stood at ~$2.70 billion (+17% YoY), which was quite solid. It helped the company cover the quarterly $1.16 billion distribution quite easily at a massive coverage ratio of 2.3x. When we break down the segments, we see that all five key areas performed greatly. NGL and refined products terminal volumes surged 19%, while NGL exports jumped 19% and NGL fractionation volumes increased by 11%, based on the Q1 release. ET's crude oil transportation volumes rose by 8%, and midstream gathered volumes grew by 6%, which is also a strong result given the initial scale. What is important here is that the guidance for 2026 was adjusted to the upside with a solid buffer to previous projections, which is why I believe management expects a similarly bullish environment to last longer than just a single quarter: ET's IR materials As you can see, the adjusted FY2026 EBITDA guidance was raised to a range of $18....

Over 80% Of Young Adults Believe Economy Is 'Bad/Terrible' And We're Seeing The Consequences All Over America Authored by Michael Snyder via The Economic Collapse blog, Decades of economic decline have brought this country to a breaking point. The vast majority of the population is barely scraping by from month to month as prices continue to rise, thousands of stores and restaurants close, foreclosures spike to alarming levels and the middle class continues to shrink. Now the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz threatens to make things a whole lot worse, and a lot of people are justifiably concerned about what this will mean for their futures. Our young adults are being hit particularly hard. If you purchased a home 20 or 30 years ago, you are insulated from what is really going on out there. Housing costs are more unaffordable than ever, and many young people have completely given up on the dream of homeownership. Meanwhile, the employment market has gotten very tight, and this is especially true for entry-level jobs. Do you know anyone under the age of 40 that is doing really well in this economy? Yes, there are some exceptions, but in general our young adults are really struggling. As a result, homelessness is at record levels and hordes of drug addicts are roaming the streets of our major cities. If you doubt this, just check out this video that shows what has happened to the once great city of Los Angeles. It was once a playground for the rich and famous, but now it has been transformed into a rotting, decaying hellhole. It is undeniable that most of our young adults hate this economy. In fact, a new survey that was just released found that a whopping 84 percent of Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 believe that economic conditions in the U.S. are either “bad” or “terrible” … A recent survey by Generation Lab found that more than 8 in 10 young adults rate economic conditions in the U.S. as either bad or terrible. The survey, conducted April 26-29, found that 55...
