    Paint on the exterior of a home will need to be redone periodically

    Windows will probably need to be cleaned once a year to be clear

    Buy a drain snake and learn to use it. You’ll inevitably need it

    Dust will accumulate faster than you expect, especially if you have/get pets

    Change you furnace/AC filters regularly

    Hose down your outside AC coil annually

    Maybe learn to clean the flame sensors in your furnace. They can get covered in soot type material or oxidation over time and stop your furnace functioning

    If you have a water softener, play with the regen timing. Old owners needs and your may vary, you may need more or less often

    Garage doors have gears, those gears may need to be greased periodically

    If you have bathrooms you don’t use normally, use them once in a while to keep the p-traps full (every 6 months at least)
