Investopedia explains 'Personal Use Property'

There are many examples of personal use property, including vehicles, home furniture, a personal library, clothing, and so forth.

The definition is important in some tax jurisdictions in terms of whether or not a loss on the disposition of the asset is deductible. For example, often real-estate is treated differently in terms of taxation despite the fact that you use your home for personal use.
