I was considering opening a ROTH/Self Directed IRA and having it deposited there automatically, so at least I'm building some kind of retirement fund, that I can invest with, but I also have a Brokerage account I could deposit this money to and use it to trade stock/options.

He must have been laughing that day he stitched us up with his realtor.Two years later he's still stuck with it, last I saw, still couldn't even shift for $42k.

Anybody knows if the new buyer should automatically get all the deposits ?

The lesson here is if you don't ask, then the answer is automatically NO.

(Leads aren't automatically sent to the agent, you must pay them big bucks). 

Go A-shift!

if there is a tax lien, then, of course, these people have not been paying taxes. all they want is the money they can get without shelling out any expenses of their own. i would make an offer, close o asking price, contingent upon getting inside, and doing an inspection; then, lower the price based upon what you see. if they will not agree to letting you in, make them a lowball offer based upon the assumption that the place is gutted. as far as the tax lien, if you really want the place, go buy the tax lien from the county. in new york state, you can automatically add a 14% intrest cost onto that which the owners have to pay you when it sells. if they do not pay up in 2 years, you can get a deed to the place. then go wave that in their face and see how quick they move on your lowball offer

My pharmacist license is still current but I only work a dozen or so shifts annually, mostly in home infusion pharmacies, to help long term colleagues.
