I go to places like Construction Junction and Habitat for Humanity Restore to buy vintage glass light covers and doors (I much prefer a vintage wooden door over a cheap hollow modern door - and the modern junk is more expensive - I can usually get a used wooden interior door for $10-$20 bucks each and it looks great after it's painted).I also buy used storage cabinet/counter combos and put them in my smaller multi-family properties because those typically lack enough cabinet and counter space. 

@Jacob Beg you might pick differently depending if you rent or sell but hard to say without seeing, with a small section of countertop you could make it really nice with granite for about the price of laminate and for larger stretches laminate is relatively cheap compared to other options and could really upgrade the look if it truly looks badother options I can think of that would be cheaper would be more like bandaid fixes- painting, epoxy, using a thin veneer etc but I wouldn't recommend itYou could also check habitat for humanity type places for counter tops you could use and buy for low cost

I've been a truck driver for 21 years and my wife is head of acquisitions for Habitat for Humanity restores.

Once the legalities are straightened out, a nice way to dispose of their items is to contact your local Habitat for Humanity and ask if they have a ReStore.I'm on the Board of Directors for the Habitat here in Waterville, Maine and our ReStore is a significant contributor to our funds - and that helps us to build more homes.ReStore accepts donations of all sorts of household items from furniture to tools to sets of dishes to cabinets and plumbing fixtures. 

You might be able to get some higher end appliances at Habitat for Humanity/Restore, when people remodel they often donate some pretty nice stuff, even stainless steel.

Here in Indiana.....theres a place that has left over supplies from habitat for humanity homes.....and ppl donate to them as well......find those in your area...

Already checked Habitat for Humanity Restores and have been googling "scratch and dent" but don't know which brands to trust.

If you're not ready to make that career change, go volunteer for Habitat for Humanity every single weekend.

So if you're going to do this, make sure you gather all the information you can....volunteer at a RE office as a weekend assistant, volunteer at Habitat For Humanity as a jobsite gofer, read every book you can get your hands on, even take the courses for RE and GC licenses (even if just for the info).No one is trying to shoot down your dreams, but realize that we've all done this for decades and seen (and experienced) the heartaches.....

Good concept and they have done a good job of working with the land and not disturbing the natural habitats.
