National Public Radio—Meet Willow Tufano, age 14: Lady Gaga fan, animal lover, landlord.
One day, Willow’s mom, Shannon, saw a two-bedroom, concrete-block home on auction for $12,000—down from $100,000 at the peak of the bubble. Shannon was telling her husband about the house, when Willow piped up.
“I was like, ‘What if I bought a house? That would be crazy,’ ” Willow says.
Willow wound up splitting the house with her mom. Willow plans to buy her mom out in the next few years, and put her name on the title when she turns 18.
