Where to buy new cabinets for remodeling

Question

In the process of remodeling a new purchase of 12 units over the next 6-12 months and want to replace all kitchen cabinets. Where do other landlords and flippers buy their cabinets from? I would like to buy assembled cabinets but will take RTA if need to. Just need recommendations. Thanks in advance.

@John B. Waugaman Jr. I've been getting cabinets from the factory which is not too far away.  But they since have closed the factory.  They were already assembled and also sold cabinets that were ordered but never picked up at big discounts.  Since they closed, I asked a rehabber where they were getting their cabinets.  They recommended a local lumber yard selling RTA.  I bought 10 cabinets for $1,931.  I had my regular carpenter and a helper assemble the cabinets.  It took the 2 all day to assemble the cabinets. Part of the problem was that they were unfamiliar with assembling RTA. Different brand of RTA cabinets go together differently. It then took 2 experienced carpenters to hang and set all the cabinets. It ended up being 14 cabinets (4 were already assembled and added from my own inventory.) I was able to transport the 10 RTA cabinets in one pickup load, as it was palletized on one pallet and shrink wrapped;  so easy to transport.  Another builder told me they always use RTA, and buys them from the big box stores.

@John B. Waugaman Jr. I have used IKEA cabinets in a number of remodels. Easy to assemble once you done a couple, flexible design options, good hardware and they hold up very well.

For an apartment rehab, I would use RTA, even though I hate 'em. They are just a lot cheaper!

Try to find a local Cabinet/counter company...they will love to work with an investor like you...

I would reach out to local contractors. There is a cabinet place one of my contractors got me in touch with and it saves me $1,000 or more on cabinets for a full kitchen. Think that would be an option in your market too, just need to ask around.
