I found a unit in Berkeley County that sold for $78k in 3/2020 to Friendly Fox Housing, LLC.

Wait, so we're not talking about Slumlord Rhys, we're talking about Trailer Park Rhys?!

Who's gonna pay Rhys $100 to fuck off?

 

[Spastic Colon]

Does landlord Rhys support no rent / no eviction? And there is nothing I hate worse than a Section 8 landlord. I've got a section 8 house right next door owned by a slumlord (he never does repairs around the house like he should -- one tenant even left because of that). It doesn't surprise me that Rhys is exactly the kind of bastard who chooses to go section 8.

Rental properties in general suck because it causes a revolving door of neighbors and it decreases the sense of community in a neighborhood. All so someone can make a buck. When a person like Rhys buys up a cheap property he is CHEATING a family out of buying affordable housing for themselves. But, he is an expert in CHEATING, isn't he?

Berkeley County is the poorest of the four counties. I found a unit in Berkeley County that sold for $78k in 3/2020 to Friendly Fox Housing, LLC. Friendly Fox Housing is registered to a PO Box at 1643B Savannah HWY Ste 259 Charleston, SC 29407. This address is a UPS store an 11 minute drive from Rhys's current residence on Stallion Ct.

The property address is given as 717 Arno Dr, Ladson SC. Must be the only place on Google maps without streetview. It seems to look like this:

I'd be ashamed to rent out something like that, other than as a holiday home.

ETA: I just noticed the 'two baths'. Read: one bath, one room with a leaky roof.

Well, he profited off of one of his fellow slumlords. The actual people on welfare are going to drain him dry as you said. If the place was a money factory the previous owners wouldn't have been so eager to sell it that they'd come down 30 grand.

i don't think he realizes the us govt sets a certain 'legal rent' (exactly like a pay-scale in the military or other govt occupation) on each unit, you do not get to set your own price.

Section 8 ain't Forbes. You can easily lose money.

Or does he think he is just going to rake in govt subsidies?
Like the mafia's famous empty units in the slums & jobs held by fictional characters that don't exist??

he's been watching too many American mob movies. he thinks he can do these things now.

 

[Kosher Dill]

ACKshually, it's called "playing to win".

How regulated is Section 8 landlording, do you know? Will he have requirements to take all tenants that qualify or can he choose who to rent to? Is the government likely to check in and make sure the housing meets any sort of standards? Stricter rules on evictions than regular rentals?

you have to apply for a voucher. the voucher, your subsidy, decides where you get to go:

What You Need to Know About How Section 8 Really Works

if he has a large pool of applicants, he can pick the 'best' of these & he is in luck.
anyone with voucher qualifies-concept (right or wrong) is that the affirmative action has already been done, the ppl w/vouchers have been 'properly vetted'. of course, plenty of holes in the system to drive a truck thru. baby-mamas (who easily qualify) renting apts for drug dealer boyfriends is most common in the cities. but getting grandma to do the same in rural areas is just as common & maybe even works better.

if rhys has a small pool of applicants (common in a small rural area), he still has to pick one & they could well be the dregs of civilization, but he is still stuck with them. he MUST pick one since he is receiving fed/state subsidies.

if it was his own property he could legally move his own friends in until he got the tenants he wanted, waiting until a nice decent Baptist couple with children & puppy dropped by... but he has no such option when dealing with Uncle Sam.

i'd never move to another country & in just a couple of years arrogantly assume i could easily navigate a densely-complicated legal system i'd never grown up in.

but then, i'm not "paid to think" the way our boy rhys is.

The gov't does not really check up on the state of the house, at least not regularly. My slumlord neighbor's house was neglected for many years. A nice Afghani family lived there, but finally moved when he refused to fix anything in the house. He even tried to make the tenants pay the HOA fees. They asked me about it and I told them to tell the landlord that was his responsibility and not to pay it.

