Buying Blind (Real Estate)

Thanks to everyone in advance for your feedback. 

I am in the market for a second property and found a potential opportunity but have some concerns. 

The property is bank owned and in the description, they informed interested parties that interior viewing is not possible and instruct buyers to only view the exterior of the property and not to disturb the occupants. 

The home is in a good neighborhood and price below market.  I also found some older pictures of the interior layout but that could have change. 

Has anyone ever blindly purchase a bank owned property with occupants still residing in it and if so, did the occupants vacated after closing or did you need to get the authorities involved? if you did, how long did it take to remove the occupants?

Also, was the property in good condition after the close? 

Thanks,

Again
