Lastly try making a website then optimize it with SEO and ads.

On the market curve that does indeed mean that this is not the optimal time to be buying NNN properties. 

My impression has been that if the Bay Area falls significantly, then most of those other hot markets drop quickly behind it.So, if you were someone with absolute perfect timing, maybe the optimal play would have been to get out of the Bay Area a couple years ago, to continue riding the perfect wave upwards in markets that are now outperforming us (and subsequently getting out before the next correction).

Optimize your efficiency and focus on high-value activities.

And one can optimize one's exit strategies to maximize both cash-flow and appreciation for now or later.

Some pay way to much for convenience of the deal as is well publicized especially in the day when Californians who could not believe they could buy a whole house for 50k.. this is the same mentality of the Aussies heck their transfer tax in AU is as much as these houses in many cases and they rationalize their purchases accordingly...So for this site I think it provides both sides of the equation and the reader lurker can decided to order off the menu either ala carte or the full meal with white linens and full service

Landlords buy more but don't optimize what they own.

If there's a city that is trending toward 20%+ population growth over the next 10 years, especially in an optimal demographic mix, that's a pretty safe bet for solid appreciation.

@Brie Schmidt I think your idea of "optimizing" is spot on.