The tenant previous to the one that's in there now was a nice black grandma. I really liked her, but thought it odd that an older woman who lived alone and whose grandkids only stayed with her occasionally (that's what she told the landlord anyway) was given a 3 bedroom house as part of section 8. The grandkids did stay there quite often, though. But there were also about 5 other kids (more grandkids, who knows?) who got dropped off every morning at the bus stop and then picked up every afternoon at the bus stop. They were using her address to get their kids into the "good" schools. The schools are already overcrowded and stuff like this doesn't help.

But, the gov't pays the rent and that's all the section 8 slumlords care about. And since so many of them are low income people who haven't really lived in decent neighborhoods before and since it isn't their house and they aren't really concerned with taking care of it, those houses get pretty beat up. My current neighbors seem nice, but they have absolutely no understanding of how trash cans work. They will literally pile up the trash (not even in trash bags) in the trash can outside until it is overflowing and it gets blown across my lawn nearly every day. It's a small thing, but things like that make it unpleasant to have a section 8 family next door.

My slumlord neighbor gave us his phone number and asked us to call him if there were any problems. I guess he is assuming we'll snitch on them. As if. They can trash the place for all I care. In a few years, we'll be retiring and moving so it won't be my problem anymore. We'll just sell our house to another landlord, probably. That's going to be the only people who want to buy when there's a section 8 next door.

OK, I have a bit more time to finish digging. Rhys's LLC, Friendly Fox Housing, does indeed own four properties. They are all mobile homes (aka trailers) in the same neighborhood in Ladson, SC.

1. 721 ARNO DR
2. 719 Arno Dr.
3. 616 Rainey Dr.
4. 717 Arno Dr.

Grand total of all four properties: $392,400. Rhys's monthly mortgage payment is likely in the $1800 range. Sale date for all four properties was March 13, 2020, so Rhys probably missed out on the killer low mortgage rates of the early pandemic.

All four properties were owned by the same seller: Gerhard Jung. Jung still owns five more mobile homes on Wilhite Dr. in the same little neighborhood. Apparently Jung had some issues with a fraudster back in 2012.

I want to know how this deal came together and how Rhys found out about these properties. I want to know whether Dan Daugherty is also a part of Friendly Fox Housing LLC or Foxy Holdings LLC. And I really want to know whether Rhys is going to manage the properties himself! Finding tenants and dealing with their issues plus maintenance issues is a massive shitload of work. And being a landlord is not exactly a cash bonanza.

For someone who hates the US so much, it's weird that Rhys is putting down roots like this. He really does see a future at CoC and in Charleston, I guess.

Spoiler: Section 8 chit chat

Rhys said Section 8 was his "core market," but in fact none of his properties is on HUD's list of properties that HUD has worked with through Section 8 (Source, HUD map viewer). Rhys's properties will be suitable for people with low income, which is NOT the same as people with Section 8 vouchers. He was likely just talking out of his ass when he said Section 8.

I wonder if Rhys is planning to employ the DIY skills he showed for the remodeling of his home gym in his new single-wides.

However big a deal he wants to claim he got on these properties, it looks like the amount he paid lines up almost exactly with estimates for the properties in total, with him overpaying mildly on two and underpaying on one. He probably thinks he got a great deal by getting the 717 Arno property at a discount by offering to pay above-market rates for 721 and 719. What a haggler.

I don't know about CofC, but I assume he at least sees a future with whatever sugar daddy is bankrolling this.

There are three corporations involved in this deal: Friendly Fox Housing, Friendly Fox Remodeling, and Foxy Holdings, LLC. Foxy Holdings is not registered in South Carolina.

There are a couple of other "Foxy Holdings, LLC" registered in other states that do not appear to be connected to Rhys. But a Foxy Holdings, LLC, was registered in Maryland in March 2020. The resident agent, Douglas Walker, is an attorney from Baltimore...where Dan Daugherty is from. [EDIT: I'm wrong about this, see @OttoWest post below. Rhys's Foxy Holdings is in New Mexico.]


