Maybe the land would appreciate. But unless you removed the wheels, axles and tongue, built a code-compliant foundation and permanently attached the house to it, the Tiny House is not real property and would depreciate just like a mobile home or RV.
Then like any home you need to add the cost of running in electric service, gas, septic system, and well. By that point, seems like one could find a decent used 1400 sq ft stick built house ready to move into.
Also, I think one of the major problems with Tiny Houses is finding somewhere to put them, whether the wheels & axles are left on or not. Most zoning ordinances have minimum square foot requirements for homes and restrictions on living in an RV or mobile tiny home.
