Reviews and Success Stories

From Tech Layoffs to Real Estate Success

In April 2023, Meta's massive layoffs displaced over 10,000 employees, including Dayo Jegede. Born in Nigeria and determined to pursue the American dream, Dayo refused to see this as the end of his story. With failure not an option, he pivoted to real estate, raising capital from friends and family to fund his first deal.

After tirelessly searching for opportunities, he connected with Matthew Deavenport, a Principal Investment Advisor at RFP Homes. "Matthew was incredibly transparent and always available, no matter the time of day, to help me understand every detail," Dayo recalls. "What really set RFP apart was their exclusive marketplace—I had access to off-market deals I couldn't find anywhere else, giving me a real competitive advantage."

Remarkable Results in Record Time

That first flip—a $195,000 property in Fort Worth, TX—turned into a $320,000 sale after $50,000 in rehab, delivering an impressive 35% ROI and igniting his passion for real estate investing.

Less than a year later, Dayo has closed on his 11th property, all sourced through RFP Homes' exclusive marketplace. His latest success—a South Dallas flip completed in just 90 days—earned him a $50,000 profit and solidified his reputation as a savvy investor. "RFP's marketplace saves me countless hours of searching. While other investors are still looking, I'm already under contract," Dayo explains.

Scaling for the Future

Now running his own fund, Blooming Edge Capital, Dayo plans to scale from one flip a month to three in 2025, with an eye on land development and new construction—all guided by RFP Homes' expert advisors. "RFP's honesty, support, and exclusive deal flow have been the foundation of my growth," Dayo shares.

His story is one of resilience and reinvention, and we're proud to have been part of his journey from displaced tech worker to successful real estate entrepreneur.
