Edward Patrick Akinyemi

Since late 2020, I’ve been deeply involved in real estate development, acquisitions, and property management. As the Co-Founder and COO of Demeter's Developments, I’ve raised hundreds of thousands of dollars in investor equity, leveraged private money loans from friends and family, managed over 50 rental units, and supervised over 35 property rehab projects in which I turned unlivable properties into stabilized rentals. Portfolio: https://www.demetersdevelopments.com/past-current-deals Since July 2026, I'm a licensed real estate agent for eXp Realty. I donate 5% of my commissions to rent assistance funds. I understand the investor mindset because I’m in it every day. Many people want to invest in real estate but are priced out of expensive markets like the Bay Area, New York City, and other highly competitive markets. I know that many are looking at the Midwest as a more affordable alternative but popular Ohio hubs like Columbus and Cleveland have also become so crowded and expensive that the margins just aren't what they used to be. That’s exactly why I focus on the affordable Richland County and Mansfield area. If you're looking to step away from hyper-inflated markets and want a trusted real estate expert who also invests in the area that he does business in, let’s connect!
