You can't have an actual house of your own, but you can set up a permanent home in several locations.
In Goodsprings, you can use Victor's shack. There isn't much in terms of storage there (just an ammo box and a desk, IIRC), but it'll do if you're not super picky. There's also a bed in there. I've stored stuff in there from the beginning of the game, and it's been there many, many, many days afterwards. Not all locations on the map will do that though, so be careful.
Your first, official house, would be the Novac motel apartment you can get. It's got plenty of storage options, so you can organize your loot (there's a fridge, a dresser, a cabinet, a desk, a safe (non lockable), a suitcase and a foot locker. Of course, there's bed as well.
Finally, there's the Suite in the Lucky 38 that you can get later in the game once you get to the Strip. It is somewhat customizable, and it is quite large. At that point in the game, you can actually send your companions back to that Suite, rather than having them go back to their respective homes when dismissed.
There are other locations in the Mojave, such as abandoned shacks, that you could potentially use, but they may not have permanent storage.
