So in that case maybe you wouldn't want to go buy a rental property, but rather increase other investments. Or if you owned REITs in your investments you might reduce your exposure to compensate.

I think that makes sense to some extent and see your point there. I just don't happen to count our home as part of our investment portfolio or asset allocation, so I don't look at it that way. We've had the "is your home an investment" discussion here a few times so I guess it depends on your answer to that question.
