Who we are
Founded July 2023
Welcome! GRID Shenandoah Valley is a real estate investment community based in Shenandoah Valley, 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.

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.
