Still, I bought a rental sometimes around 2016-2017 IIRC, and it's still one of the best investments I ever made. Doubled in price, nominally, and took in almost a decade of virtually non-interrupted rent. On paper, it's roughly the same performance as S&P500 in that interval, but still, diversification is useful.

The past does not predict the future unfortunately. Else we should all be dumping money into NVIDIA and BTC.

From a gut feeling viewpoint, something doing very well in the recent past makes me hesitant out of fear that it’s overvalued and will slow or even reverse in the near term.
