I like ARE, alexandria real estate equities, they focus on sub-urban office for life sciences labs/medical, which is something that has to be staffed in person, not from home in your underwear :), they are down 50% in 2 yrs like all the other office REITs, and by valuation have not been this cheap since 2008, but once the panic about "work from home" subsides, their value should rise back up to its historic rate.

But from 2020 through 2023, we experienced a market imbalance fueled by a number of factors:  Revenge vacations resulting in not enough supply, cheap money, and lots of sunshine pumping by "seasoned" real estate pros.So if you bought in 2019, it's likely that today's numbers are working out quite good for you.
