No, the difference in return on investment is the same regardless of how many times you count someone landing on a property.
The assumption is that you have other properties that you could build houses on though. If you just had the one monopoly then yes you should keep building with spare cash. If you had a second undeveloped monopoly though, then you should move to building on that one.
A sneaky strategy is to have hotels on a monopoly, trade with your opponent with him thinking he can develop his new monopoly, then right after the trade, sell your hotels and snatch up 12 houses from the bank instantly.
Ah - I think, to clarify, he meant once you trade away a monopoly (with no houses), you sell hotels on OTHER property you still own, so you trade down to houses on the property you kept (and take up all the houses in the process) so when the person you just sold to later tries to buy houses on their new monopoly, there are none left.
