Inglewood's rental protection is making me submit drivers license, bills and tax license for a unit that at this time I have no incentive to rent when someone can get away with not paying the rent for months.

If they call from another number, tell them you've given them the information and you're sorry if they aren't happy with the answer, but they are being billed for damages they caused and then hang up.

./.history of the “real estate guru”1971 - Bill Nickerson, author of the first and maybe the best small investor real estate book “How I Turned $5,000 into $5million in Real Estate in my Spare Time” teams with Albert Lowery, a successful disciple of Nickerson’s methodology to form the Nickerson - Lowery seminars.  

Quote from @Bill Hampton: @Ben StanleyIf you have to use 401k funds for a down payment, then you are not financially ready to buy a house. 

I will post my story on here... it resulted in a more than 8000 loss... and water bills which were not paid, and which Northpoint was supposed to assist in transfering to tenant's name. 

For example if payroll is 10k a week, have overhead, material bills, etc and multiple jobs waiting on payment theres potentially a six figure carry that adds up very very quickly..

 @Bill Hampton:Thank you so very much Bill.

Second, if one of the units has a vacancy then the other unit or two can help carry the bills.

@Bill Buzzell Thanks.

While there is often a delay from sale to distributing to investors to cover various bills that were incurred during ownership but received post close, typically these are cleared up within a month, maybe two.The bigger issue is not "doing what you say you will do".
