You can purchase it that way, and the purchase would be from the owner (who would have to be willing). The default can be cured before the sale, but you'll want to get the correct payoff amount (or negotiate a new one) with the lender and cure the default before the sale. I'd recommend using an experienced real estate attorney to advise you, as you'll want to protect yourself/your money.
