Don't take our word for it. Here is some typical feedback from one of our members:
"I went to the Virtual Investors Group (VIG) to see if I could learn about SFH investing. And after a few meetups, I ended up learning about that, and a whole lot more; multi-family, mobile home, self-storage, section 8, etc.
The meetups were eye-opening for me. They give me new ideas about what options I can look at, and, once I know about those, I can always find books or podcasts online to learn more.
For a new investor like me, the VIG meetup is a great resource that helps me find an investment direction that is right for me!"

“ My favorite thing about this meetup is that each attendee gets to share who they are and what they're up to, and then socialize right afterward. It takes 20 minutes, and the connections are invaluable. Not sure why every meetup doesn't do this! ”

See all- Confessions of a Real Estate Shiny Object Chaser. With Brad SetterlundEngel & Völkers Danville, Danville, CA
What do you get when you mix a firefighter’s grit with an investor’s curiosity? You get Brad Setterlund, this month’s PIA speaker—and he’s bringing stories, lessons, and laughs from over a decade of chasing (and taming) real estate’s “shiny objects.”
Brad started his investing journey while working full-time as a firefighter—before that, an EMT.
Over the years, he’s explored a lot of different real estate (and alternative) investment paths out there. Here is some of what he will cover:
🏡 House Hacking & Buy and Hold
🔧 Fix and Flips
🏚️ Foreclosures & Notes
🏕️ Mobile Home Parks
📦 Self Storage
🛢️ Oil Wells
📘 Investment-Optimized IULs
🏦 "Income Machines" using Banker StrategiesIn this educational “story time” session, Brad will explain what drew him to each strategy, what he learned, what worked, what didn’t, and why he kept going (or walked away).
Whether you're a new investor or deep into your journey, Brad’s honest, experience-packed talk will leave you informed, inspired, and entertained.
Come for the stories and inspiration. Stay for the networking!
