During my professional career I've worked in various capacities in hydrology, water regulations, and aquatic habitat projects.

Tile works in kitchens and bathrooms.Kitchen cabinets, we usually try to salvage cabinets and countertops, but if we cant, then we usually try to look at surplus stores and especially if you have a habitat for humanity restore, or consignment shop, we try to get solid wood cabinets from there for as cheap as possible.Builder grade everything usually, depending on the class of your rental.

Habitat For Humanity.

You can see if there are any restore - habitat for humanity building supply stores in the area, you might get lucky and pick up a handful of some decent ones for cheap, and buy the rest at retail at home depot.

I've previously seen someone mention signing up for Habitat for Humanity.

But it is usually Habitat for Humanity and other non-profits building for underresourced individuals. 

Create a unique atmosphere tailored to your style and interests while prioritizing the preservation of wildlife and natural habitats.

If you know nothing about housing join Habitat for Humanity and do several projects.  

Here you go, saving money by going to Habitat for Humanity to restore and find material.

We also found a place on a quiet street in Arlington... in an area that has a special tax to support habitat for Stephens' kangaroo rat ;-) I still love California, though.Prices seem to be mid-200s for a 1400 sf SFR in pretty nice shape.
