Today we venerate Benjamin Rucker aka Black Herman on his 134th birthday 🎉

Heralded as the greatest magician in U.S. history, Black Herman was brilliant for his fusion of performance magic with occultism & superstition, and his strong Separatist & militant Pan-Afrikan ideologies (Marcus Garvey x Booker T. Washington). He proclaimed that it was his mission to promote Black Power.

Born in Amherst, VA, as a teen, Black Herman learned the art of illusions from his mentor, Prince Herman. They ran a medicine show, performing magic tricks to attract curious passersby to their "Secret African Remedy". When Prince Herman, 17yr old Rucker was determined to carry on the show; this time using only magic. He then took on the name of, "Black Herman"; in honor of Prince Herman & as an homage to Alonzo Moore, the famous Black American magician who was known as the "Black Herrmann".

In Harlem, Rucker established himself as a pillar of the community. He was often seen in Garvey’s massive Harlem parades & is believed to have offered Garvey spiritual counsel. He befriended preachers, intellectuals and politicians, many of whom met at his home for a weekly study group. He was an Elk, a Freemason, and a Knight of Pythias. He used his success to make loans to local Black businessmen/organisations, established scholarship funds, & performed for free to help churches pay their bills. He expanded his wealth by purchasing a printing plan to establish a monthly magazine, "Black Herman’s Mail Order Course of Graduated Lessons in the Art of Magic". He acquired real estate, bought shares in two cotton plantations, gave personal consultations, & started herb/root gardens in a dozen cities.

Black Herman famously claimed that he was immortal & directly descended from Moses of the Bible. He asserted that our people could elude Klansmen & their descendants by escaping the limitations of mortality & simply outliving them. He'd also sell protective talismans to combat racism. He inserted his Afrikan heritage into his performances. One of his specialties included the “Asrah levitation.” He'd produce rabbits & doubled the amount of cornmeal in a bowl. Many of his tricks were "secrets taught by Zulu witch doctors". Some of his tricks were parallel to miracles from the Christian bible. He'd cast out demons from his assistant or brother hidden amongst the audience, then offer a special tonic for sale & offer a psychic reading address their “problems”.

Yet none compared to his most famous act of all, "Buried Alive". He would be interred in an outdoor area called "Black Herman's Private Graveyard", in full view of his audience. He'd slow his pulse by applying pressure under his arm, & pronounced "dead" on the spot by a local "doctor". As the coffin was lowered into the ground, Herman would slip out unnoticed. For days, people would pay to look at the grave, buidling the suspense over the fate of Black Herman. When the time was up, the coffin was exhumed with great drama and fanfare, and out walked Herman to lead his audience into the nearest theater, where he performed the rest of his show.

Eerily enough, his must famous act foreshadowed his own death in 1934 in which he collapsed on stage due to a massive heart attack that many audience members took to be part of his act. After the crowd refused to believe that the show was indeed over, Black Herman's assistant had his body moved to a funeral home. The crowds followed. Finally, his assistant decided to charge admission as one final farewell & homage to Black Herman's legacy. People came and went by the thousands; some even brought pins to stick into his corpse as proof of his death. His burial made front page news in Black newspapers across the country. Today, Black Herman rests in the Woodlawn Cemetery in NYC.

In 1925, he published a book, ghostwritten by a man named Young entitled, "Secrets of Magic, Mystery, and Legerdemain"; a semi-fictionalized autobiography that offers directions for simple illusions, advice on astrology & lucky numbers, & bits of Hoodoo customs and practices.

"If the slave traders tried to take any of my people captive, we would release ourselves using our secret knowledge." - Black Herman during his rope escape routine.

We pour libations & give him💐 today as we celebrate him for his love & service to our community/people & for his legacied contributions to Hoodoo Culture & History.

Offering suggestions : read his literary works, libations of whiskey/rum, Pan African flag, coins & paper money

‼️Note: offering suggestions are just that & strictly for veneration purposes only. Never attempt to conjure up any spirit or entity without proper divination/Mediumship counsel.‼️

amalia's maker, george, was an english earl and a real centre of the high society vampire set in the georgian/regency eras, knowing anyone who was anyone in the vampire world — with more than one of them also being titled aristocracy, part of the human ton. he would host lavish parties at his country estate for vampires, places where the rules were relaxed and they could feed, hunt on the moor, and have sex without society's Rules. they were exclusive and a great time; humans even found out about them, and were desperate to be able to attend. of course, that only happened one of two ways: as food, or as fledglings.

