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 book is very informative and practical."
"If you want to get serious about rental properties then this is a must read!"
"I definitely have a new perspective om investing in rental properties."
"Great book to reference during the home buying experience."
"After purchasing this book it has really helped me understand rental properties much better."
"Brandon does a good job of categorizing the different aspects of buying and owning rental property and explaining each in layman's terms."
"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."

"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."
"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."

A Fine Mess: A Global Quest for a Simpler, Fairer, and More Efficient Tax System
New York Times bestelling author T. R. Reid travels around the world to solve the urgent problem of America's failing tax code, unravelling a complex topic in plain English - and telling a rollicking story along the way. Crammed with loopholes and special interest provisions, it works for no one except tax lawyers, accountants, and huge corporations. Successful American companies like Apple, Caterpillar, and Google effectively pay no tax at all in some instances because of loopholes that allow them to move profits offshore. Never talking down or reflexively siding with either wing of politics, T. R. Reid presses the case for sensible root-and-branch reforms with a companionable ebullience. His eye for the telling detail is sharp… Those unfamiliar with economics, accounting or tax law will be better able to understand these subjects by reading “A Fine Mess.”… With enough readers, Reid might even help us to initiate real tax reform by replacing a tax code so complex it includes the anti-complexity rule in Section 7803(c)(2)(B).”— David Cay Johnston, The New York Times Book Review “A fun book on taxes. Throughout his well-reported, clearly written exposé of United States tax policy, [Reid] reveals the follies of the concept of American exceptionalism and the misguided pride of presidents, members of Congress, and Internal Revenue Service commissioners….Though Reid's topic may be anathema to many readers, he makes it relentlessly revelatory and simple to understand.” — Kirkus Reviews [starred].
Reviews
"To help us prepare, Reid has written A Fine Mess, an interesting and informative look at our own tax system and tax systems of other developed countries around the world, from Austria to New Zealand. We can read of the elaborate tax evasion schemes used by large corporations, like “inversions”, and get outraged at special provisions like “carried interest” whereby brokers who invest other people’s money can treat their own compensation as capital gains rather than ordinary income, thereby allowing Warren Buffet to pay a lower tax rate than his secretary. Most of his recommendations are no-brainers like retaining a progressive tax rate system, reducing complexity, and eliminating special provisions that benefit some small favored company or group."
"Reid is certainly right in arguing that a major reason for our "fine mess" is the way we go about making public policy in a presidential/congressional system which makes it hard for us to do anything quickly or coherently, even when we aren't as divided as we are today--a point he also made in his book on health care. As a comparative political scientist, he is mentioned in my textbook for his books on Confucianism, the EU, and health care."
"READ THIS BOOK!!! Bottom line it is congress who makes out misery."
"Everyone needs to read this book."
"I like Reid's book, as it reveals taxes in a way that most people can understand."
"It drives me nuts when politicians say that people need "to pay their fair share". A 5th grade education in math suggests that this is not possible... someone has to pay more if the government is going to bring in more money."
