My first attemp would be to knock on the door and explain to the squatters that you are the new owner and offer them $2k to be out before the week is up or you'll evict them and they get nothing. I wouldn't give them one day more! As a matter of fact, I would start the eviction process even before I offered to buy their cooperation. And let them know that you did. Good Luck!
cash for keys! Help them relocate offer anything within reason to get them out. Offer to pay for a couple months storage, pay for movers etc..get them out before ratification then do a motion to sub buyer.
When I was managing some rentals in OR (I was the owner), the eviction process was very quick. Something like 14 days from start to finish. In all my situations the person moved. Granted they were renting and not the prior owners.
Other people have good luck paying someone to move. You pay them a bit to hire the truck (pay directly but do not get your name on the rental contract). You pay the balance when you see the last item moved out of the home (cash at the doorstep).
Maybe they just need a little help. Maybe they want to be a pain in your backside. You have to judge. The idea of filing the papers while seeing if you can work with them is best. The filing costs are likely to be low and you can terminate the process if they should happen to move before the case comes before the court.
BTW - Stick to things that are legal. You do not want to mess up and then find that because you failed to follow the process they now have a right to stay.

If the bank allows contingencies,put one in that the house is to be vacant at closing. Save your money to help with rehab of the property.
Talk to the sheriffs office, in Arizona they send them out to issue eviction notices. I am not sure I would give them money.
It really depends on the local laws.
