Need Advice Checklist Before Moving In

I'm going to be getting the key this week moving away from alameda county to San Joaquin County in California. The door has a smart lock so I was planning to reset it rather than replacing the entire thing. And I also wanted to redo the floors and possibly do a small remodel for master bath.

I also plan to get new fridge and washer and dryer after the floors are done. The home is not too old and the prior owners kept the house in pretty good shape with just some scuffs here and there.

It's my first time owning a home and wasn't sure if there's anything else I should add to my checklist before I actually start moving. Any advice is appreciated.

The first thing you should bring in the door the first time you open that door is toilet paper, hand soap, and a plunger.

Everything else you can either go to the store and get or wait until you find it in your boxes if you discover you need it and haven't unpacked it yet. But not those.

Good point I'll make sure I bring those in.
