Wow, I'd say much is portrayed with a high degree of over simplification.Consider when someone sells a business, say a toy store, that new buyer may be in a master lease arrangement, keeping the old owner responsible on the lease.MLOs can be seen as a financing arrangemet, tons of risks to consider in resdential, commercial, many laws like the SAFE Act don't apply, doesn't mean you have license to do whatever you can dream up.A seller can always hold the middle man responsible, it may not just be, "oh well, it didn't work out, sorry" and walk away.
