Experience tells that this income bracket has less of the disposable income required to acquire the extra stuff that needs storage and the $$ to pay timely.

First make sure that your loan needs don't exceed the maximum FHA loan amount.You will need decent credit and a family member with decent credit and enough disposable income to qualify for the mortgage payments who is willing to co-sign the mortgage as a non-occupying co-borrower. 

Here we are to store it for 60-days {supposedly at the tenants expense} and then apply for "release" to dispose of the belongings if unclaimed.

The longer the economic period the more comprehensive the valuation can be and probably should include the future sale or disposable or even a salvage value being brought back the the present value together with the stream of income.You will need to construct pro-forma statements building your best estimation of income and expenses for a vacant property where actual numbers may not be available.

You will also find very explicit limitations and exclusions in your Deed, depending on your locale, for Oil, gas, and mineral rights that had been previously disposed by prior owners.

The entire process of disposing of owed taxes is much like it's own payment plan - cheap interest and short term to redeem.  

They don't need to get caught up on repairsNo need to fix things upNo need to have the house ready for strangers coming through to look at any timeYou can help suggest movers/ packing/ yard sale facilitatorsYou can do the final clean-up and disposal of unwanted items.Good luck. 

The owner wanted to dispose of it asap without cleaning and listing it.
