WGNO

At 19, she bought her first house. Now she owns a neighborhood. Her secret?

NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — She’s been buying and flipping homes for a while now.

Her name is Twala Lockett-Jones.

She was just a teenager when she bought her first house. Nineteen, in fact.

And now, she’s got a neighborhood full. So far, forty homes belong to her.

WGNO Good Morning New Orleans features reporter Bill Wood says her secret is in her book.

It’s called “Princess Mackie Buys a House.”

And it’s the story of how a little girl comes to own not just a home, but a castle.

You can, too.
