I’m in the process of buying/renting some land. I’ve *rented* three different places, ok I’ve not actually paid for ANY of them. The first was my partners condo she received for working at a club... wasn’t *my* home.
The second was more so my home, same deal – different place and I lived alone, I received that rent free as I worked for my employer. I felt like a big mooch, all I did was bounce the club --- nothing beneficiary for them.
The third and current place is like a dream home, on the beach in a beautiful area – of course my partner pays for it all…. :(
All three places I’ve not had a problem with the landlord, from what I gather I’m lucky (OK, we umm she was). Only one incident with some particles that refused to leave has been my biggest issue. --Yeah thats me the particle bandit.
So now its time to make an investment and see where it goes, I have some friends that are opening up a store (landmark to be placed here soon). They want me to sell some of my items I’ve made. I have no clue what to price them as and scared to death people will hate what I’ve made or think it’s cheap.
With that revenue it can go to some of the tier payments… boy aren’t I a big hopeful thinker?
Now the search is on!
First, you need to decided if you want to really *buy* land or rent/lease. On Main Land you can purchase land from Linden Labs or a resident.
You have to be a premium member to buy land but to rent/lease just make the payments to the *landlord* or Estate owners.
You can search for Land with the Search tools in SL, just toggle between the types of land you want and enter. There will be a listing just as if you were searching for that favorite club or store. Click the Teleport link and check the property out.

What I've learned so far:
Hit Ctrl+Alt+Shift+P on your keyboard to see parcel boundary lines, this brings up a faint red line around the border. Make sure you know what you're purchasing!
Take note of the About Land listings, the land's area is in square meters.
Read the Primitives Parcel Supports entry in the About Land window's Objects tab. This indicates how many primitives you can place on this land. In other words if you have a 300 prim house you can't place this on a 117 prim parcel.
If you *buy* land from an Estate, it CAN be reclaimed when ever the estate owner pleases. Be it that they failed to pay Linden Labs their tier or they sell the land to someone else, who now decides to remove everyone. I guess thats really considered *leasing* the land not purchasing it.
