If you only want to do Northern CA, it's worth considering that today's prices are a function of certain economic and demographic patterns, many of them are very complex and hard to understand (despite what many economists think or may say).

For my target demographic, (lower income), affordability, credit quality, ability to save for down payment etc are issues all discussed above.  

That said a 1.9 acre parcel is large enough for a drugstore or gas station but there are a lot of variables that you don't know (zoning, demographics, traffic counts, which retailers are expanding, how much rent they'll pay, etc).

Running short on depreciation expense.Want more passive properties.Want more hands on properties.Re-balance portfolio.Move to a different class of property, like SFR to triple net commercial.They are personally moving and don't want far away properties.Change in family situation.Needing more security.Wanting more risk/speculation,Have enough cash flow, now want appreciation.Got bored with what they have.Chasing demographic changes.Ready for a value add project.Wanting to lever up.Wanting to lever down.Preparing estate for passing on.OK, I'll stop.

You other higher quality assets can then regenerate past that 5% loss and then some in a quick manner.My goal long term is to own high quality assets that present almost zero headache with quality of the area and demographics.

@Jonathan Casillas Most of the higher level economic and demographic information that you'll want can be found at the U.S.
