Also, can you recommend any brand of cabinets or place to purchase mid-level cabinetry?

For Kitchen cabinets at a great price for flipping, I'd recommend www.tucucina.com, they have the best quality cabinets and they install them as well.

I've been forced to pull down cabinets, tear open walls and trench up finished basements to allow inspectors to have a look at work done decades ago. 

My home received an overhaul, including: new roof, full painting (interior/exterior), all new countertops in kitchen and 2 bathrooms, all new hardware and fixtures (knobs, handles, faucets), brand new cabinet door refacing.

It needs new garage door (slightly damaged), paint, carpet, kitchen cabinets, refrigerator, furnance (stolen), washer and dryer.  

Paint the floors with enamel deck paint and seal with polyurethane. 5 Kitchen: Install fewer cabinets and use more built in pantries.

We've got a lot of rehab on this one, however: needs all new plumbing, all new HVAC, updated flooring, updated kitchen cabinets, and a whole new bathroom in one of the units.

.$40,000 for the kitchen (sorry no pictures) which only includes drywall, gutting, plumbing, electrical, labor and cabinets.

Rip out the cabinets and counter tops, and replace.  

Since we DIDNT have construction experience, we started out with almost no rehab work, and have slowly built our sphere of contractors to the point where we were able to recently complete a full remodel complete with removing walls, doors, windows, permitting, adding a new bath, cabinets etc etc.It sounds like you are miles ahead of us with having professional contracting experience that you can rely on.
