A 14-year-old southwest Florida girl purchased her own home and is considering saving up for a second property, NPR reports.
Willow Tufano's real estate career began after her mom started helping investors purchase foreclosed properties and Willow would sell leftover furniture and appliances on Craigslist.
When a $100,000 Port Charlotte home recently went to auction for $12,000, Willow split the cost with her mother and plans to buy her out and take full ownership of the property when she turns 18, NPR reported.
The two are renting out the home for $700 a month.
