The First-Time Homeowner Survival Workbook is the practical, year-round system that replaces guesswork with confidence. Built around the real problems first-time homeowners run into most, it shows you exactly what to do, when to do it, and why it matters.
Inside this home maintenance planner and organizer you’ll find:
A first 30-day, 90-day, and first-year roadmap so you always know the next right step
Monthly, seasonal, and annual maintenance planners with clear checklists
System trackers for HVAC, plumbing, roof, water heater, electrical, smoke/CO detectors, and filters
A home inventory, appliance inventory, and warranty tracker built for insurance claims
A contractor directory, vetting checklist, and three-quote comparison worksheet to avoid overpaying
A budget planner and maintenance fund calculator using the trusted 1%–4% rule
An emergency home guide, utility shut-off page, storm prep, and vacation checklist
A DIY-vs-hire decision guide and an appliance lifespan guide so you can plan ahead
Designed to be used on a tablet or printed and kept in a binder, every planner, tracker, and checklist solves a problem real homeowners said they wish someone had warned them about — no filler, no jargon, no guesswork.
Perfect for first-time homeowners, new buyers, busy professionals, young couples, and families — and it makes a thoughtful housewarming or new-home gift.
Protect your biggest investment. Stop guessing. Start protecting.
