Rent Cube Script
If you need one, here’s a script that you can attach to whatever object you create in the 3D modeling tool that represents your rent cube. As a rule, you might want to make a cube, and then texture it with images that say “Rent This Space”.
Create a new note card with the exact text on the following page in it. Name the note card “Settings.”
#Rent This Space
#Options Notecard
#All lines beginning with "#" are comments, and are ignored
#DO NOT CHANGE the order of the options!!!
#Spot Name
This Place for Rent!
#Rental Cost
#The weekly rate to rent this space
100
#Prim Count
#The number of prims allowed by the renter in this space
20
#Rental Size
#The volume of the rental space, in square meters
600
#Refund Fee
#The fee charged to obtain a refund on the currently paid rent
50
#Rental Offset
#The relative position of the prim when rented, when compared
#to the non-rented position
#e.g. 6.75m above the rented spot: <0,0,6.75>
#e.g. 15m above and 5m to the West: <5,0,15>
<0,0,0>
#Info Notecard Name
#The name of the notecard to give to someone
#who clicks the cube. Note: case-sensitive

Then, in the editing window, click the “Contents” tab. Drag your “Settings” note card into the “Contents” tab. Then click “New Script” and copy and paste the text below into the script editor. Save your script, and it should compile successfully with no errors. Easy as that, you’re ready to start collecting Linden dollars!
Instructions for Rent Cube
To modify the rental price and other settings, open and edit the "Settings" note card.To accept any changes you have made to the Settings, reset the script using the Admin options. Just click the Rent-This-Space cube and choose "RESET". You may have to “touch” it once the first time.
To "gift" additional time to someone's cube, simply pay the cube more $L (it will pay you as the owner).
Sell It
Since First Land is so cheap to start off, it also makes sense to flip it right after you sell it. An attractive First Land lot can be auctioned or sold for at least triple its initial purchase price of $1L per sq. m I recently sold my canyon-side first land for $3000, nearly 6 times the initial purchase price. Not bad.
All you have to do is right-click your plot and select “About Land.” Then edit the name, description and price of your land. Click the options tab and post a snapshot of your property. Find an attractive angle of your land, encompassing the whole lot. Make sure your avatar is not in frame. Then click the “Snapshot” button on the bottom menu. Save it as a texture and then go to the “Options” tab in “About Land.” Use the snapshot you just took as your picture. Most people will not even consider your land if there isn’t a snapshot, and most people selling land without one do so for a reason. Their land is unattractive.
Go into the “Land Sales” tab and find your land by searching for the title you set (you can sort by your selling price to find it easier.) Make sure everything appears correctly and you’re good to go. Read on for tips on how to make your land attractive and the different market forces that incite people to buy land
