Who we are
Founded April 2006
Welcome! GRID CAZA Reston is a real estate investment community-based in Reston, 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.

Meet the GRID Community Leaders
About Nicole
Nicole Renzetti is a real estate agent specializing in first-time homebuyers and short-term rental investors.
She is licensed in both Virginia and West Virginia and serves as the eXp Young Professionals State Leader for West Virginia.
As a GRID Leader of the real estate investment community in Reston, VA, Nicole brings her expertise to the room to help buyers, sellers, and investors confidently navigate the market and build wealth.
About Malinda
Malinda Kilday started her entrepreneurial journey at 17, refusing to follow the traditional path.
A top student with a 3.8 GPA, she graduated with three diplomas and had a bright future in college but knew a 9-to-5 wouldn’t build generational wealth. After trying different ventures—including almost getting scammed in dropshipping—she asked herself: What’s real? The answer was real estate.
She went all in, convincing her parents to use her college fund to pay down their house and dedicating herself fully to the industry. Today, Malinda flips homes, stops foreclosures, and helps homeowners in distress sell their properties. She is passionate about providing real solutions, using her knowledge, experience, and relentless drive to make a real impact in people’s lives.
Her journey isn’t about success—it’s about proving that taking risks, betting on yourself, and not settling for ordinary is what it takes to create a legacy that lasts.
About Brandon
Brandon Wagner is an investor-friendly and investment-focused real estate agent who brings firsthand experience to the table—because he’s an investor himself.
With deep knowledge of cash flow, appreciation, long-term rentals (LTR), mid-term rentals (MTR), short-term rentals (STR), and fix-and-flip strategies, Brandon understands exactly what fellow investors are looking for.
He also offers access to a wide network of trusted professionals in the investment space, including private and hard money lenders, property managers, contractors, wholesalers, and more. Through CAZA, Brandon helps clients navigate the investment landscape with a true one-stop-shop approach.
A Frederick, Maryland native, Brandon has called Northern Virginia home since 2018. In July 2022, he married the love of his life and made a bold leap—leaving a career in aerospace engineering to pursue his passion for real estate. Outside of work, he’s all about adventure, travel, sports, and lifelong learning.

As an agent, I specialize in working with investors.
I am the househack king.
I am interested in sharing my path and showing people how they can go from their W-2 jobs to full-time in real estate.

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.
