    yes, mom, we be good boys. About the privacy orb.. my friend hasn't the money to incur regular payments for either property or the premium membership. So my solution is to informally protect her ownership of property I've made available to her. It's my intention to provide her with every nuance of personal privacy and control over what I've determined should belong to her within my ability to do so, though informal as it is. I can give her all control over my privacy orb, but that cannot include managing my access due to the fact that it is my orb and my designated property. I cannot be removed from the access list. This is important in making sure she knows that yes, it is her property despite SL's nonrecognition of the fact. Is there any way she can gain ownership over her own privacy orb so that it recognizes her as the owner of the property, or at least have the ability to remove me, the recognized owner, from her access list if only by practical theory, assuring her total control? Added thought: If I rent to her @ L$1/mon, would that grant her the ability to have her own privacy orb? Now for your input concerning group ownership over properties. chronologically: 1) Create a group (done) 2) Everyone donates their 1024 sqm to the group (Are you talking about the premium membership 1024 tier bonus as units of tradable tender and not actual land?) 3) Buy the plot of land (Each group member donates their portion of L$ and then buy the land? So there must be two donations, first that of tier, then of money, at which point the property is then purchased.) 4) Make group tag active (how is this accomplished?) 5) Use the option "buy for group" (First buy the land with donated L$, then set "buy for group"? Is this some kind of transfer? Or, is this out of chronological order?)

    This post originally was about how to buy land without a premium membership, but it was posted only after I did research for the answers, but had not found the answers I needed I made the post. It has drawn several important participants and the topic morphed causing a spontaneous broadening of the op. So yes, I had researched without finding the answers I was looking for. I'm thankful for having access to this Q&A community and enjoy it very much. Please join in.

    Stop right there if you would please. You don't know either my likes or dislikes, so allow me to request that you might refrain from commenting further in this post as well as any future posts I should have. This request isn't meant for any purpose other than to hopefully reduce distraction. Thank you

    You bring up an interesting aspect to all this by pointing to possible group involvement. I'm part of a group with 3 other residents where we want to purchase a shared parcel supporting a base for our WarBug dogfighting activities. Would you know if it would be possible to divide a 4096 sqm parcel so each of us could stay within our premium membership limit of 1024 sqm bonus to avoid tier?

    You could make that suggestion if you want but understand, in a very real sense that's exactly what I'm doing, by tapping the practical and experienced mental knowledge base of all these considerate and thoughtful residents, wishing to share their expertise with us all. Does this answer your question? Not to be blunt, or rude, but isn't it a bit time you start participating by adding something useful to these discussions instead of acting like the knowledge base police you're not?

    I have a close friend who I let stay on a property of mine and created a group so she could join to be able to "Set Home" there. Of course, I can check for permissions allowing her to rez and fly and the other permissions found in About-Land and in the group options as well, but how can I allow her to install her own security orb with access to about land settings?
  7. ChoiceRider
    Here again, I'm confused. What are the land management abilities and permissions of renters(e.g. Do renters have About-Land Object and Options tab management control, unchecking "allow outsiders to view or IM avatars on the property", install and manage their own security orb)? And if the landlord has the option to authorize any or all of these land management controls, what must they do to grant such abilities and permissions? What steps must be taken?

    Thank you so much for doing the legwork for me. This article you found certainly boils it down to the bare necessities.
  9. ChoiceRider
    I'm so grateful for all your inputs and exhaustive instructions. This has been a very rewarding learning experience. As you all could tell from the start, I was desperately confused by these issues. But lo and behold, I was rescued from the glaring ignorance I found myself in. As for my friends who would like to purchase lands without a Premium Membership, I think it's been made clear, that the 30 pence per week investment, lol, represents a far better road to travel, being that it's been made so inexpensive with excellent benefits.

    You draw a much finer point in your descriptions, many thanks..
  11. ChoiceRider
    Yes.. but I found it credited in "L$ Transaction History" every Tuesday with the full L$300 amount. look for "Source: Stipend Linden Stipend Base". This cuts down the Premium Membership to L$75 or 30 pennies per week!

    I believe I should arrive at a happy medium. Size Prims "rent" 512 175 $4 (1024 gift = $0 "rent") 1,024 351 $7 (1024 gift = $0 "rent") 2,048 703 $13 (1024 gift = $7 "rent") 4,096 1,406 $22 (1024 gift = $17? "rent") 8,192 2,812 $35 (1024 gift = $28? "rent") Putting in perspective concidering a 1024 credit: 512 @ $0 = L$0/mon "rent" (175 prims) 1,024 @ $0 = L$0/mon "rent" (350 prims) 2,048 @ $7 = L$3250/mon "rent" (703 prims) 4,096 @ $17? = L$4250 /mon "rent" (1406 prims) 8,192 @ $28? = L$7000 /mon "rent" (2812 prims) The initial cost of these propertis shouldn't weigh in these equations. The three factors that do matter are size/rent/prims size rent prims 512 0 175 1024 0 350 2048 3250 703 4096 4250 1406 8192 7000 2812 Popular Rentals: 240 40 796 170 4096 1120 250 16,384 1920 400

