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. As an alternative to the definition of "home" as a physical locale, home may be perceived to have no physical definition--instead, home may relate instead to a mental or emotional state of refuge or comfort.

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

How will the home buyer tax credits be applied to me and my fiance?
Q. In February 2010, I will have owned my home for 5 years, making me eligible for the $6,500 tax credit if I purchased another home by April. My fiance has never owned a home, making her eligible for the $8,000 tax credit as a first time home buyer. We're very eager to purchase a home before April. How would the tax credits on a purchase apply to a couple in our situation? Thank you.

A. If you *don't* get married, and buy the house together, you would have to pick a credit and then split it. If you opt for her to get the $8000, she can apply for all of it. (And runs the risk of paying the entire amount back.) If you opt for the $6500 credit, the details aren't out, but presumably you would claim the entire $6500 and she would claim $0.

What all goes into buying a mobile home as far as costs?
Q. My friend and I are considering moving into a mobile home instead of an apartment next year. The initial cost of buying and owning the home will be $5000 and the lot rent will be $268 a month. Beyond paying that initial amount to own the home and our rent+utilities, what other costs might we run into in buying the home? Do mobile homes have mortgage rates if you own the home? I dont know much about this at all and I'm looking for as much help as I can get!
Asked by yeah - Mon Feb 22 20:22:46 2010 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. If you are buying the mobile home outright with cash, then naturally, you won't have a loan payment. If you are needing financing, then a mobile home that is not permanently attached to the land is not considered real property, and as such a mortgage loan would not apply. This would be considered a consumer secured loan, and, as such, the interest rates would be higher.

How can you check a home inspectors creditability?
Q. I'll be looking to buy a house in the near future and I have heard some horror stories about people hiring a home inspector to inspect the house they are wanting to buy, then come to find out that the home wasn't properly inspected. When an inspector is looking over the house, are you allowed to walk around with them? Is there any way of finding out about certificates or anything positive about the home inspector, without having to ask them directly? I know there's a lot of con artists out there in the open and even the cautious person can get burned in the long run. I just don't want to buy a home after it's been "supposdly" inspected, then have everything go wrong afterwards and cost me a fortune. Any help would be appreciated!

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.
