Does anyone know when the Rhodens got into the "Car Business" ? I've noticed in earlier photos of the property there wasn't the amount of cars that were there on 4-22-16. I know it took a couple of years for Clarence's property to go through probate and to get everything straight with the family. I think the property might have been all taken care of by 2010. I don't know when Frankie got into the "derby" thing either. I know some of the car clutter were old cars he used for parts.
The reason, I used to fix up cars with my ex (one at a time, we didn't have property for it) and you had to have start-up money to buy a car, money to fix it up and sell it. We made a small profit, but you had to put money away to be able to buy the next car and continue and get a more expensive car each time to increase your profit. We had a partner that provided a garage to do the auto-body work and the ex was a good mechanic.
If CR1 bought a car at a auction for whatever amount he could get it for, then sold in for about $2500.00. In a year he could make about 30,000. Between his side jobs, Frankie's breeding game *advertiser censored*, and dogs. Selling guns and things on facebook. Dana selling cars on facebook, and working at the nursing home. HR, and HHG working and sharing costs together. And all the side-jobs CR1 was doing, I can see them making a living. The question is, where did all the "money" go for the "grow-ops"?
I know if your in an illegal business you would lay-low to not bring attention to yourself. My other ex ( yes I have 2, ) spent a small fortune on knives, guns, bows, equipment for hunting. But it's starting to make sense that people might have thought the Rhodens had a stash of cash. All of this growing, car business seems to have happen in the last 6 years. This would bring attention to people around them, no matter how much they tried to hide it. JMO and my thoughts.
