The largest event of the year just took place virtually, and Peter Altobelli is welcomed back to discuss the top five highlights from the Toronto Real Estate Forum. Peter is Vice President of Yardi Systems and a regular guest on the podcast.
With so much good content, it’s hard to narrow it down to just 5 highlights. Aaron, Adam, and Peter focus heavily on thoughts expressed by the industry-leading guests in attendance and why 2021 is poised to be a great year for real estate.

- The relation between educator, innovator, and regulator.
- #3: Stephen Poloz (9th Governor of the Bank of Canada) on how market delays are very costly, and the solution is to spend.
- Central banks thinking differently than anyone else.
- The management of debt after the second World War.
- #2: Senior leaders in the industry discussing risks, challenges, and opportunities post-pandemic.
