1. Whether you own property or not you can not over stay your tourist entry. Unless you have a visa, such as work or student, you will not be allowed to extend your visits.
2. Per the US Embassy website: I have a holiday home in the United States; how long can I remain there? If you travel to the United States visa free under the Visa Waiver Program, you may remain for up to 90 days. This period cannot be extended. If you travel to the United States on a visitor (B-2) visa, the period of time you will be allowed will be determined by the USCIS at the port of entry. Initially they can grant a stay of six months which can be extended for a further six months at their discretion. The USCIS has sole jurisdiction over such matters. http://www.usembassy.org.uk/cons_new/faqs/faq_visa_niv.html#niv073
3. It's 90 days at a time under the Visa Waiver program (so long as you have a UK passport and no criminal record). If you want to stay longer you need a visa. For the best deals on flights chack out http://floridaflights.net
