@Matthew Paul True. I have it to lose...lesson learned. I didn't bet the house money however, I could have bought a nice pair of snakeskin shoes. I'm over it now. 🤷🏼‍♀️ but I will put a lien on the house, along with the other 8 that are pending. My real job is being a cardiac specialist. I'll spend more money actually going to court.

@Matthew Paul We are licensed and insured, Sir. Was only helping a friend.....these are the reasons persons are able to take advantage of others. Theres always someone trying to find a loophole to get something for nothing. Some parents should do a better job at raising these humans.

@Steve Vaughan I only got a text from her clearly giving me permission to collect rent, make repairs and such. I emailed her the written one that she never signed and returned.

@Bill Brandt The house was on the market for a year. She texted me the lock box code to get in and we sent her before and after pics from August 7th through the 19th when she emailed us to leave her house. I'm so frustrated at her dishonesty.

@Doug Pintarch I have learned. Thanks. I need to practice saying, "I can't".

Yes, I have several texts and emails stating to please help her. She gave me the key and access to the house from August 7th until yesterday when she sent a cease and desist email to me. Thank you guys for your response.

So a college friend asked me to do her a favor. She has a house that she's upside down on here in Virginia. It needed a lot of work done. I fronted the +3k in supplies and labor and got it back up to an inhabitable status. She gave me verbal permission via text. Now she saying that she didn't give permission and she doesn't have that kind of money. But her house is now all fixed up. And I'm out of time and money.
