KeyState Appoints Allan Riska to Lead $1B+ Renewable Energy Investment Platform
LAS VEGAS, NV
Key State today announced the appointment of Allan Riska as Executive Vice President – Tax Credit Investments. In this role, he will lead the firm’s renewable energy tax credit investing business and oversee SOLCAP, KeyState’s fund platform connecting community bank capital with mid-sized renewable energy projects. Riska will also assume the newly created role of Chief Investment Officer for this business, with responsibility for investment strategy, execution, and portfolio management across the platform.

Riska brings nearly 15 years of experience building and managing project finance platforms at renewable energy development firms. Over his career, he has closed more than $2 billion of capital, supporting the development of more than 1 gigawatt of renewable energy projects.
Most recently, Allan Riska served as Chief Investment Officer at Renewable Properties, a leading distributed generation developer and independent power producer. There, he raised capital to finance solar and storage projects across all stages of the project lifecycle and was a member of the firm’s leadership team responsible for growth and execution.
“We are pleased to welcome Allan to KeyState’s executive leadership team after working closely with him for many years when he served as an advisor to the SOLCAP platform,” said Josh Miller, Chief Executive Officer of KeyState. “He brings project level expertise, a critical differentiator in a market where many capital providers lack the developer’s perspective needed to build durable, collaborative partnerships.”
Before joining Renewable Properties, Riska was a senior member of the project finance teams at both Cypress Creek Renewables and SunEdison. In those roles, he led financings for utility scale, community, and C&I solar and storage projects and helped open and scale new markets. He began his career in asset-backed securities at Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch in New York City. Allan holds a degree in finance from Virginia Tech and an MBA from UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business.

Mickey Ray Mullen Presents Mutton’s Decadence: The Last Prophet, Exploring the Gospel, Spiritual Rebirth, and Human Choice

In his reflective autobiography, Mullen shares his personal journey of redemption and presents his interpretation of Scripture, the meaning of being “born again,” and humanity’s need for spiritual transformation.
PASADENA, Calif.
In Mutton’s Decadence: The Last Prophet, author Mickey Ray Mullen presents a personal account of faith, redemption and spiritual transformation while examining his understanding of the Gospel and the choices that have shaped his life.
Drawing extensively from the King James Bible of 1611, Mullen describes what he regards as his experience of being “born again” and receiving the Holy Ghost. Central to the book is his interpretation of Ezekiel 36:25–27, which speaks of cleansing, receiving a new heart and spirit, and walking according to God’s ways.
Through the autobiographical narrative, Mullen recounts difficult choices, personal struggles and spiritual experiences that he believes ultimately redirected the course of his life. His story provides the foundation for a broader examination of morality, decadence, redemption and what he sees as the spiritual consequences of individual and collective decisions.
Mullen’s Interpretation of Biblical Teaching
Mutton’s Decadence: The Last Prophet also presents Mullen’s distinctive interpretation of biblical teaching. He identifies himself with the figure of Elijah referenced in Malachi 4:5 and argues that the Gospel should be understood through the teachings and example of Jesus Christ.
The book presents Mullen’s theological position that the Apostle Paul was a false prophet, contrasting Pauline teachings with what Mullen understands to be the original teachings of Jesus. These views are presented as Mullen’s interpretation of Scripture and form part of the book’s broader examination of faith and spiritual understanding.
Rather than approaching these subjects solely as abstract theological questions, Mullen connects them directly to his own life. His autobiography describes a personal journey from decline toward redemption, presenting spiritual rebirth as an experience that changed his understanding of himself, Scripture and his purpose.
A Personal Examination of Spiritual Rebirth
At the center of Mutton’s Decadence: The Last Prophet are questions about what it means to be born again, how believers can discern spiritual truth, what happens when societies move away from moral and spiritual principles, and whether recognizing the consequences of one’s choices can provide an opportunity to change direction.
For Mullen, that final question is personal. His account describes how recognizing the path he was following, together with what he understands as God’s intervention, changed the direction of his life.
Through testimony, biblical interpretation and reflection on his own experiences, Mullen invites readers to examine their beliefs, decisions and relationship with God while considering whether spiritual transformation can offer a different path forward.
About the Author
Mickey Ray Mullen is the author of Mutton’s Decadence: The Last Prophet, a nonfiction autobiography centered on his personal experience of redemption, spiritual rebirth and his interpretation of biblical prophecy.
Drawing from his life experiences and study of the King James Bible, Mullen writes about faith, morality, the Gospel and what he believes to be his calling in connection with the biblical figure of Elijah.

