Yes. Depending on your circumstances it might be the only way but still requires commitment. Full time focus acts as a forcing mechanism to avoid passively searching.

A few thoughts: Define your scope. If you’re working part-time, you likely can’t boil the ocean. Pick a narrower industry focus or geography where you can build momentum and credibility faster. Use leverage wherever possible. Virtual assistants, interns, off-the-shelf data sources, even automation tools, anything that buys you back time is worth it. Expect a longer runway. Most part-time searches take longer to reach an LOI because deal sourcing and relationship building are slow. That’s not necessarily a problem if you’ve planned your personal finances and expectations accordingly. The big risk is that sellers and brokers sometimes sense when a searcher isn’t “all-in,” and they worry about certainty of close. You can counter that by being professional: showing proof of funds, having your legal/financing partners lined up, and moving quickly once you see something real.