    This is the best yet.. see if I got this right I now "rent" three properties. linden home 512 @ $4, 1024 @ $7 and 8192 @ $35 Thant's 9728 @ $46 Because I'm an Entitlement Club Member, I'm gifted 1024 "rent" free That adjusts to 9728 - 1024 = 9704 @ "rent" unknown To reach my goal of no "rent", I must sell/abandon the 512 and 8192, bringing it down to 1024 @ $7 - 1024 "rent" free gift = $0 "rent" The $6 or L$1500 paid monthly for the Entitlement Club Membership is dispersed payment among several gifts/benefits. But isn't one of those gifts a L$300 weekly stipend? If that's so(I've never seen it) then my L$1500/mon "rent" is brought down to [1500 - (4 * 300)] = L$300 for monthly "rent" + membership fee lol, is this correct? If so, then why haven't I seen my weekly stipend?

    What rules? So, how did she bend/break the rules, if these rules you elude to make it impossible? I'm not aware of any rule prohibiting residents from buying private lands.
  15. ChoiceRider
    Care to explain why? I know one 18-year-old newbie girl who did it, though, with complications that finally reach a resolution, but understand, she speaks 4 languages and finished top of her classes. We can't all be that intelligent.
  16. ChoiceRider
    You just insert an ad in my post. If this is a practice then that would be spam. You say "Tier is not a mortgage", that's in reference to my saying "much like mortgage payments". I did not say it was a mortgage payment, though it's much worse. Then you say "It has nothing to do with the amount someone pays ". Did you read into something totally different than what I had said to make such a statement? I pointed to the different tiers for the different sizes of lots. not cost.
  17. ChoiceRider
    "to get a 1024, you have to give up the house" I have a 1024, but I've yet to give up the Linden Home? ""buying" private estates plots costs 1 weeks rental, and includes... 1 Weeks rental." What is the usage of this word "rental"? I never rent. How would I be charged rent?
  18. ChoiceRider
    Renting is a bottomless pit, and should be avoided if at all possible. Land use fees(tier), is much like mortgage payments but far worse. By the chart, I'd think I've been paying US$35.00/mon for an 8192 I bought for L$8000. Converting $35.00 into Lindens, I have a monthly fee of L$8750 at today's conversion rate. Do you see the dichotomy? I am paying L$750 more than my original cost every month. This is what we call highway robbery. What I was hoping for, in my immutable simplicity, is to purchase the largest properties that would not incur tier, small as they may be.

    To your original questions: without Premium membership, land can only be rented from private owners, not from Linden Lab. (Confusingly, renting from an Estate often uses the same process as buying Mainland, so that may be part of what your friends are asking.) The quote from the chart is as confusing as can be; "granted a 1,024 sqm bonus lease before land use fees are applied" What kind of bonus is this? (I would assume it has a monetary value of some amount), and how does granting it before land use fees make a difference? You're wanting to comment on my original questions, but then you speak only on renting, which has nothing to do with my original questions. My questions are dealing with buying, purchasing and land for sale, and nothing is said about renting.
  20. ChoiceRider
    I've always referred to this chart for monthly payments: https://secondlife.com/land/pricing.php Sorry for my ignorance, but are "tier" and "land use fee " the same? Also, this chart indicates that 512 has a land use fee of $4.00 and 1024 $7.00 What am I overlooking when comparing this chart to your explanation of 512 and 1024 bing tier free?
  21. ChoiceRider
    Thank you for your experienced input. Would you please explain further what is meant by "tier free 1024". I have a 1024 but pay monthly tier.

    I've had a premium membership for some time, but friends of mine who do not often ask how they can buy land while not having a premium membership. This is a three-part question: 1) How is purchasing land accomplished without a premium membership? 2) How to search for lands available for sale to residents without a premium membership. 3) Are there any shortcomings by purchasing lands without a premium membership? Thank you for any consideration concerning this topic.
  23. ChoiceRider
    It's all a success, thank you both.. For other parcels I wish to do this with, do I have to create a dedicated group for each, or as Mr Parhelion Palou indicated, are there ways to include other parcels within the same group? It wouldn't seem so..
  24. ChoiceRider
    I'm a bit slow at times, and this is one of those times. I listened to you LittleMe, and looked into about-land, where under the General tab I found the Group Set button that allowed me to set my new group for the land. And with that, my alt was able to set home on my parcel. Thanks sooo much for your time, you seem always to be there when help is needed, God bless you.
  25. ChoiceRider
    tricky tricky.. I love it LittleMe, I have an alt, and that's a marvelous use of it. Thank you, you are a Godsend.
