Things to do to cut down on major repairs

[Samantha Klein]

Hey I was just wondering what everybody does when first buying a property or when they are doing a rehab, what are some things you replace or do to cut some on repairs or maintenance? For example, I always replace rubber washer hoses with stainless. I also put water alarms under the kitchen sink, bathroom vanity, and by the water heater. I'm looking for ideas to eliminate simple repair tasks with preventative maintenance.
