Try to make simplifying, risk-reducing decisions, even if it costs you some expected yield - for example, paying more for a good professional manager.Or just put your money into a total-world index stock fund and call it a day.

With rental property we want high COCRs, otherwise we'd just invest in index funds with a safer and more consistent historical return of 9-10%.

If you invest in index funds or the S&P 500 historically your returns will be 11% and it doesn't take any work all you do is just do automatic deposits into your vanguard index funds and watch it grow over time.
