renovation Material grade selection

[Joel Burt]

Hi All,

  So I've finally purchased my first investment property and am starting the reno process. My plan is to live in the property for a year and then move out and keep it as a rental. The property is a single family home. One of the necessary reno projects is updating the kitchen. How much should I spend? Specifically, should I splurge on higher quality all wood cabinets, or buy plywood box cabinets with MDF doors to save money? Where is the line between junk that wont survive the first tenant, and material  too nice for a rental?

Thanks!
