Eviction of owner after foreclosure auction?

Not sure if this is a state law I'm looking for or what...but I got a 3 family at auction last week here in Mass...the owner lives in 2nd floor unit...The other 2 units are occupied by TAW, so I know how to deal with them...

I was told by another investor that there is a new law that after a foreclosure the owner has 72 hrs to vacate the premise...anyone know if this is correct?...or do I need to proceed with a regular eviction like a tenant...

You want to follow your state law to the "T". If you had an attorney close your case, use that attorney as a resource. Some states require an eviction separate from the foreclosure process, as opposed to constructive notice via the foreclosure. Also, many states have changed laws in the recent legislative sessions, so check with an attorney well versed in the subject matter.
