What we’re about
Welcome to GRID!
GRID Springfield 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.

See all- How To Build Your Investment Dream Team: Accomplish More Through RelationshipsCOhatch Springfield, Springfield, OH
Real estate investing is a great business, partly because you have no "boss" and no office politics since the business can be done successfully by one person or a small partnership.
But does that mean you never have to deal with other people?
Nope! And you shouldn't want to, anyway.
One of the greatest things about being a real estate investor is that you get to choose who you work with.
Unlike a traditional office where you're at the mercy of whoever else the company hires, being an investor means you can build your own dream team of individuals who work as hard as you do and share your ambition.
We have a team of fellow professionals and others who bring us deals, help our business and get business in return. It's a beautiful circle and it will make you money.
Come find out how at this month's meeting. We will discuss how to build your "dream team" and make it work for you.
Spoiler alert: there will probably be some excellent candidates for your dream team in the room.
Come for the training, stay for the networking!
