So we close on 9/16 on a duplex. I am just wonder what are some things that I should do as soon as we own the place? I know I will be changing the locks on all the doors to make sure no one has kept keys from previous ownership. I will also be replacing all smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Just looking for other general tips. Thanks!

Get a home performance or "energy audit" done. They can measure and verify that everything is within safe operating conditions. A typical home inspection doesn't cover gas line inspection, worst case combustion testing, or identifying energy performance opportunities. See here
