I've met a lot of Canadians wintering/moving to Florida. 

(You're also late with your partnership tax return and are incurring harsh penalties, so file ASAP if not already.)S-corporations, including LLCs taxed as S-corporations - same deadlines as partnershipsSpecial rules for TX, OK, LA: these three states had all their deadlines moved to June 15th due to the winter storms.

When the holidays arrive they will say “We don’t want mass EVICTIONS during the holidays.”

Since he refuses to accept payment, won’t communicate with me, won’t repair the pipes that burst during the winter storm, and is trying to unlawfully evict us because he doesn’t want gay people in his properties and he didn’t like that I talked to a lawyer.

Other companies may have a financing option that is more favorable, where you can finance all or most of it, and immediately start saving money, versus paying the same.Things I would look out for with the opportunity you present: what happens in winter when you are making very little by way of solar?  

There are a fair number of unemployed who have other living options they could use if they understood the consequences and didn't anticipate a rent holiday.

We do offer a token of appreciation around the holidays, but it's just a gesture.

Buying in the winter is always better. 

Our plan with the unit is to hold and and rent to expats long term, then possibly return snowbird it to Lima during the northern hemisphere winter months as we are from NY.Look forward hearing your thoughts and staying connected.

But specific to what you were asking if I had that money starting out here at one time, and to achieve your early FI Goals, I would:1) Purchase a duplex to house hack while you get familiar this summer2) Buy a second duplex going into winter when you have a better feel for target areas.3) Purchase a third duplex or decent SFH depending how much you have left and keeping enough in reserves.Quick way to 6 units and personally prefer duplex’s over 4 family’s ATM.
