Other mistake: The opening has a Navy officer in an SUV with his partner. The bad guys run them into a river, the passenger survives by letting air out of the right front tire. During the investigation, Mark Harmon finds the tire with a very cleanly-cut valve stem. There is no way a drowning person could cut the stem off that clean with anything.
Continuity mistake: Lund tells Gregorio that he got a text from a friend in DC, who ran the names of Yates and Blakely through a government database and found something. When it cuts to a young man walking, in the interior shot from inside the police cruiser the rearview mirror is missing from the windshield, but in the exterior shots the rearview mirror is properly attached.

Factual error: When Loretta fist sees the body of the sailor she states the tattoo is fresh and cites the "irritation" to the skin around the tattoo. Later, she and Dr Mallard establish the tattoo was administered 3 hours after death, making the signs of irritation to the skin impossible.
Answer: It should also be noted, just because someone owns a small business (in this case a bar) doesn't mean they're rich, or they had to be rich or make enough money from another job in order to afford it. Banks provide small business loans and having steady employment, good credit history, solid business plan, etc would allow someone to get a loan. Most business owners even say they "own" whatever bar, restaurant, store, or business they run even if it's leased or mortgaged.

A proprietor may lease a building but they do own the business that is housed within it.