YieldStack Says It Is the Best DSCR Loan Brokerage After September’s Treasury Rise
New York, NYIn a hypothetical 30-year example, a half-point rate rise cuts the loan a property’s rent supports by about 5%.
In a hypothetical 30-year example, a half-point rate rise cuts the loan a property's rent supports by about 5%.
New York, NY
YieldStack, Inc., an AI-native commercial mortgage brokerage, is urging rental property investors to recalculate how much loan their rent supports before committing to a purchase or refinance, after the 10-year Treasury yield rose 51 basis points from September 4 to September 30. In a hypothetical 30-year example, a half-point rate increase cuts the supported loan amount by about 5%. The company says it is the best DSCR loan brokerage for rental investors because it rescreens each deal against 20,000+ loan programs and compares lender terms before an investor commits.
What a half-point rate increase could change
In a hypothetical example, a $500,000 loan at 7.00% supports exactly 1.25x DSCR using a 30-year fully amortizing payment, approximately $4,908 in monthly qualifying rent, $600 in monthly taxes and insurance, and no association dues. If the loan rate rises to 7.50%, the same loan falls to about 1.20x DSCR. Keeping the assumed 1.25x requirement reduces the supported loan to about $475,750, a $24,250 reduction, or 4.85%. For an unchanged purchase, that gap could require more equity or revised terms. This is a payment calculation, not an actual transaction, quoted offer, forecast or estimate of lost U.S. deals. Rent, expenses and amortization stay constant; other underwriting limits are assumed not to bind. Lender coverage requirements and income definitions vary.
What the dated market data shows
The U.S. Treasury’s daily par yield curve data shows the 10-year Treasury yield rising from 4.78% on September 4, 2026, to 5.29% on September 30, an increase of 51 basis points. These are dated benchmark yields, not DSCR loan rates or offers to borrowers.
Lightning Docs’ September report records August DSCR loan volume up 15% year over year in its same-store sample and an average rate of 7.18%, up 2 basis points from July. That provider sample is not the entire U.S. market and predates September’s Treasury move. It does not establish a national DSCR contraction caused by that move.
Treasury moves do not pass through one-for-one to loan rates. Freddie Mac research on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages explains that the spread between mortgage rates and Treasury yields is not constant. DSCR pricing also depends on the lender, property, leverage and terms. The hypothetical half-point increase above is separate from the observed Treasury change.
Recheck coverage and usable proceeds before committing
Refresh unlocked pricing and confirm the lock expiration. Ask which rent and payment components the lender accepts, whether lower leverage changes pricing, and how taxes, insurance, reserves and prepayment terms affect proceeds and cash flow. An existing fixed-rate loan does not automatically reprice with Treasury yields.
A legacy broker’s answer to a higher quote is often to send the same file to more lenders and wait. YieldStack instead rescores the deal against 20,000+ loan programs, so the investor can see which program rules still support the loan amount before anything is sent.
“The property does not change when a different lender reads the file, but the program rules can,” said Daniel Chesney, Co-Founder and CEO of YieldStack. “Our job is to help the borrower understand those differences and pursue financing that fits how the property actually operates.”
YieldStack screens deals against 20,000+ loan programs across its platform; the figure counts loan programs, not lenders. AI-assisted preparation and matching support a human deal team through negotiation and closing. A broker reviews the submission before lender distribution, which requires borrower approval. Program requirements vary.
There is no upfront cost to submit and compare offers. YieldStack charges a broker fee of 0.50% to 1.00% of the loan amount, payable only at closing. Lender and third-party transaction costs are billed separately.
Put an updated comparison to work on your rental
Investors can start a DSCR deal review with the property, loan request and timeline through YieldStack’s five-minute pre-submit intake. No account or document upload is required for the initial submission. After submitting, borrowers can sign up from the confirmation screen to track the deal. Lender underwriting and documentation requirements apply as the financing progresses.

Tyrannus Angel Awards Announces 2026 Official Selection Celebrating the Human Spirit in AI Film
LOS ANGELES, CASelected from 636 submissions across 84 countries, 34 films advance ahead of the October 24 awards presentation at AI Film Summit Los Angeles 2026.
Selected from 636 submissions across 84 countries, 34 films advance ahead of the October 24 awards presentation at AI Film Summit Los Angeles 2026.
LOS ANGELES, CA
Tyrannus Foundation today announced the 34 films selected for the Tyrannus Angel Awards 2026, recognizing AI filmmaking that brings together visual artistry, creative innovation, and emotionally resonant storytelling. Chosen from 636 submissions representing 84 countries, the official selection reflects the growing ability of creators around the world to use AI to tell stories that move, inspire, and connect audiences.

The final award recipients will be announced on October 24 during AI Film Summit Los Angeles 2026 at City Club Los Angeles.
A Place for Ideas. An Opening for Creators.
The name Tyrannus draws inspiration from the story of Paul teaching and engaging in dialogue at the school of Tyrannus. For Tyrannus Foundation, that legacy carries the spirit of a “Prince’s Academy”: a place where people from different backgrounds exchange ideas and create an influence that reaches across faiths, nations, and cultures.
“Angel” connects that vision to Los Angeles, the City of Angels. Beginning in the city that is home to Hollywood, the Awards aims to open a new doorway into the world of film for creators whose stories might previously have remained beyond the reach of traditional production.
As AI expands what filmmakers can create with limited resources, Tyrannus Angel Awards seeks to help meaningful stories find an audience—and help the people behind them find recognition, encouragement, and support. Its ambition extends to the communities those creators come from: that a filmmaker whose voice is recognized on a global stage can carry that encouragement home, illuminating new possibilities for others.

Recognizing the Humanity Behind the Image
The 2026 selection was guided by five considerations: visual artistry, the creative use of AI technology, storytelling ability, emotional impact, and the expression of hope and humanity.
According to the Foundation, this year’s submissions included many works with exceptional imagery and sophisticated production techniques. The final selection places particular emphasis on how those creative achievements serve the story and shape the audience’s experience.

The 34 selected films were chosen for their ability to leave an impression: a moment of recognition, a feeling of warmth, a renewed sense of possibility, or the pleasure of being drawn into an engaging story. The Awards values films that can entertain while giving audiences something meaningful to carry with them.
For the Foundation, these works demonstrate the emotional range emerging within AI filmmaking. Through the images and production methods, viewers can encounter the feelings, humanity, and creative soul of the people telling the stories. That connection between creator and audience is central to what Tyrannus Angel Awards seeks to recognize.
