In this first-person account, Nev Owen explains that after years of working in property sourcing while holding another job, he decided to leave his previous role to gain more personal and family time. He enjoys outdoor activities and wants to spend quality time with his family, but his existing property sourcing workflow—searching for properties, valuing them, submitting offers, and following up—required long hours at a desk. Seeking a better work‑life balance, he set out to streamline these tasks so that the entire process could be managed in just one to two hours per day, freeing him from being glued to a laptop.

So I was looking for a way of just, just some way of kind of streamlining that process. To make it more manageable so that I could just spend literally an hour or two each day and do stuff without just being stuck at a laptop the whole day.
