@ Lynnette E. 

You can verify rent history by their Schedule E's, their deposits in the accounts to verify timely payment of rents, leases, tenant at will agreements, etc. 

I havent tried looking elsewhere for my needs, but two things that I've noticed about the Sacramento market is that we are seeing a lot of Bay Area transplants trying to get away from the high cost of housing, and Sacramento's housing market seems to be going up exponentially, so it seems lik e a great long term buy-and-hold situation, based on location and market values of homes and rents.

If you have a short term rental, you need at least one tax return reflecting the income on schedule E for at least some portion of the previous year.
