Currently working FT and trying to save up before taking the full blown SF leap, I am curious if folks have used websites like Flippa and Microacquire as a first step into ownership before going all in on searching.
Learned about searchfunds in school, currently working in M&A so I am only able to carve out a half/full day to really digging into searching and like to imagine (fantasize?) that a small website can give me a taste of ownership to better inform my full time search in the next###-###-#### years.
Any thoughts?
