We did rent for two months and then bought a home. We had no intentions of buying when we rented but we started looking at open houses and fell for one home and were able to buy it. We stay about 4-5 months in Florida and the rest of the time in Massachusetts but we are currently debating on moving to Florida full time. It all depends on this virus at this point. Massachusetts currently seems safer right now then Florida
