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...

Ron Cadman: Downtown Las Vegas Is Building Up

Las Vegas may be called Sin City, but what’s happening there on the real estate front is anything but sinful in the eyes of many real estate investors and professionals in Alberta, Canada, and the United States. Key construction projects are bringing a wealth of jobs to the downtown areas of Las Vegas these days, and the benefits are plentiful, according to Ron Cadman of Investar USA. Let’s take a look at how Las Vegas’s real estate projects are being viewed as a boon to the local economy. A city councilman in Las Vegas, Cedric Crear, this past spring hosted a fair for people seeking jobs due to the large amount of construction taking place in the city’s downtown area. The goal of the fair was to help people to learn how they could take full advantage of these construction industry job opportunities during a job fair this past summer. One company that helped with the event is Martin-Harris Construction, which was working on a brand-new municipal courthouse in the downtown area. Cre...

Ron Cadman: What to Expect from the Multifamily Market

You’re on the prowl for a potentially lucrative area of the real estate market in Alberta, Canada, but you’ve come to a standstill. Times are changing, and you’re wondering how you can make the most of the current market -- a market filled with groups of people from multiple generations looking for homes. In light of the current market situation, the multifamily market may be a wise area to zero in on, according to Ron Cadman of Investar USA. Multifamily housing has been one of the top property market segments for decades. In fact, both institutional and private investors are especially active in this investment class. Part of the reason for this is that multifamily housing appeals to millennials, which make up the biggest generation in Canada. Millennials are turning to multifamily housing because they are generally having trouble securing home loans due to their large student debt and high cost of housing. In addition, they embrace the convenience that comes with living near their ...

Ron Cadman Explains Why Single-Family Housing Should be Part of a Multifamily Property Investment Strategy

While multifamily housing is an excellent addition to a real estate portfolio, many rental investors are neglecting to investigate the benefits of the single-family housing asset class. In the following article, Ron Cadman discusses single-family housing investment strategies, and what makes this approach so successful for such a diverse segment of investors. Ron Cadman is a real estate professional, specializing in multifamily housing. Single-family housing may not seem like a significant revenue generator – in fact, it can sometimes take a fair amount of time and energy to begin to accumulate a worthwhile return – it is nonetheless a highly valuable part of a well-structured real estate portfolio.
