Foreclosure purchase - Unknown occupant whereabouts
I am in the process of purchasing a foreclosure. The bank says it is still occupied, however it appears to be vacant. Once I completed the purchase can I enter the property if I think it is vacant or do I have to go through the formal eviction process? I am leaning toward going in and seeing if there any signs of an occupant, but to also start the official eviction process. Any advice? If it is vacant do I as the new owner have the right to start a rehab or do I have to legally ensure occupant is evicted before I can enter the property? The property is in Texas.
