Occupied REO on Hubzu

There is an interesting REO Hubzu that states that there are "no showings: property may be occupied!" It is sold "as is" and also states that "buyer is responsible for obtaining possession of property upon closing."

The "as is" part is not as problematic because the place is only 10 years old, and though I am fully aware that it only takes one upset occupant to fully trash a house in a coupe of hours, the question I have here is about the buyer obtaining possession aspect of the whole deal.  How difficult is that?!

It seems that the bank would have gotten the occupant out of the house when they took possession if it were a straight forward issue, and that the fact that the occupant is still there indicates that there could be trouble brewing down the line in getting them out if I buy this property.

Any thoughts or advice on this situation would be much appreciated!  Thank you in advance!
