If you choose to have a premium account, yes you can build your own home.  You can purchase a basic 512m sized parcel of land (or bigger, if you are willing to pay extra for tier fees) and build or rezz anything you like up to 117 prims in total.

If you choose to take on a Linden Home, you can add furnishings and decorate it, but you cannot modify the home you will be allocated.

Yes you can unless you opt for the free Linden Home.  You will need to buy a mainland parcel other than a Linden Home...a parcel on any mainland bought from either LL or a private resident.  If you buy a parcel that is 512 sq meters or less you will not be charged a monthly fee (tier) for the land.  You will, however, have only 117 prims total available for your house and any furnishings you might want to put in the house (plants and landscaping stuff counts against that 117 prim limit too).  That's the main advantage of a Linden Home over another parcel of mainland.......the Linden Home house does not count against the prim limit so you have all 117 prims for furnishings.  But LL puts some restrictions on what you can do with a Linden Home such as you cannot place any prim outside the house, you cannot put a sky box above the house (actually, you cannot put any prims outside the walls, floor or roof of the Linden Home).

In addition to the other great answers,


You don't even need a Premium account.  You can "buy" (lease, really) land on a private estate, and build a home there.  In that case, you pay your monthly (or sometimes weekly) tier fee to the estate owner, not to LL.

As they have said, YES.

BUT... you do not have to. You can rent land form any land owner and build your own home. You will need a Premium account to rent directly from Linden Lab.

I will warn you that renting from private owners has some risks. So, you should check out the land owner. There are some land barrons in SL and they make their living renting and selling land. They are oriented toward long term customer satisfaction and are generally a safe choice.

There are beginners that try to break into the market. Some do well, some fail. Those that fail can be a problem. Some have been know to coolect rent and not pay teir thus allowing the region to return to the Lindens and everyone on it gets dumped off. So, care in choosing a landlord is needed.

Good luck.