OK, so Foxy Holdings is Rhys's shell corp. But why does he need TWO MORE LLCs in Friendly Fox Housing and Friendly Fox Remodeling? Is there a legitimate reason for this? All I can think of is money laundering by using one corporation to pay the other. Or maybe the setup is that Daugherty (Foxy Holdings) is gonna pay Rhys (Friendly Fox Housing & Remodeling) to manage the properties?

EDIT: I found Foxy Holdings, LLC. It's registered in New Mexico.

I imagine he's doing it so that he can limit his liability when he fucks up a remodeling job in a way that hurts one of his tenants. "Oh that wasn't a job done by Rachel McKinnon, landlord, Friendly Fox Housing. It's a job done by Veronica Ivy, Friendly Fox Remodeling. They actually closed down and went bankrupt 20 minutes ago, so good luck getting that judgment."

 

[Old Fart]

I, for one, laud Rhys Ivy Rachel Veronica McKinnon for coming out of hiding and immediately garnishing the Farms with another sample of his delightfully erratic behaviour.

OK, so Foxy Holdings is Daugherty and Rhys's shell corp. This explains why Rhys has sounded so weirdly ignorant about the real estate deal: he didn't really do the deal, Daugherty did. But why do they need TWO MORE LLCs in Friendly Fox Housing and Friendly Fox Remodeling? Is there a legitimate reason for this? All I can think of is money laundering by using one corporation to pay the other. Or maybe the setup is that Daugherty (Foxy Holdings) is gonna pay Rhys (Friendly Fox Housing & Remodeling) to manage the properties?

The Foxy Holdings LLC in Maryland is connected to seaside restaurant Foxy’s Harbor Grille— same address and the bar has changed names several times which explains the recent LLC filing. I can’t find any connection to Dan.

ETA The three active Foxy Holdings LLC listed on Opencorporates.com are in Albany, NY, St Michael’s, MD, and Delaware. Albany’s was established in 2018, Maryland’s in 2020, and Delaware in 2012 (A)



In the past Rhys used Robins Kaplan in NYC when setting up his charities, but I can see why he’d want Dan to do all the work so very little is publicly in Rhys’s name. Still RK sponsored Rhys’s Foxy Moxy team so it’s a name to keep in mind for anyone searching.

Service – Unsatisfactory You did a great deal of service to the wider community in 2019, through your public philosophy essays and your media interviews. In many ways, the media attention you have received is as a cyclist and not as a professor, but you are in a position to use your platform as a transgender woman cyclist to draw attention to your scholarly work. But you also received media attention in 2019 for remarks that forced President Hsu to remind the public that the College “expects its faculty members to make every effort to exercise appropriate restraint and show respect for the opinions of others when engaging them on challenging issues.” Failing to meet this standard will undermine the service contributions of your public philosophy work. Your service to the College was more modest, consisting of work reviewing student funding proposals for the Women’s and Gender Studies Program and on the undergraduate research committee. Kris de Welde reported that you reviewed your assigned WGST proposals. However, Beth Meyer-Bernstein reported that you did not fulfill close to all of your assigned responsibilities on the URCA committee. When completed, this kind of work is adequate to contribute something to campus-wide service, but will fall short of the leadership contribution that is part of the standard for promotion to Professor in service. You did complete the small service projects assigned to you during your alternative duties in the spring of 2019. Beyond that, though, your service to the department this year was non-existent. You did not volunteer to assist with anything, and you failed to do even the minimal things that your service expectations letter reminded you that every department member is expected to do (and not receive any special credit for). You did not attend a single department meeting or event, either in person or by Skype, and so absented yourself from every departmental deliberation and activity. Though you have disability accommodations from the EEO office, those accommodations say, “It is essential that all faculty attend department meetings and participate in the governance of the program.” At this point, you are simply not meeting your basic obligations as a citizen of the department.
