I was browsing around to actually OWN land, and unfortunately, the parameters I used are bringing in ungodly amounts of greedy covenant dealers, who are asking about 6 times more, on average, than to own my own land outright... (200 a month just for 40,000 is not a deal to me).

Is there any parameters to use that would eliminate 'leases' and 'covenants', to where I can search for land wholly for sale?

If there isn't, is there any plan to implenment a 'without covenant' search parameter?

I've been looking for an hour and STILL haven't tped to land for actual sale, as opposed to covenant. And since, unless the owner decides to put in covenant/for lease in the description, I haven't seen any other way to combat this.

Seola, great suggestion -- we have a project open to improve Land Sale searches, and you may want to look at this Feature Voting Tool proposal too:

https://secondlife.com/vote/vote.php?get_id=1852

Basic guideline: if it's on the Linden mainland, then there's no "lease" or "covenant". If it's on a private island, then there may be -- at the discretion of the island owner.

You can confirm this by looking at the World Map. The Linden mainland includes the two big bulks stretching from top-to-bottom in the center, and the "Korean" continent further to the south. On the World Map legend, check "Land For Sale" to see.

Hope you'll be able to find land right for you!
