Would love to hear some people's opinions and feedback about the following question:

Do you think it is important to have prior job experience working a steady 9-5 before investing in real estate?

@Yazeed A.,

In my local investing group, we have two brothers from South Korea. They are in their 20's, have some 31 units paying them rents and have never held jobs.
