🔑 Everyone congratulates you at closing, then everyone leaves. This is the list nobody hands you — free.

⏱️ Thirty days, in the order that matters. Start tonight with the one that takes ten minutes: find your main water shutoff and label it.

📦 WHAT’S INSIDE (6 pages)

🚪 The first 48 hours — locks, shutoffs, alarms, the HVAC filter nobody checks

🔦 Week one — the safety sweep, and photographing every serial plate while the house is still empty

🗂️ Weeks two to four — the paperwork that establishes your cost basis, accounts to set up, small fixes that stop becoming big ones

🔢 The three numbers to write down before you forget them

🎁 WHY IT’S FREE

The first thirty days are the part people get wrong, and a checklist isn’t a business model. If it helps, the full First-Year Homeowner System covers the other eleven months.