these society vampires weren't a coven in the traditional sense (with a slightly culty hierarchy, leaders, or strict rules) but they were an insular group nonetheless. vampires are so often solitary and it helped them to have each other. the main unspoken rule was that they couldn't kill titled humans or important families on a whim, because they'd be noticed. beyond that, a lot of them also took part in the human ton's london seasons, always with an air of superiority, like they were laughing at them. and maybe they didn't kill the lords, but the maids were fair game.

amalia (a maid before she was turned) never liked them, however much she pretended, however much she was a part of them, and she never enjoyed the parties, either. once her maker's dead and she's inherited his property, they wind down. rumours are that she has smaller soirées with people she actually considers friends, but nobody who attends talks.

Top FAQs on Commercial Property Appraisal

If you're looking to understand more about commercial property appraisals beyond just a simple definition, this FAQ guide from Moore Real Estate Group will help. Whether you're planning to buy, sell, invest in, or refinance commercial property, knowing how the appraisal process works is key to making informed decisions.

1. What is a Commercial Property Appraisal?

A commercial property appraisal is the process of a licensed appraiser determining the fair market value of a property. This involves in-depth research, analysis of market trends, and a thorough inspection of the property. The appraisal ensures that both buyers and sellers have an accurate value on which to base their decisions.

2. Why is a Commercial Property Appraisal Important?

A commercial property appraisal is vital for many reasons. It helps set a realistic price for both buyers and sellers, but it's also crucial for lenders, investors, and tax authorities. For buyers and lenders, it ensures the property's price reflects its true value. For investors, it helps estimate future returns, while governments use appraisals for setting property taxes.

3. What Factors Affect the Value of a Commercial Property?

Several factors influence the value of a commercial property, including:

Condition: The age, physical condition, and overall maintenance of the property are critical factors. Well-maintained properties typically have higher values.

Location: Location plays a huge role in determining a property's worth. A property's proximity to major roads, public transportation, and essential amenities like hospitals and schools can significantly increase its value.

Comparable Sales: The appraiser will also look at recent sales of similar properties in the area to determine the value. Fewer comparable properties might increase the value, while a crowded market could lower it.

Income Potential: A property's ability to generate revenue, either through rentals or future resale, also affects its value. Properties with strong revenue potential often appraise higher.

4. Who Performs Commercial Property Appraisals?

Certified and licensed real estate appraisers are responsible for conducting commercial property appraisals. At Moore Real Estate Group, we work with experienced appraisers who understand the complexities of commercial real estate. They evaluate the property's location, market trends, and income potential to provide an accurate appraisal.

5. How Long Does a Commercial Property Appraisal Take?

Typically, a commercial property appraisal takes between two to four weeks. However, this can vary depending on factors like the complexity of the property, market conditions, and the availability of data. Moore Real Estate Group ensures that the appraisal process is completed quickly, with attention to detail and accuracy.

Conclusion

Commercial property appraisals are a key part of any real estate transaction. With the expertise of Moore Real Estate Group, you can simplify the process and gain a clearer understanding of your property's true value. Whether you're buying, selling, investing, or refinancing, working with qualified appraisers will ensure a fair and accurate property assessment.

Magazine: 2023 Movers & shakers | propertyEU

Ten investment managers and three advisors have been named by market participants as movers and shakers in the new unfolding European real estate investment market.  

  1  Cale Street Partners

The company was founded by former Goldman Sachs global head of real estate, Ed Siskind. The capital comes from the Kuwaiti Investment Authority, which initially backed it with $1.5 bn in 2014. Dalamal has been with the company since 2019, having joined from Och-Ziff where he was head of European commercial real estate credit. Prior to that he was with Deutsche Bank in its European commercial real estate group for six years. Cami has been with the company since inception. He was formerly with Goldman Sachs at the same time as Siskind. 

 2  Ares Management

The global firm has a very longstanding real estate equity investing history in the US and Europe, but only entered European real estate credit relatively recently.  Philip Moore  was hired in 2021 having served as head of European real estate debt at Carlyle flagship credit opportunities fund where he headed real estate within the firms opportunistic credit business. The team has completed 1.1 bn of lending in the last 15 months since launching in January 2022 and all in the whole loan/senior space. The team is seeing significant demand and opportunity in refinancings.

