"Murray has done a great job writing a book that both newbie commercial investors and those with more experience will enjoy and find beneficial. I own several single family rentals and a 24-unit apartment building that are all performing well, so I'm not a newbie, but nevertheless I found myself highlighting key insights on almost every page of the book." Take a lesson from Author Brian Murray, who decided he needed an extra source of income and turned it into a multi-million dollar award-winning real estate company." -Goodreads Review "It took me a week to read this book since I found myself stopping to highlight and take notes or thinking of how certain lessons apply to my real estate business." If so, then this book is what you need to read to get practical advice, real-life examples of successes and failures and simple, down to earth business strategies." Mixed with all sorts of personal experiences and numerical breakdowns, he really provides the reader with a 360-degree view of what it means to be a commercial real estate investor."
Reviews
"The book has plenty of examples of the hard work and tenant drama that make real estate investing via commercial building ownership completely different than passive investments like the stock market, but the pride and self-satisfaction from making a positive difference in the lives of tenants and in the community from improving commercial property comes through throughout the book."
"I enjoyed the narrative of the authors personal investment in his first commercial purchase and the additional information provided on commercial real estate has encouraged me to start looking outside the realm of SFR."
"Brian Murray’s book helps the newbie to not only get into investing in real estate, but helping you to see that it is possible to go big. I don’t see any negatives with this book as it helps anyone, newbie or veteran, with getting and staying in the commercial real estate market."
"This is more of a motivational book, like "you can do commercial real estate!"
""Crushing It in Apartments and Commercial Real Estate: How a Small Investor Can Make It Big" by Brian H Murray, is an excellent read for anyone already in or thinking about going into real estate. I do enjoy how this book isn't just for real estate professionals but its also for beginners (Like me and my fiance). Its great that a lot of the advice he offers doesn’t require someone to be wealthy by any standards."

"If you do well with the book you will do well with the test."
"I had paid a lot more money to an online provider to try to pass this exam and after watching endless hours of two chumps babble on and reading all the material they provided and taking their online tests and scoring an average of 90% on their online tests; I still felt none the wiser."
"I took my test on 1/19 and passed with a 80% this book was very helpful in clearly laying out how the laws work with each other."
"Who knew that a $9 book can be so impactful - excellent product. Spend $300+ on NMLS preparation & exam prep elsewhere that did not even compare to the information found here in my case. $9 kindle + meticulous studying = 84% passing score on 5/17/2016 (would have been higher if not for newly implemented scenario questions). Thank You very much. for future MLOS - put the time in and study hard."
"This is everything you need to pass the MLO national exam. The end of chapter summaries were essential for studying."
"Got the kindle version, a friend wanted some help on mortgage training so I checked it out for her."
"Most course are regulated by mortgage industry so they don't teach you about 60 percent of the material needed to pass this book does."
"1, 2 or 3 stars for this book?"

Reviews
"This author's strength is her ability to teach, and like all good teachers, she has learned to tell her audience what she's going to tell them, then tell it to them, and finally tell them what she's told them. She has a talent for breaking down the complicated financial concepts that most of us find terrifying into simple, easily-digested, non-threatening bites. I once paid a higher rate for automobile insurance although I have a perfect driving record and didn't owe anyone a dime. Shopping around for a lower interest rate (for a mortgage, say) won't "ding" your credit score, but renting a car might, IF you pay with a debit card. Whether you're trying to stay out of a hole or already deeply in one, this book will give you hope and the skills you need to improve your financial life."
"Avery is very good at explaining everything at such a simple yet effective way."
"Avery shows what goes on behind-the-scenes with your credit score and how you can improve it."
"As a banker I am always looking for ways to explain credit scores and how to repair credit to my clients, I found several tips and ways to explain credit from reading this and will recommend to other bankers and to my clients."
"It breaks down how your credit score works, the most important factors and busts a lot of myths out there."
"Provides straight to the point ways to help get in control of your credit situation while still being very readable and provides information that you can use right away."
"A very informative book to read."

The Book on Rental Property Investing: How to Create Wealth and Passive Income Through Smart Buy & Hold Real Estate Investing
Practical, real-world advice for those looking to build wealth and cash flow through rental properties! Brandon Turner’s The Book on Rental Property Investing does that, and does it in a way that puts financial freedom through real estate within reach of anyone who wants it.”. ―J.
Reviews
"This is better then most of the top books on real estate investing, actually explaining "how" to get started and actually steps of action to take. As I read and explored the site I realized this book is amazing and the author knows what he is talking about and actually wants to help instead of asking me to sign up for a week long crash course on making millions of dollars in real estate. This is one of the few books that is not only a good introduction but also has a ton of information for seasoned real estate investors as well."
"This is a good book for newbies to start real estate investment."
"This book is very informative and practical."
"If you want to get serious about rental properties then this is a must read!"
"Great book to reference during the home buying experience."
"Brandon does a good job of categorizing the different aspects of buying and owning rental property and explaining each in layman's terms."
"Fantastic book on real estate investing."
"There are no statistics, no scientific data, no analysis.. just random stories like "I was sitting at a Chinese restaurant, I opened my fortune cookie, and it told me that I'm meant for greater things so I decided to invest in real estate." I'm sorry, but if you're going to suggest people throw all their life savings into one basket, you should maybe give them some hard facts. Instead I was reading about a guy who had loads of luck and managed to build his rental property empire. A piece of free advice from me - if you're going to invest in property, do your own research and don't think it's as easy and as glamorous as some people might make it sound."
