Who we are
Founded January 2024
Welcome! GRID Springfield is a real estate investment community based in Springfield, Ohio—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 your GRID Community Leaders
About Jenny
Hello! I'm Jenny and I'm a wife, mom, Realtor®, and GRID leader!
I live, work, and invest in Springfield, OH! I specialize in on market 1%+ buy and holds and potential flips. I've been working with investors for several years and love helping folks in Springfield because of the abundance of opportunities and the ways that ethical and growth oriented investors improve the community. My contribution to my household is my real estate work and I'm in my third year as an agent. As a former Spanish teacher, I am proud to be able to work a person facing job and help others reach their investing goals.
An investor myself, along with my husband, we've purchased over 10 properties together and currently have 3 doors in our personal portfolio, as well multiple long term rentals and a commercial space/micro office business in partnership with the family. I have experience assisting with the sale and purchase of short-term rentals, long term rentals, commercial spaces, fix and flips, and personal homes- almost all in Springfield!
I've helped out of state and local investors on their first deals by finding and analyzing on-market properties for them. I send out a weekly email with all of the current on market 1%+/potential flip deals. I am thrilled to join my town's GRID leadership team to be able to be a bigger part of this network!

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. I left the event feeling not only well-informed but also inspired to take the next steps in my real estate journey. I highly recommend this event to anyone interested in the real estate market.
