Ron Cadman: Where Americans Are Moving (and Not Moving)

Moving is one of the biggest life decisions you’ll make for multiple reasons. For starters, where you live may determine your employment opportunities. In addition, your locale will determine the types of social connections you can make, and in turn, it will affect your overall quality of life. For this reason, you may be interested in finding out what the most popular and the least popular places to move to were in 2019. Here’s a rundown on both, according to real estate developer Ron Cadman of Investar USA.

Idaho in 2019 ranked as the top state for people to relocate to. This may not be surprising considering that Idaho has a relatively low cost of living and crime rate.

The other states that drew the most movers in 2019 include Washington, North Carolina, New Mexico, Tennessee, Rhode Island, Arizona, Alabama, the District of Columbia, and Texas.

On the flip side, the top state for people to move away from in 2019 is New York. The main reason for this is the high cost of living there. However, many individuals have also chosen to relocate from New York due to the harsh winter season there. In addition, many companies are moving their operations to warmer climates, so New Yorkers who would like more job opportunities are moving South -- for example, to Texas – to take advantage of the employment opportunities there.

The other nine states that lost the most residents in 2019 include West Virginia, South Dakota, Illinois, Louisiana, New Jersey, Delaware, Nebraska, Indiana, and Connecticut.

Research shows that the number of moves in the United States decreased between 2018 and 2019, according to Ron Cadman. However, 2020 offers a fresh opportunity for people to embrace the potential of relocating to new cities and expanding their comfort zones, horizons, and work or play opportunities.

Ron Cadman: Should You Invest in an Apartment or a Single-Family Home?

With the spring season in full swing, you may be gearing up to embark on some real estate investing. The question is, should you invest in a single-family home or an apartment building? Many investors become intimidated by apartment buildings that feature more than five units. However, large apartment units carry great promise for investors when compared with single-family residences, according to Ron Cadman, a co-director of Investar USA development firm. Here is a rundown on why you should invest in an apartment building this spring. The biggest reason to invest in an apartment building is that valuations are handled differently between an apartment complex and a single-family home. With the latter, your property value will end up fluctuating when you compare your home with your neighbor’s. However, a larger apartment complex is valued based on the income approach. With this approach, the value of your property will depend on your building’s net operating income, not on neighboring

What’s in store for the housing market in 2020?

2020 is fast turning out to be an up-and-up year for the housing sector, driven by increased job markets and low mortgage rates. However, those in the market for a new home this year may have problems looking for one, according to Ron Cadman of residential and commercial property developer Investar USA. Real estate professionals say that generally speaking, the growth of the housing industry this year will be solid but modest and will carry over to 2021. This is driven by expert anticipation that the sector will finally have a real effect on GDP growth. And because of the mixture of more people getting employed and interest rates plummeting, consumer spending will increase, and more people will be shopping for new residential properties. The positive developments are bolstered by the recent signing of the Phase One deal in the ongoing U.S.-China Phase trade talks. And, though much has yet to be done to improve foreign relations with the Asian nation ultimately, players in the r

This is not a typical recession says Ron Cadman of Investar USA.

  This is not a typical recession says Ron Cadman of Investar USA. This is not a typical recession says Ron Cadman of Investar USA. People have lost jobs due to a government induced recession and Congress decided to break until September with no regard for the mess they created. Politics is taking priority over collaboration and addressing the real issues impacting America’s working class resulting from Covid-19. Those of us with hard assets are fine and are seeing asset values rise while the working class have lost jobs and are sliding deeper into debt. According to a recent analysis by John Friedman, an economics professor at Brown University, U.S. stocks are hovering near a record high, a stunning comeback since March that underscores the new phase the economy has entered: The wealthy have begun to recover. The bottom half remain far from it. This dichotomy is evident in many facets of the economy, especially in employment. Jobs have returned for the highest wage earners,
