Buying an auction house with tenants in place in Virginia. Need to evict

[John Nisewonger]

So this investor supposedly went bankrupt and they are auctioning off a bunch of his properties here in Virginia.  I wish to put a bid on a property but it currently has tenants in place.

My question is if I win the auction and get the house, what is the best way to evict the tenants.  I HAVE to live in this property since I will be using a first time homebuyer incentive.  Not sure if using that incentive if I need to move in immediately or if tenant can finish off their lease, etc.  I have heard cash for keys and I would obviously try working something out before I have to fork over any cash.

I plan on asking the auctioneer if they currently have a lease agreement.  I have read numerous things and am looking for Virginia Law as they seem to be different everywhere.

Any input or stories would be helpful.  Maybe a step by step process on what I should do would be great too.  My plan was win the bid, close on property than try to meet with tenant.  I wish to get pictures of the inside just in case.  Ask them to leave, offer cash for keys if I have to and if nothing else works evict them.

Thanks guys....and girls of course!
