the reality is that this youtube thing is not likely to be permanent as a source of income, and i'm sure you realize that. fast forward a year or two from now, when you've sunk everything into a house.
on the one hand, your property taxes are based on your income, not the price of your property. so, if you see your income crash, you could end up paying less in taxes than you'd pay in rent. my parents had friends that won millions on the stock market, bought a house and then paid no taxes on it because they had no income. it's not exactly fair, but you're in a position to take advantage of that.
on the other hand, a big house requires a lot of maintenance. you can get out of that by buying a condo, but then you're paying condo fees. balancing act. further, housing is really not the safest investment, despite what your elders may claim. look at what happened in 2008. it will happen again.
you're probably best off buying a cheap, new house for two reasons. the first is so you're not sinking everything you have into it. the second is to minimize maintenance costs. if you're buying an older house, renovations could very well offset inflation - if you even get inflation. housing will crash again when the boomers start dying off.
renting will give you a point of stability. it might seem like you're wasting money, but if you really crunch the numbers you'll find out you're probably not. you'll have more disposable income, which you will soon realize the importance of. and, you won't have to move when you have to actually get an actual job.
