REOs and Homebuyer Priority period

I have seen several bank owned listings in which there is a owner occupied priority period. How is a bank able to enforce this? Does anyone know if it is occupied by an adult child of the owner if that is acceptable?

No, the Buyer must be the owner occupant. And yes, there can be severe penalties for trying to play the system.
