It\u2019s not like we have 30,000 lawyers in Minnesota, all looking for work. Granted, many of them don\u2019t know as much about real estate as the professional flippers do \u2013 but seriously, you\u2019ve put the Seller in the position of being Buyer\u2019s legal advisor and you think that\u2019ll stop fraud? Only a DFLer could make sense of this stupidity.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe the idea isn&#8217;t to stop fraud. I suspect it&#8217;s much more the plan to just set the flipper up for the ethics claim. Flipper makes a profit (since all flippers make huge profits, none of them ever lose money on these shacks). Government can&#8217;t have flippers make profits, since like landlords and other business owners, we know they are rich and need to be punished. So to take the perceived profits from flippers we now impose on them the affirmative duty to be responsible for the buyer in the contract process. that way the claim is set up for the attorneys to pursue. Flipper had an affirmative duty to make sure the buyer got the best deal possible&#8211;from the flipper.<\/p>\n<p>Hell, why stop there? Let&#8217;s make this the law for car salesmen too.
