I downloaded the Hearthfire DLC today, went to look up how to get land, and it said I have to wait for a courier. I've been sitting for 2 irl hours, and waited days in skyrim time, even "waited" in game, nothing is working. Any ideas?

Where are you waiting at? The courier approached me while I was walking around Falkreath.

Also not sure if this is a factor or not, but you might have to be the Jarl's Thane before land is offered to you.
Does this smell like chloroform to you?

I've tried in Whiterun and Falkreath. I thought I was a Thane for the Whiterun Jarl, I may be mistaken though.

Yes almost every Jarl has some sort of quest to become their Thane.

UESP - Thane Quest list.

If you are already a thane you just speak to the jarl about buying land and if not then you will have to go through quests to become thane this may help - http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls_V:_Hear...

"NOTE: A courier won't appear if players are Thane in the area."
Does that mean I just talk to the Jarl, instead of getting a courier?

Yeah man just speak to them and it should be an option to buy land or a house.

I had 1 letter from a courier about adopting a child. nothing on buying land and I wasn't thate in one of the 3 holds. Maybe if your thane in any 1 of the holds you don't get a letter at all
