The Difference Between Personal Property and Real Property

An important first distinction when searching recorded public records is to know the difference between personal property and real property because they can be recorded in different locations than personal property records. Personal property includes items such as bank accounts, vehicles, jewelry, computers, etc. This property can be collateral or ‘consumer goods (often with a UCC filing). Real property involves real estate related assets such as homes, apartment building, land, etc. A mortgage is an example of a recorded document that secures the associated loan to finance real property.
