JOVIYON Wycliffe

So my question is how long will it take for us to get more homes ? And also how will we know if the homes are ready , I do work in RL and am not able to log on to read the forums all the time. can someone tell me how I can get a heads up without being in world, I have been a premium member for many years , I have seen so many newbies were able to get their homes on the first drop. HELPPPPPPP
