    You didn't indicate whether you are going to bring the delinquent mortgage current or not. Anyway, to answer your question, you probably want to use a subject to contract, purchase the house (with title insurance I might add because who knows all the liens that may be on the house? If the seller is behind on their mortgage, they are probably behind in their property taxes and their might also be some judgments filed against her that are now a lien against the property.

    Good luck,

    I think what taxjunkie meant was take the property subject to the existing mortgage -- take over their mortgage payments. If you take over their payments, then you do not need to get new financing.

    Question: Who's name is on the deed? Do you have a contract on it?
