Verifying last 2 years of rental history very important!

What documents do they require, what credit scores do they allow, how do they verify previous rental history, etc.?

I would give them suggested vendors, a consequence for failing to complete, a deadline to complete the work, and notice that I will inspect to verify the work is done to my satisfaction.After notifying the tenant, then I would contact the owner (phone or email, depending on their personal preference and my time) and let them know what happened and how I'm addressing it.

If you choose to proceed, I recommend verifying the source of the funds as it could be tied to a specific type of compensation.

Are there any free public sites to verify criminal and rental history in california?

They may need a notice to quit their services, which may include listing. better to follow up on documentation to verify. 

There's a variety of ways to get a deal in front of you (I'm mostly a flipper), but basically if it looks promising, I run custom comps queries and check the current & past $/sf of renovated/distressed product in that city or zipcode.Here's a chart on 90066 I generated from my tool under Market Stats > Sales Data > Specific Zip Code:- My above chart (more available) shows the Avg Renovated $/sf (High) over time in this Zip Code, something completely different than charts/providers based on Averages/Medians only, like every other platform (RedFin Below, https://www.redfin.com/news/data-center/):- Can't select smaller locations such as City or Zipcode for their $/sf data, so it's useless helping me underwrite/verify a deal.- Can set Zip Code for Median Sale Price data, but again it's the median/avg so it's useless helping me underwrite/verify a deal.Then if that looks decent, I'll run Sales Comps, and get a quick summary of some key metrics based on those comps.

They are very strict when it comes to verifying experience.
