HELP: New agent / 22 yrs old / quitting "excellent" job

[Andrew Ruboyianes]

Hello Biggerpockets - my name is Andrew I am 22 years old and am currently work (50hrs/week) in business development at a global consulting firm in Omaha, NE. I am also in the final phases of getting my RE license and am looking to transition into real estate full-time within the next year (looking to work 20-30 hours/week on top of my job). 

My goal is to make the transition once I find myself having to sacrifice my RE career for my current job

Hopefully, that short backstory provided everyone with the context they needed if not please note your questions in the replies and I can add additional information as needed. 

Here are my questions:

- I will be learning the RE business over the next 12 months in Omaha (because my job is there), but I am interested in relocating to a tier 1 market like NYC or LA. Where would be a few best places to move?

- How can I maximize my learning over the next 12 months? 

- Any tips you have. 

I appreciate everyone who took the time to read this post and look forward to reading your replies. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to connect. 

- Andrew
