A home is a place of residence or refuge and comfort. It is usually a place in which an individual or a family can rest and be able to store personal property. Most modern-day households contain sanitary facilities and a means of preparing food. Animals have their own homes as well, either living in the wild or in a domesticated environment. A home has no physical definition, rather it is a mental or emotional state of belonging.

There are certain cultures in which members lack permanent homes, such as with nomadic people.

Can I take out a home loan for land and a manufactured loan?
Q. By home loan I mean a home loan and not a personal property loan like on a trailer home/manufactured home in a trailer court. I qualified for a home loan and I want to keep it cheap, so I want to purchase a piece of land and a manufactured home. Wil this work as a home loan if its on private land? Wow, there is quite the array of scams out there! Why would anyone take out a loan from the internet without talking to someone face to face?
Asked by Jak K - Tue May 8 16:09:07 2007 - - 0 Answers - 3 Comments

A. To have a mortgage loan you must have land involved, so no trailer park rentals. Lender's are not fond of mobile homes because they lose value - unlike a stick-built home which will appreciate in value. You are unlikely to find 100% financing for a mobile home. 90% or less is the norm and that is with good credit. Your interest rate will be higher as well. If you are buying this as an investment (in your own future-not as an investment property) you should look into a modular home. Anything but a mobile. You won't get out what you put into a mobile. That said, there are some very nice mobile homes out there.

Can I get TX Home exemption for my second home?
Q. My husband and I are planning to buy a house that is neared by my workplace. We do not want to put out for sale on our current home until we find a new home which means there are going to be a period time that we will be owning two houses at the same time. We are thinking of taking my name out from the current home and using my name only for the new home, so we can get home exemption for both houses. Would that work?

How can I use my VA home loan Certificate with bad credit and my wife has good credit?
Q. We found a great deal on a great dream home. My wife has been pre-approved for a 150k home. The home we are attempting to buy has been countered at 165k We are prepared to put down 6k. That leaves a 9k gap.I am a veteran and would like to use my VA garantee on the loan if possible to either cover this gap or get 100% financing.

A. As long as one of you has a good score you should have no trouble getting a VA backed mortgage. The only problem is the VA will have to come out and do a home inspection to see if it is worth the price and also to make sure the seller takes care of any defects. This is where negotiating comes into play. The VA is strict when it comes to the condition of the home. You should ask if the house has an assumable VA mortgage already. Hope this helps answer your question. ---> Don't you just love at this spam and junk answers offering loans and pay for click sites.

A home is a place of residence or refuge and comfort. It is usually a place in which an individual or a family can rest and be able to store personal property.

Sourced

  • Home is where the heart is.
    • Ancient saying, reported at least as early as 1847, in Joseph C. Neal, "Singleton Snippe. Who Married for a Living", Graham's Magazine (1847), p. 166: "Home is where the heart is; and Snippe's heart was a traveler—a locomotive heart, perambulating; and it had no tendencies toward circumscription and confine".
  • A man's house is his castle — et domus sua cuique est tutissimum refugium.
    • Edward Coke, The First Part of the Institutes of the Laws of England, or, A Commentary on Littleton (London, 1628, ed. F. Hargrave and C. Butler, 19th ed., London, 1832), Third Institute, p. 162. The exact translation of the Latin portion is: "and where shall a man be safe if it be not in his own house?", quoted from Pandects, lib. ii. tit. iv. De in Jus vocando.
  • Home is home, though it be never so homely.
    • English proverb, reported in John Clarke, Paræmiologia (1639), p. 101.
  • 'Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, Be it ever so humble, there 's no place like home; A charm from the skies seems to hallow us there, Which sought through the world is ne'er met with elsewhere.
    • John Howard Payne, Home, Sweet Home (1822), from the opera of "Clari, the Maid of Milan"
  • Sitting with my gin or whisky afterwards I would often manage to get into conversation with some lonely man or other – usually an exile like myself – and the talk would be about the world, air-routes and shipping-lines, drinking-places thousands of miles away. Then I felt happy, felt I had come home, because home to people like me is not a place but all places, all places except the one we happen to be in at the moment.
