This is true. I can't speak to the process of buying a home in Argentina but buying a house and moving is a significant change, and leaving your job to go self-employed is another significant change.

Finish the home project before you commit to the self-employment project. Your full-time job is a safety net you won't have when you first go contract.

No harm in putting feelers out meanwhile though, networking and making yourself known in relevant circles. Worst case is that you end up with more full-time job prospects and not freelance ones.
