Moving out at 18

I was wondering what it would take for me to move out from my parents place at 18, and the requirements for me to meet to do so. How much money I should have saved up, how I can qualify for a job, and if I can get a mortgage for a home. College at this point is not a good idea for me, because I have no interest in pursuing a career in medicine, law, or engineering. I would like to work in sales, property management, or loan officer until I am FI. Coming from an asian background I would end up taking on debt and losing 4 years in college because of societal norms, many influencers have repeatedly claimed college is not the move right now.

@Vashist D. I was following you until that last statement. For the love of god don't make major life decisions off influencers. You won't qualify for a mortgage until you have some time in a job. Start working on your career now you don't need degrees for what you stated. As far as moving out that is purely personal. I wanted to, but had money and work lined up. If you don't have work lined up how will you cover your cost. Do some real research and get first hand experience not he said she said videos.

Best of luck!
