A large non-profit (Habitat for Humanity) has also acquired several blocks in the area where they are completely gutting & rehabbing homes for some type of 1st time buyers program.

If you are community minded you could offer your services pro-bono to Habitat or some other charity (here we have Catholic Outreach) that does low income developing. 

We have done it before and it worked great, I think it does help open up and make it usable, our guy did a great job filling in stump holes and and sold the rootballs to the state for salmon habitat. 

I have only seen the Habitat homes that have tile in the kitchen that is done first and then the cabinets are put in.

I have seen people learn from YouTube and also habitat for humanity, but am wondering what else is out there!

In your shoes, I'd search for a matching set at a habitat for humanity thrift, or buy a simple set that matches color of whatever else you have in there.You can mimic what the apartment complexes in my area do and offer 1/2 month or specific dollar amount off to move in by a certain time.

Might check a Habitat for humanity or a building supply "Re-Use" store; "Architectural Re-Use" store they are big here in the pacific NW to reduce dump stuff. 

Hey Michael Smith, search for a Habitat for Humanity Restore in your area.

Check out Habitat stores...one on Singleton and Hampton has cabinets.You might also check out Builders Surplus in Addison/Carrolltonor Seconds and Surplus on Regal Row.

Or you can do both--have some market rate rentals and also work on Habitat for Humanity projects, your own lower income housing project, or lobby policy makers for mixed income development.
