I am trying to help my neighbor gain dual citizenship. He owns a few houses in Europe and one in Florida. He splits his time between Florida and the Czech Republic and would like to have citizenship in both. Is this possible? Thank you in advance.

Ownership of property in the United States does not create a path to citizenship. Your neighbor must first become a lawful permanent residence. Lawful permanent residence is typically acquired through a petition filed by a family member or employer. Assuming your neighbor has a path to residence, he would need to spend most of his time in the United States until he became a citizen (which in most circumstances is after one has been a resident of the United States for five years).
