About VIC

A club built by investors, for investors.

We started VIC so nobody has to learn real estate investing the hard way, alone.

Our story

Why we started VIC

After nearly two decades in corporate roles at companies like Coca-Cola, Nestlé and Kraft, Martin moved into real estate full-time, and learned most of what matters from other investors. Chris and Sandy had seen the same thing in their own careers: the people around you make all the difference.

So we built a place where people at every stage can learn, ask questions and find the right partners. Our founders have been investing in real estate for over 10 years, and VIC brings in a team of professionals around them: lawyers, real estate agents, mortgage brokers, contractors, property managers and other real estate professionals.

We started VIC in 2023, and it has grown into a community of more than 3,000 investors.

Our mission

Help you build multiple streams of income, alongside investors like you.

From real estate to stocks to life insurance, we help members understand the options for building long-term, passive income, and we connect you with like-minded investors and trusted professionals while you do it.
