Think apartments and commercial real estate are just for the big boys? Think again.

Brian Murray was not an investment pro when he bought his first commercial property. He was a teacher looking to build some side income. Armed with his passion for business and a lot of common sense, he developed a simple yet highly effective approach to investing that he still uses today at his multimillion-dollar real estate company.

Crushing It in Apartments and Commercial Real Estate is a beginner's guide to investing based on Murray's experience bootstrapping his way from newbie investor to award-winning CEO of Washington Street Properties. Murray shares the secrets to his success through straightforward, actionable advice that will help you get started no matter what your experience level, or how much cash you have on hand. You'll learn how to:

  • Find and creatively finance commercial property
  • Grow a portfolio without any help from outside investors and without taking on excessive debt
  • Use your small-investor status as a competitive advantage over corporate investors
  • Identify simple, practical ways to increase profits while keeping costs low

Murray also shares real-life stories that reveal exactly how he grew his business, and the hard lessons he learned along the way (so you don't have to). Whether you already invest in real estate and want to go bigger, or you've never owned a property, this book gives you the tools and wisdom you need to crush it in apartments and commercial real estate.

What an incredible wealth of knowledge! Well worth the time and money spent. Most quintessential parts for me was the detailed breakdown of experiences and financial aspects of real estate investment. Awesome.

Perfect for Anyone needing that little push to get started

This was just what I needed to do a sanity check on getting into commercial real estate investing. Brian is a great narrator and keeps your attention as he breaks down for the listener how to make what seems daunting accessible. Very practical information and you will leave with a plan.

Great introduction to a beginner investor

This was the first book I've read read on Commercial Real Estate. I enjoyed this book because the author gave real-world examples and really pushed that CRE was not a key to getting rich quick. One messaged he really emphasized was "DON'T QUIT YOUR DAY JOB". You should go into CRE with a clear head and a spirit of discernment.

I recommend this book to the DAY 1 investor who doesn't know anything about CRE and is looking to figure out what the ABC's are.
