The properties are being sold to me for a combine $92000 but the appraisal cane back at $150000.

If you sold the property with containers on it, don't expect to get the same price as a normal facility would command.

In 2017, 218 sold in the entire DC metro area out of roughly 90,000 home sales.

We have been using the BiggerPockets Rental Property tool to do a preliminary analysis. 

Also a good tool I like to use is rebtometer.com to see what properties in a certain area will rent for.

The property was then sold for $70K below the asking price, so he would have got it if he had simply made the offer. 

You need either all the heirs to sign off likely through probate or buy one party’s interest and file a partition suit to have the property sold, a messier solution.

If I'm not mistaken, there won't be tax tools on this planet to write off even part of it.
