"Capital is Everywhere! How Smart Investors Find It, Raise It, and Use It!" with Michael Ponte

Guest Speaker:🎤
Michael Ponte is the founder of Prosperity Real Estate Investments Ltd., a company he launched in 2002 that now manages more than 235 residential and commercial units valued at over $30 million across Canada.

While building his own portfolio, Michael discovered a bigger passion—helping other investors succeed. That’s why he created Savvy Investor, a thriving community where thousands of investors connect, share knowledge, and grow together. It’s become one of Canada’s most active and trusted networks for real estate education and collaboration.

To take things further, he launched Elevate Academy, a hands-on training platform that gives investors the skills, strategies, and confidence to buy smarter, raise capital, and scale into multi-family projects. Today, Elevate is recognized as one of Canada’s top real estate training programs, built to help investors avoid costly mistakes and build businesses that last.

Whether he’s growing his portfolio, speaking at industry events, or mentoring through Savvy Investor and Elevate Academy, Michael’s mission is simple: to equip investors with the knowledge, tools, and community they need to create long-term success in real estate.

Andrew Rocha is a real estate investor, finance leader, and educator focused on helping families build sustainable wealth without sacrificing the things that matter most.

Before building his real estate portfolio, Andrew paid off over $60,000 of personal debt in under seven months, an experience that shaped his disciplined, systems driven approach to money. Over the past five years, he has since built a diversified real estate portfolio of 10 plus rental doors across Central Alberta and completed multiple property flips, applying long term thinking and practical ex*****on at each stage.

Professionally, Andrew serves as a Community Partnership Manager at ATB Financial, where he works closely with individuals, entrepreneurs, business owners, and community organizations across Central Alberta. His role provides broad exposure to how capital, risk, and long term decision making shape both businesses and households, informing how he evaluates growth and sustainability.

"The Gold Standard in Real Estate Success – The forgotten skill you need to master in 2026"

There are 3 essential skills to being a long term, successful real estate investor. The least talked about of these skills is the most important.

Once you master this skill:

- Banks will be fighting for your business giving you the best possible terms.
- Raising Capital will become seamless.
- Deals will flow to you, no more chasing!
- Managing your properties will become easy, no more headaches.

Raising Capital and Sourcing deals are important, but becoming a POWER OPERATOR is the most critical skill, and will be essential in 2026 and beyond.

Join me on Wednesday, as I show you the exact steps to become an unshakable power operator this year so you will not only survive, but lead others into 2026.

Capital Seeks Competence - and that's what this presentation is all about. I will give an update of the multifamily market in Edmonton along with my predictions. I will also illustrate actual case studies and my action plan to transform your portfolio this year and beyond.
