Would you bid on auction property you haven't been inside?

[Hen Ley]

I'm interested in bidding on a property scheduled to be auctioned on the courthouse steps.  The property is is tenant occupied-  I've knocked on the door and briefly spoke to the tenant (which in itself feels like overstepping), but I have not been inside the property.  Has anyone bid on a property they haven't see the inside of prior to bidding?  Any suggestions moving forward?
