Who we are
Founded October 2023
Welcome! GRID Clifton is a real estate investment community based in Clifton, VA—built by investors for investors. We are a group of real people doing real deals in our local marketplace.
Our core mission is to connect to, learn from, and collaborate with like-minded people interested in growing their businesses and creating long-term wealth.
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.

About David
Dave leads the CAZA Clifton real estate team with a hyperlocal focus on one of the last "Small Towns" in Fairfax County.
The CAZA Clifton and Fairfax Station community is a truly charming oasis on the western side of the county with multi-acre properties, a unique and historic downtown, and the last road-level railroad crossing in Fairfax County. This area is filled with homeowners and real estate investors and it only makes sense that this area-specific expertise be shared with the Clifton GRID investor community.
As a successful managing partner of the CAZA Group, when Dave wears his realtor hat, he focuses on helping his listing clients develop the best, smart-money strategy when selling their homes. He guides his sellers in the wisest place to spend renovation dollars, returning them the most money in the shortest amount of time. This perspective benefits Dave's investor contacts as well.
Dave's expertise guides his clients in the 4 P's of the Home Selling Strategy: home preparation to drive the most ROI, home Positioning to create the largest buyer pool, Preservation of Seller's Equity through skilled negotiation, and the Predictability of a proven system producing 100% satisfied clients.
Dave and his realtor wife Denna have enjoyed living and raising their children in Northern Virginia for the past 30 years. They have first-hand knowledge of the neighborhoods, and the schools, and have certainly experienced the area traffic!
We absolutely love the Clifton area and want to share it with you!

Very impressed. Probably the best content packed REI club meeting I’ve been to. If you are investing in real estate you have to join this group. Great assortment of industry professionals in the group as well.

Phenomenal. These guys are the REAL DEAL and exactly who you want to associate yourself with to be successful in real estate investing. Honest, upfront, and experts at what they do I cannot recommend them more highly. From the moment I stepped into my first meetup (6 months ago) they have been nothing short of a class act. Very informative and lots of serious investors, wholesalers, lenders, contractors. As they say, the power is in the network and they have a great one.

GRID is exactly the kind of group I had been looking for as a new investor with a lot of questions and not sure who to trust for answers.
