Hello Karen,
After all of the condo conversions during the housing boom there has been a deficiency in rental units. This coupled with the perceived risk currently associated with purchasing a home, and the unfortunate foreclosure rate locally; there is a market there.
Depending on the type of rental property you are looking into as well as location and other factors it may be a good investment.
Hope that this helps,
Terry Hammill

Hello Eddie !!
Have you considered buying a home instead of renting ??? Unless you just filed for BK and/or had a short sale or lost a home to foreclosure (within the last 3 years), you really owe it to yourself and your family to look at buying instead. -- Don't think you have enough for a downpayment ??? Want to be given a nice surprise ?!?!?
►When do you have a moment to talk ???
NO Strings attached, No Commitment to purchase required, just a nice chat . Let me warn you, its cheaper to buy your home than to rent these days !!!!
Most Kindest Regards,
Mario Gonzalez

The other answers are excellent, although you may want to check with one of the real estate offices that have a large rental business. Look in the physical or on-line yellow pages for listings.
Additionally, you could check Craigslist's homes for rent section or the Riverside Press-Enterprise on line at pe.com.
Hope this helps.