3  Apollo Management

The New York-headquartered company is an active real estate investor and lender throughout Europe, across the risk-return spectrum. Apollo  s perpetual, balance sheet capital from the company  s retirement services business gives the firm flexibility and creativity when structuring and underwriting transactions. Its capabilities extend through its special situations vehicles to a series of different businesses including commercial real estate debt and core-plus strategies each able to create and take on idiosyncratic solutions. The London group is led by  Skardon Baker  as head of its large European Principal Finance (EPF) special situations funds and its European RE platform. Other notable names are partners who report to Baker such as  Ed Jones ,  Ivo Kolev ,  Samuele Cappelletti  and  Seb Zillas .  Ben Eppley  leads the CRE debt business, while  Boris Olujic  and  Frederick Neske  lead the core-plus RE business. The European real estate team collaborates closely with their credit and equity colleagues around the globe, including  Jamshid Ehsani , a partner in Apollo  s credit franchise that originated the Vonovia transaction. Baker said Apollo had ‘unique and flexible capital  , helping it capitalise on the illiquidity and market distress currently underway in many European markets.

4  The Blackstone Group

No prizes for guessing Blackstone makes it onto the list given its track record, vast financial investing resources, and ability to play in both large cap equity and debt spaces. The firm is a perennial dealmaker, making it to Number One spot in the annual PropertyEU Top 100 Dealmakers ranking with a combined 21.1 bn worth of transactions for the year 2022. There will be no slacking off. Head of Europe real estate,  James Seppala , told PropertyEU in a recent interview that Europe was providing compelling investment opportunities. He added: In fact, Europe is the most active area for capital deployment on a global basis at the moment.   The firm is working towards a first close of its latest Europe opportunistic fund, Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe VII (BREP Europe VII), seeking $10 bn (9.2 bn) of equity commitments.   

5  Cheyne Capital Real Estate

One of the most active credit firms out there, this firm is certainly one to watch. Since launching in 2000, Cheyne Capital has become one of Europes leading alternative investment managers. Headquartered in London, it invests across the capital structure from the senior debt to equity of corporates and real estate. Real estate investments account for approximately half of the firms 10 bn under management and span direct real estate lending, securitised European real estate debt and selective special situations, including impact real estate investing in affordable and specialist housing. In real estate lending, it has carved out a niche for specialised non-bank loans to borrowers in select European markets, staying flexible to invest into all parts of the capital stack. Market participants say  Arron Taggart , head of UK investment, along with  Raphael Smadja  and  Daniel Schuldes , co-heads of Europe, are key people to know. 

 6  Starwood Capital Group

More typically, the US group is known as an opportunistic equity investor, but it also combines this with credit. In Europe, the firm continues to be very active and is expected by many to play a part in the unfolding dislocation in the region. The company has been working credit situations in the US for over 30 years and has deployed almost $100 bn in commercial real estate lending globally since 2009. But Europe is becoming a major focus according to  Lorcain Egan , MD and co-head of Europe responsible for the groups lending platform. He said in an interview that its international lending business is now nine times bigger than it was in 2018. He confirmed Europe was a huge growth area and the dynamics were ‘as good as the firm has seen for at least a decade.   He joined the company in 2013, having been a VP at Barclays Bank in its structured property debt finance team in London. The big push in Europe began in 2018 when the company saw the potential for non-bank lenders to fill a gap left by banks. 

 7  KKR

KKR is another of the US private equity alternatives firms expected to play a greater part in matters going forward. Global head of real estate, Ralph Rosenberg, wrote in his second-quarter review recently: ‘In our view, the dislocation may create a once-in-a-decade investing opportunity in real estate, but investors should also be prepared to weather the storm.   He points to the second and third-order effects of banks pulling back and a potential looming credit crunch due to the sudden rise in interest rates. He wrote that this creates the potential for a credit crunch impacting certain owners and asset types that will no longer have the same access to debt capital  . Market participants say in Europe  Ali Imraan  is one to watch as head of European real estate credit. He joined KKR in January 2022 having previously been at Citi bank, Royal Bank of Scotland, and most recently MD of debt investments and special situations at LaSalle Investment Management. KKR launched a European real estate debt platform last year. On the equity side, it is currently raising KKR Real Estate Partners Europe III. Its second fund closed on $2.2 bn (  2 bn). 

 8  Brookfield Asset Management

With its long-term investment focus, the Canadian firm will always be found where there is an opportunity to be had. In recent years, it has invested significantly across Europe, with over   45 bn of assets in nine different countries and across a number of different sectors, including alternative real estate segments where it has been building platforms. Transactions of particular note include the establishment of a life sciences platform, ARC, and the acquisitions of Hibernia REIT and Befimmo. One has to expect it will continue to find big new opportunities to create value, in some cases driven by credit issues or public companies finding it more challenging to raise money. The company has plenty of firepower at its disposal and is said most recently to be seeking $15 bn of equity for its flagship strategy.  Brad Hyler  is managing partner and head of Brookfield  s real estate business in the region. 

