Going a bit crazy studying up on homeownership, mortgages, fha stuff, etc. Then i'll move on to basic how-to's for general around the house fixes like when a faucet drips, floor board staining, painting walls, and how to care for a friggin pool.
Make sure you have a professional home inspector. They will know all the stuff to look for and they will have a checklist that they work from. As a general rule, you are paying for the inspection, so if the person doing the inspection seems to be glancing over stuff, ask questions. A thorough inspection takes time.

Home Depot has an orange book that covers some basic home repairs. I'll post a link after I go to a meeting.

I got a recommendation from my dad for a home inspector for our area. He is NYS licensed with 22 years experience. Hopefully that's trustworthy enough. I'll be asking tons of questions for basically anything I see as we go through it. I was told it'll take roughly 2 hours to complete.

I just realized I should learn how to light a pilot light and buy a few fire extinguishers......

While lighting a pilot is still on my "Skills Everyone Should Have" list, I've upgraded my stove/oven and HVAC to electronic ignition. I have to clean the FID on the HVAC every 2-3 years but it's an easy job (about 30 seconds with a metal wool pad and no tools required).

Haven't done the water heater because it doesn't have electricity nearby and I'm too lazy to run the wiring.

This is getting good.

Are subtle upgrades such as lighter tires and exhaust worth the money?

Threw in my two cents. That thread is a mess.
