Would you rent to me ?

I have a hypothetical question....I was reading a post earlier where previous landlord and employment verification is strongly recommended.

My personal situation is I have never rented and own my own home. I am self employed so who verifies my employment ? If I were to sell my house tomorrow (i dont have intentions to) would I not be able to rent from you'll even though my personal finances are great ?

@Waylon Zook

The way we check for income on self-employed people is to ask for historical tax returns.
