Each April make sure you put a cup of Clorox Bleach down the Air Cond drain Pipe if you have one that is accessible. Just think tax time.

Make digital photos of your stuff in your house once you get settled and save them somewhere safe.

Moisture damages. Make sure to take care of any leaks pronto.

Dont ignore small problems. Repair them ASAP so they dont become big problems.

Figure out what maintenance needs to be done and how often - air filters, batteries in smoke detectors, oil change in lawn mower, clean gutters, weed/feed for lawn - things you do a couple times a year or less and mark them on your calender when they need to be done (or when you do them) - use that to mark next years calander for a reminder.

Digital photos of contents plus excel file of serial numbers for big ticket items. Save to a thumb drive and store in a fire proof safe. If you can, make a second copy and store it at your parents house or somewhere off site.

With landscaping, many times its easier to rip it out and start over than to try and tame something thats been let go to pot.