 9  LaSalle Investment Management

Michael Zerda  is the go-to professional here for debt, equity, and everything in between. As co-CIO for Europe and head of debt and private equity strategies, he oversees a business regarded as much more than just lending but tapping into the team  s hybrid opportunistic equity and special situations roots in this market. He helped create LaSalles debt and special situations business after the global financial crisis, left in 2015 to join Blackstone as head of Europe real estate debt strategies, and rejoined LaSalle in 2021 in a new elevated role. LaSalle lending business has become very active recently across whole loans and mezzanine, recently providing a   325 mln mezzanine loan to refinance a large Iberian hotel portfolio, among others. The equity business has been active in non-traditional, counter-cyclical sectors, including designer outlets and education hubs, as well as partnering with numa, a tech-enabled hybrid hotel operator to aggregate urban accommodation in gateway European cities. Zerda brought on board  David White  to head LaSalle  s real estate debt strategies in Europe and  Blake Loveless  to lead its European private equity division. 

 10  BentallGreenOak (BGO)

BGO is a very active lender in Europe and has a sizeable equity capability via large funds. In the UK it provides senior, whole loans and mezzanine debt. The bulk of the lending revolves around transitional real estate and core plus. Its website says the UK and European Lending Program is able to advance loans for acquisition finance, refinance, finance of discounted payoffs and redevelopment/capex loans from   5 mln to over   200 mln for up to 7-year terms. GreenOak Europe Secured Lending Fund III beat its   800 mln target by closing on   869 mln in Q1 2021. Its third UK Secured Lending Fund closed on    1.43 bn last year. The business is part of SLC Management owned by Sun Life of Canada.  Martin Sheridan  is MD for BGO’s UK debt business.  Laura Manthe  is a principal of real estate lending.

Magazine: 2023 Movers & shakers | propertyEU

Ten investment managers and three advisors have been named by market participants as movers and shakers in the new unfolding European real estate investment market.  

  1  Cale Street Partners

The company was founded by former Goldman Sachs global head of real estate, Ed Siskind. The capital comes from the Kuwaiti Investment Authority, which initially backed it with $1.5 bn in 2014. Dalamal has been with the company since 2019, having joined from Och-Ziff where he was head of European commercial real estate credit. Prior to that he was with Deutsche Bank in its European commercial real estate group for six years. Cami has been with the company since inception. He was formerly with Goldman Sachs at the same time as Siskind. 

 2  Ares Management

The global firm has a very longstanding real estate equity investing history in the US and Europe, but only entered European real estate credit relatively recently.  Philip Moore  was hired in 2021 having served as head of European real estate debt at Carlyle flagship credit opportunities fund where he headed real estate within the firms opportunistic credit business. The team has completed 1.1 bn of lending in the last 15 months since launching in January 2022 and all in the whole loan/senior space. The team is seeing significant demand and opportunity in refinancings.

3  Apollo Management

The New York-headquartered company is an active real estate investor and lender throughout Europe, across the risk-return spectrum. Apollo  s perpetual, balance sheet capital from the company  s retirement services business gives the firm flexibility and creativity when structuring and underwriting transactions. Its capabilities extend through its special situations vehicles to a series of different businesses including commercial real estate debt and core-plus strategies each able to create and take on idiosyncratic solutions. The London group is led by  Skardon Baker  as head of its large European Principal Finance (EPF) special situations funds and its European RE platform. Other notable names are partners who report to Baker such as  Ed Jones ,  Ivo Kolev ,  Samuele Cappelletti  and  Seb Zillas .  Ben Eppley  leads the CRE debt business, while  Boris Olujic  and  Frederick Neske  lead the core-plus RE business. The European real estate team collaborates closely with their credit and equity colleagues around the globe, including  Jamshid Ehsani , a partner in Apollo  s credit franchise that originated the Vonovia transaction. Baker said Apollo had ‘unique and flexible capital  , helping it capitalise on the illiquidity and market distress currently underway in many European markets.

