Here are some tips for creating and safekeeping your home inventory.

Make a thorough checklist

Your home inventory checklist should contain important information about your personal belongings, according to Forbes. This includes:

The item’s value
The date you bought it
Any receipts you have
The serial number and/or make and model (for electronics and appliances)

Home inventory apps can make the whole process far easier, says Forbes. They offer an easy way to list your items and securely store information. If anything’s ever damaged, you’ll be able to retrieve that information quickly.
