For example, I think I’ll need a ladder. I’m looking for any suggestions from tools to security cameras, or whatever else you can think of. What should every new home owner consider getting?

Edit: in Canada btw, somewhere that gets a lot of snow in the winter

    Weatherproofing to whatever degree needed. I check around exterior doors and windows, replace seals and sweeps, and put the cling wrap on windows if needed before it gets really cold.

    Change all locks so prior occupants can’t have access.

    Snow scoop and salt since you mention the Canadian winter.

    Door viewer for the front door. I am currently in a rental with a metal door I can’t drill through and I HATE not being able to see who’s at the door.

    I skipped cameras and just went with door/window alarms. Easy to setup. Less expensive to buy and maintain. Also easy to move and install elsewhere once I find a place that works better. My threat model for home invasion is also quite low.
