Have you diversified away from real estate?

It's gotten to the point that I'm 1031 exchanging some of my rental properties for additional rentals. Started out turning primary residences into rentals but held them long enough in most cases that I now have to 1031. But I'm also at the point where I'm considering holding onto proceeds from some sales. I don't see huge upsides as there is only a few years left in the up swing and after transaction costs, it's not that fruitful to buy now and hold for another 5 years or so.

Also, I'm in earthquake country and insurance is a gamble at best as they may deny a claim. To top it off I am way of having all of my money in one asset: real estate. As such I'm considering putting more money into index funds instead of real estate to balance the portfolio out.
