If you have a brownstone it's going to be tough unless you have a bunch that you can hire one landscape company to do.

and We started with the exterior, landscaping, and new HVAC and windows. 

Scope the pipes to see if there is obstruction as it can cost thousands to dig up and replace, not to mention the cost to the landscaping.

Looking for some landscape advice!

Things like painting, landscaping, updating appliances, cabinets, , flooring etc, cannot be counted unfortunately.

Hi,I am looking for a landscaper and snow removal contractor in Cleveland metro.

It's a multifamily, so expect to pay garbage, landscaping, snow removal, and water/sewer (unless you charge them back to tenants).

I think would need a long-term loan (15 - 30 yr) for around $200k to achieve what I'm trying to do.Garage Apartment Addition:- I have an existing 700 sqft garage that needs a new roof- I want to add a 2nd story with 2 x 350 sqft studio units including kitchen, bed and bath- or add 1 x 700 sqft unit (whichever the city will allow...)BONUS (if money left over):- landscaping- new driveway- new fence- pool remodel----For this I want to leverage roughly $300k of equity I have built into the property.

Since all 81 units were located in one building, that meant that all investments (roof, painting, landscaping, elevator, etc..) benefit 81 units as opposed to dispersed buildings. 

Thats absolutely common and even if zoning as a right, they may want fencing, shrubbery, certain colors facing residential districts, landscaping on frontage, etc.
