squatter in a Philadelphia property that I want to buy !

I am trying to buy a house that I can flip with my brother in Philadelphia. I saw a house that I might be interested in but there is a squatter living there and he wont leave. The realtor that I contacted told me that because someone moved in, the property is for sale but sight unseen. So in that case I think I can get a good deal but I am responsible for removing the squatter. What can I do in that case legally?

I live in Boston and I am not familiar with this kind of issue. My brother says its common in some neighborhoods in Philly, he wants to go in and throw the guy out if we decide to buy the house but I don't know if that is the right thing to do.

Has anybody ran into this situation in Philly? 

and I am looking for a good flip for under $50k in N.E Philly, or Germantown, or South Philly
