It loses half it's value once you drive it off the lot.

So keep it at the trailer park where you bought it.

When you have an affair with your SO, don’t bone the other girl in the same house you live in

Congrats!

Don’t sink a bunch of money into it adding and upgrading stuff. You’ll probably move again in 5-10 years

Change your HVAC filters every 3 months with a mid line filter like the 3 pack Home Depot style filters. Don’t defer maintenance. Live there awhile before you start making changes that can’t be easily undone.

First night in the house put a couch on the front porch , open the windows, make a bonfire out of all the moving boxes and play Free Bird as loud as possible. Gotta make an entrance.

Bring money for the wide array of shite that breaks, falls apart, or explodes.

never bring your side piece home, you dont want them to know where you live.

also home inspections mean nothing at all and no matter what they say you may have major expenses to fix unseen bad wiring or termite damage and possible roof issues so keep a chunk of change on hand to cover that stuff

Do a full clean up of the house...Baseboards, corners, mopping, clean cabinets, windows, touch up painting. If you are going to clean A/C system duct work do it now. Clean, wipe down all furniture before bringing it in the house.

If your female neighbor sunbathes nude, don't tell your wife/SO.
