Welcome to VIC Capital Partners

Your path to passive real estate investing.

VIC Capital Partners is the investment arm of the Vaughan Investors Club, founded by Martin Kuev, Sandy Mackay and Chris Chopite.

What passive means

You bring the capital. We do the work.

As a passive investor, you invest money alongside an experienced operating team. You don't manage the property day to day. The team finds the property, improves it, runs it, and eventually refinances or sells it, following a business plan you see before you invest.

Your investment is tied to a real building. In our deals, investors are registered on title, so your capital is secured directly against the property itself. You'll know exactly which building you're invested in, and the offering documents set out how your security works.

VIC Capital invests in Ontario real estate, mostly multifamily and also single-family. Investments may be structured as joint ventures, syndications or other appropriate structures. Single-family can be a better fit if you'd rather not share a deal with many other investors.

Is passive right for you?

It can give you: real estate ownership without the day-to-day work, professional execution, potential cash distributions and equity growth, and your time back.

The trade-offs: less direct control, a longer time horizon, limited liquidity (your money is tied up until the plan is complete), and reliance on the operator.

Active investing may help maximize return on your capital. Passive investing may help protect your time. The right choice depends on you, and we're happy to talk both through.

Inside a VIC Capital deal

The life of an investment

Every property follows a business plan you can read before you invest. Here's how a typical plan unfolds.

  1. Find and buy it right

    We look for Ontario properties that already produce rent and can be improved, and we buy only when the numbers work at the price we pay. Most of the value in a deal is decided on the day it's bought.

  2. Improve the property

    Renovations, better management and fair, market-level rents raise the building's income and its value, and make it a better place for tenants to live.

  3. Stabilize and refinance

    Once the building is improved and fully rented, it can be refinanced on its new appraised value. Where the plan allows, a refinance may return part of investors' capital early.

  4. Hold and collect rent

    Tenants' rent pays the mortgage, taxes and running costs. Each year the mortgage balance goes down while the building is held as a long-term asset.

  5. Report as we go

    You receive regular reports and material updates, so you always know how your building is doing, not just at the end.

  6. Exit the plan

    Plans are typically built around a 5 to 7 year hold. At the end, the property is sold or refinanced and capital and any profits are paid out according to the investment documents.

Timelines and outcomes depend on each property and on the market. Returns are never guaranteed.

Protecting your capital

How we secure your investment

The first question every good investor asks is "how do I get my money back?" Here's how we're set up to answer it.

Registered on title

Investors are registered on title, so your capital is secured directly against the building itself. You know exactly which property you're invested in.

A real, income-producing asset

Your money is backed by bricks and mortar with tenants paying rent every month, not a number on a screen. Rent covers the mortgage and costs while the debt is paid down.

Numbers before excitement

Every property is underwritten before we buy: purchase price, renovation budget, rents, financing and the exit. If the numbers don't work, we walk away.

A regulated process

We always talk with you first. Investments are then completed through an exempt market dealer, with Know-Your-Client, accreditation and suitability checks, under Ontario securities law.

An experienced team

The VIC team brings ownership and operating experience across more than $200 million in real estate assets and hundreds of units.

Ask our investors

Don't just take our word for it. We're happy to walk you through our track record and introduce you to people who have invested with us.

Security and terms are set out in each opportunity's offering documents. Real estate investments involve risk and you could lose money.

Compliance

Compliant with Ontario securities law

Every VIC Capital investment is structured and offered in accordance with applicable securities laws, including Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) requirements, through VIC's approved legal and exempt market dealer (EMD) compliance process.

The OSC does not endorse or approve individual investments. Real estate investments involve risk, returns are never guaranteed, and you could lose money. Read the offering documents and talk to your own advisors before you invest.
