If this house has been gutted to the studs I have my doubts it can be completed for 15k. kitchen and bath fixtures, appliances, floor covering, drywall, trim and paint will eat up this amount. 

There are plenty of tree trimming companies to call in the city.  

Oh You can give discounts to tenants to mow and trim .. the main problem is they won’t actually do it !

The renovations include installing an egress window, installing allure flooring, new kitchen, paint job, trim, etc.

This work included: drawing architechtural plans, concrete demolition, framing, electrical, insulation, HVAC, drywall, flooring, painting, plumbing, tiling shower, installing all finishes and hardware, and trim work. 

Do small construction jobs like fences, decks, trim etc. for family or neighbors.

You won't be cleaning gutters, painting your exterior or replacing/fixing your roof, mowing/watering your lawn, removing snow, trimming trees, maintaining the driveway or the deck, pool,  etc but I will.

The siding, lumber and trim work are generally better.
