foreclosed property

I am thinking of investing in a property that has been foreclosed on and was
worried about what the ramifications would be if I did purchase this
property. Specifically, I was worried if the prior owner had some
outstanding debt with the city, Water bill, gas bill or sewer charges, would
I be responsible for his bills? Also, what if he is still living in the
house after I buy it, what can I do if he refuses to move out? What should I
particularly be careful about when buying a foreclosed property?

Ask the bank or lender for a clean title.
