Suggest NOt going any higher than 14 SEER on Rentals. 

@Lillian Hurtarte as others suggested, talk to the landlord.

I suggest you look up the sections 8 rules in your area to find out.

Pay attention to people , who mention both the negatives and positives .And while you save and build money , I would suggest you to build your emotional wealth as well , because  the whole investing is 75% mindset and 25% learning initially , once you do few deals it will become 90% mindset and 10% skills .Please also note that - while you do your research you will come across many many "gurus" , who are unethical and fraudulent .

Hi, I am looking to build a rental portfolio this year and was looking for some referrals for a good CPA and attorney who are real estate savvy.i have tried to find some online, but none are real estate-friendly. any suggestions?

I would suggest getting a good local Omaha agent to help you identify good properties if you are looking to invest here. 

These would be finding people who haven't listed their property but likely just need the easy button and a nudge from you to make their decision to sell.Moving outside the city to some surrounding counties can help as well.2 good targets for you to Consider: Absentee Owners with Equity and Seniors with 15+ year ownership.Here are some suggestions for your area counties,Absentee Owners: 13,256 Home value up to $300,000, single and multifamily, high equity Adams 1970   Douglas 122 Arapahoe 1162   Jefferson 1703 Boulder 863   Larimer 2643 Broomfield  49   Weld 2737 Denver 2007    Senior Homeowners: 9881 availableOwner Occupied, age 60-89, single family homes, High equity, home value up to $350,000, 15+ year Ownership AND Low Financial Stability Scores (FSS) Adams 2710   Douglas 38 Arapahoe 1211   Jefferson 771 Boulder 343   Larimer 523 Broomfield  29   Weld 1205 Denver 3051
