From what you wrote, @Morgan Chan, it looks like the lender’s credit bid was $300K. Thus, the lender got the property back at that price. Your bid would have to exceed $300K.

To be an “Eligible Tenant Buyer” you must occupy the property as your primary residence at the time of the sale, with a proper lease dated before the NOD was recorded, and you cannot be a member of the borrower's family. There are lots more rules and the process is very technical and unyielding.

Consider AB-175 which clarified SB-1079 and significantly tightened it.

Call the trustee that represents the lender and ask them what they require. If they can’t or won’t help, you will have to call a lawyer to help you through the process.

     Good summation. Also worth mentioning that you only have 15 days to submit the bid declaration.

    What's the enforcement action if you bid but are not a qualified bidder?

    Nothing at all currently. AB 1837 attempts to address that but hey, it's the government so for sure they'll screw it up if 1837 passes.
