By not asking for POF they run the risk of spinning their wheels for nothing. 

Or other LVF plank recommendations for a durable C class rental with not perfect even floor?

My father bought a 1964 Barracuda that we intended on restoring, but instead I had a S-10 that I put a bunch of money into (air ride, wheels, etc.)

When purchasing property with a lease option and the intention of creating a sandwich lease option, or purchasing "Subject To" and agreeing to make the owners mortgage payments in both scenarios, would limited durable power of attorney get around the "Due on sale" clause and make a future closing easier?

But once again, with the clock ticking, I'd need to set the wheels in motion soon.I would appreciate any advice.Thanks,Matt

And I agree with most, better to have that quick conversation with a lender to make sure you are pursuing the right types of deals or price points etc before you get out there and spin your wheels making offers etc.

Work at saving money rather than spinning your wheels trying to do th enearly imposible.

That quote seems reasonable but for a little more you could upgrade to more durable flooring that's water resistant and easy to repair. 

For rentals I go with less expensive and durable (cheapest does not necessarily mean you should use it).

Don't reinvent the wheel, there is plenty you can do from just seeing how others do it!
