About us
Welcome to GRID!
GRID Denver is a real estate community built by investors for investors. We are a group of real people doing real deals.
Our core mission is to connect to, learn from, and collaborate with like-minded people interested in building wealth and creating impact through real estate.
We welcome investors of all experience levels. We are life-long learners and believe everyone has value to share.

How it works
We meet once a month, 12 months a year, on the same day, week, and time of the month. Each month we cover a different investing topic in the Lifecycle of an Investor—ranging from wholesaling to rehabbing to becoming a bank through private lending.
Our meetings are not sales pitches. They are opportunities for us to dive deep into a real estate topic, connect with local experts in our marketplace, and build long-term relationships with other doers and deal-makers.
All of our events are 100% FREE.

How To Understand Value: Analyzing Deals in Your Market
GRID Denver Meetup, 5975 S Quebec Suite #275, Centennial, CO, USDetermining a property's value is one of the most important skills you must develop as a real estate investor.
The key to understanding real estate values is learning how they impact your deals.
Accurate real estate valuations can help investors make better decisions when it comes to buying and selling properties. Investors must know how to value real estate and make educated guesses about how much profit each will make, whether through property appreciation, rental income, or both.

How To Find Deals: Prospecting, Networking, and Marketing
GRID Denver Meetup, 5975 S Quebec Suite #275, Centennial, CO, USWhere do you find these deals?
It's the first question most folks ask us when discussing real estate investing and for good reason: the best deals aren't just sitting out in the open—you have to work for them.
At this month’s meeting, we'll talk about how to choose an area, how to "brand" your message, how to get that message out to the public, how to manage your marketing, and much, much, more.
Hint, hint: It's all about getting the phone to ring.
