no as basic member you can not buy land.

if you decide to go premium and the land is for sale you can buy it, but you also get the monthly tierpayments.

But you can rent land from other residents at privat estates.

 

If your friend putted the land for sale, your stuff will be returned to your inventory by the next owner ór he can leave it there for a while till he has enough of it. If the stuff is groupowned, and on groupland, and transfer you will loose ownership on it when the land is sold with objects on it.

 

if your friend just left and doesn't pay anymore, the land will get claimed by LL again and your stuff returned.

It all depends on where the land is.  Basic members can own land in private estates.  (That's 18,236 of the 25,290 regions in SL -- about 3/4 of the world. )  I have owned a full region for a few years now and I have never been a Premium member.  If you want to own land on the Mainland continent, however, you must be a Premium member. 

So, it all depends on where your friend's club is.  If it's on the mainland, you are out of luck.  If you want to own the property, you will either need to become a Premium member or relocate to a private estate where you can buy new land. Or you can rent land somewhere for your club.  Basic members can rent anywhere in SL.
