I'd wager that my tiny home is of a much higher quality than a majority of the mobile homes out there.

What happened to the Wage rates (???)

Personally, I would not wager a big bet upon str use in Austin.

So obviously investment there with a wager on appreciation would not be the wisest move (not that investing with a wager on appreciation ever is though).

I would wager that there is a REAIA around that is closer to you and more in your market.

I would wager that the framing in this building is acting like a thermal bridge it touches both the inside {warm} and outside {very cold} surfaces ... i.e. the building was not wrapped in a 1"-2" layer of rigid insulation before the finish cladding was installed to provide a thermal break between the exterior skin and the framing (skeleton).]

Knowing you...i'd wager you did that intentionally!

So it sounds like there is not an easy and obvious answer that i've been missing.My property I purchased for 55K (typo) and I would wager that is would appraise for around 75-80 now. 

I'd wager the contractor pulls out fine more than 99% of the time.   

I'm also willing to wager that your rehab costs are too low - $5k in rehab doesn't go very far here.
