Need help with kitchen cabinets

[M Edouard]

Hi BP,

I recently purchased my first property, a 4 unit in Queens NY. I am renovating one of the units and I need guidance on renovating the kitchen. What kind of kitchen cabinets should I get? Which color? How much should I spend on them? Should I do RTA and hire someone to put them together? Where can I shop for discounts?

Not enough to worry about. Easy to wipe down anyway if they do. And if your tenants are huge slobs, you need to get rid of them anyway...

Besides, better to see the dirt rather than have it disguised by a darker cabinet, right?
