So right now I'm going for Petroleum engineering due to the fact that I work for an oil and gas company and I have a bright future with the company I work for that being said I'm purchasing my first rental property this month and will be doing the BRRR'd and if it works out for me should I start thinking about changing my major into more of a business degree or finance or maybe even real estate to have a better understanding of what realtors really think.

I wouldn't change your degree.  If you were to change it, I would change it to a different type of engineering.  An engineer can do business development and RE, but a Real estate agent or business analyst can't be an engineer.
