First time buyer & considering changing my profession

[Brennan Hale]

Hi I’m in the okc area, 19 years old making about 60k-70k a year but with a lot of overtime. I’ve been studying real estate and real estate investing for a little over a year now and I’m considering buying my first property maybe by the end of the year. I also want to change my profession into being a realtor. I work 60-70 hours a week, I’m very driven and not afraid of hard work. Would this be a good idea and should I put off buying a home or buy a home and start the licensing process then?

ps I’m in the oil and gas industry
