REM 28: Brad Cartier - How We Can Fix the Affordable Housing Crisis w/ Brad Cartier

Would you live in a Tiny Home???

In a world that is becoming increasingly digitized, Americans are needing less and less space to live. 

According to recent studies, 23% of all Americans (and 34% of Americans age 18-34) say they would live in a tiny home or heavily consider living in a tiny home. Additionally, tiny home development is expected to increase by $3.5 billion by 2026!

So, what is a tiny home?

In today's episode, Brad Cartier, and I discuss tiny homes, missing middle multifamily, and other potential solutions to the affordable housing crisis in America. Brad explains that tiny homes are roughly 400 sq/ft and are an alternative entry into homeownership for people who are not yet able to afford large down payments for traditional housing. 

Brad Cartier is a cofounder of Blair Capital Asset Management which develops and manages missing middle multifamily in the Ottawa area and he oversees over a portfolio of around 100 rental properties including long, medium, and short-term rentals. Brada writer on all things real estate for Briefcase where he is a co-founder, as well as other outlets such as Motley Fool, Roofstock, and Stessa.

In today’s episode, we discuss…

• Are we in a housing bubble?
• Why fixed rates loans are only 5 years in Canada not 30 years
• What missing-middle multifamily is and why Brad is developing it
• Regulations Canada and California are passing to address the affordable housing issue
