Can i buy house? What about extension?
Sure, you can buy the house. My parents owned property in Florida for many years.
yes, i know that. But i have B1/B2 visa with 3 year and with only 6m stay. WHAT IF I WANT to stay next 20-30 year there? It is huge problem to go outside of country every 6m and comming back.
Also i really don't wanna work that means i don't need H1-B visa. I have regular monthly income without work.
Can you explain me how to stay there? Offcourse i will go in that proces with some lowyer but before that i would like to ask you here for opinion? I don't want to over stay my visa.

Then you want an immigrant visa (Green card).
Unless you have an employer or family sponsor, or qualify through exceptional ability or investing $1m+, you are unlikely to get one.

You cannot LIVE in the US on a B2 visa even if you won property.

You can LIVE here, just not exclusively (or primarily) here. There are plenty of foreigners who live in the US several months of the year, but can demonstrate clear ties and a primary residence in their home country.

Staying a couple of months and returning to their primary residence (ie home) is not "living", it is "visiting".
There's two issues - can you buy a house and what does USCIS think of this. Can you buy? Sure, if you can get financing.
What will the US think of you owning a place in the US but visiting as a non-imigrant? I would guess it would be ok provided you still have strong ties back to your real home.