4  The Blackstone Group

No prizes for guessing Blackstone makes it onto the list given its track record, vast financial investing resources, and ability to play in both large cap equity and debt spaces. The firm is a perennial dealmaker, making it to Number One spot in the annual PropertyEU Top 100 Dealmakers ranking with a combined 21.1 bn worth of transactions for the year 2022. There will be no slacking off. Head of Europe real estate,  James Seppala , told PropertyEU in a recent interview that Europe was providing compelling investment opportunities. He added: In fact, Europe is the most active area for capital deployment on a global basis at the moment.   The firm is working towards a first close of its latest Europe opportunistic fund, Blackstone Real Estate Partners Europe VII (BREP Europe VII), seeking $10 bn (9.2 bn) of equity commitments.   

5  Cheyne Capital Real Estate

One of the most active credit firms out there, this firm is certainly one to watch. Since launching in 2000, Cheyne Capital has become one of Europes leading alternative investment managers. Headquartered in London, it invests across the capital structure from the senior debt to equity of corporates and real estate. Real estate investments account for approximately half of the firms 10 bn under management and span direct real estate lending, securitised European real estate debt and selective special situations, including impact real estate investing in affordable and specialist housing. In real estate lending, it has carved out a niche for specialised non-bank loans to borrowers in select European markets, staying flexible to invest into all parts of the capital stack. Market participants say  Arron Taggart , head of UK investment, along with  Raphael Smadja  and  Daniel Schuldes , co-heads of Europe, are key people to know. 

 6  Starwood Capital Group

More typically, the US group is known as an opportunistic equity investor, but it also combines this with credit. In Europe, the firm continues to be very active and is expected by many to play a part in the unfolding dislocation in the region. The company has been working credit situations in the US for over 30 years and has deployed almost $100 bn in commercial real estate lending globally since 2009. But Europe is becoming a major focus according to  Lorcain Egan , MD and co-head of Europe responsible for the groups lending platform. He said in an interview that its international lending business is now nine times bigger than it was in 2018. He confirmed Europe was a huge growth area and the dynamics were ‘as good as the firm has seen for at least a decade.   He joined the company in 2013, having been a VP at Barclays Bank in its structured property debt finance team in London. The big push in Europe began in 2018 when the company saw the potential for non-bank lenders to fill a gap left by banks. 

 7  KKR

KKR is another of the US private equity alternatives firms expected to play a greater part in matters going forward. Global head of real estate, Ralph Rosenberg, wrote in his second-quarter review recently: ‘In our view, the dislocation may create a once-in-a-decade investing opportunity in real estate, but investors should also be prepared to weather the storm.   He points to the second and third-order effects of banks pulling back and a potential looming credit crunch due to the sudden rise in interest rates. He wrote that this creates the potential for a credit crunch impacting certain owners and asset types that will no longer have the same access to debt capital  . Market participants say in Europe  Ali Imraan  is one to watch as head of European real estate credit. He joined KKR in January 2022 having previously been at Citi bank, Royal Bank of Scotland, and most recently MD of debt investments and special situations at LaSalle Investment Management. KKR launched a European real estate debt platform last year. On the equity side, it is currently raising KKR Real Estate Partners Europe III. Its second fund closed on $2.2 bn (  2 bn). 

 8  Brookfield Asset Management

With its long-term investment focus, the Canadian firm will always be found where there is an opportunity to be had. In recent years, it has invested significantly across Europe, with over   45 bn of assets in nine different countries and across a number of different sectors, including alternative real estate segments where it has been building platforms. Transactions of particular note include the establishment of a life sciences platform, ARC, and the acquisitions of Hibernia REIT and Befimmo. One has to expect it will continue to find big new opportunities to create value, in some cases driven by credit issues or public companies finding it more challenging to raise money. The company has plenty of firepower at its disposal and is said most recently to be seeking $15 bn of equity for its flagship strategy.  Brad Hyler  is managing partner and head of Brookfield  s real estate business in the region. 

 9  LaSalle Investment Management

Michael Zerda  is the go-to professional here for debt, equity, and everything in between. As co-CIO for Europe and head of debt and private equity strategies, he oversees a business regarded as much more than just lending but tapping into the team  s hybrid opportunistic equity and special situations roots in this market. He helped create LaSalles debt and special situations business after the global financial crisis, left in 2015 to join Blackstone as head of Europe real estate debt strategies, and rejoined LaSalle in 2021 in a new elevated role. LaSalle lending business has become very active recently across whole loans and mezzanine, recently providing a   325 mln mezzanine loan to refinance a large Iberian hotel portfolio, among others.

Zerda brought on board  David White  to head LaSalle  s real estate debt strategies in Europe and  Blake Loveless  to lead its European private equity division.
