After acquiring REO property, what's next?

[Kevin L.]

I purchased a bank owned property and will settle in a few weeks. Its a condo in a building, therefore, I can not see from its window if anyone still lives in there. Listing agent does not have access information, neither does bank.

I'm wondering what I should do after settlement. I will knock on door first for sure, but If no one opens the door, should I get a drill to get the lock removed and get door opened? LOL, never thought I would do that.

If there is someone living in there, I will follow eviction process.

My question is, after settlement, can I drill the door open since bank does not even have the key to pass to me.
