Not that this is an official list or anything, but here’s what I did my first week or so (if purchasing a new home) -

1) Schedule free irrigation tutorial
2) Schedule free AC controls tutorial
3) Within first seven days, write down and submit any imperfections/issues with the home and give to the warranty dept.

Items I jumped on quickly thereafter:
1) Gutters
2) Purchase Washer/Dryer
3) NOVA Water filters


What I wished I had done prior to moving in for convenience sake (stuff I managed after I had already moved in):
1) Epoxy of garage
2) Staining of driveway
3) Replacing the rolled vinyl and carpet with luxury vinyl planking (I have a patio villa so this may not apply to you).

In my opinion, everything else can wait.

And most important - get out right away and meet and socialize with your neighbors! ������
