...for people starting out in AM to have so many sites? I see some people starting out with 20+ sites, and wow thats got to be a crap ton of work!
Is it typical...

You don't want to put all your eggs in one basket. I would get around 5-10 starting out and test, and optimize until one of those makes some money.
How much work it is really depends on how you set it up. Setting up the site itself is really not that much work so it depends on how much work they need going forward.
The big advantage of running multiple sites is you do not need any home runs starting out. Make a few base hits and you can bring in enough case to make a living. Also you will learn something with each site so hopefully you do a better job each time as well. Much better than trying to make it rich on your first site and crashing and burning.

messed up my last post. So for projects for multiple domains are you guys buying virtual hosts to run 15+ domains or what not on? Seems that would be the way to go instead of shared hosting from godaddy or what not. Unless you have a full physical box someplace.
Yup...I'm guilty 27 sites up in 3-4 months, roughly another 50 more domains locked and loaded waiting for me to index them.
Only difference being I am invested heavily invested in Master Resell Rights, PLR, and kick ass minisites! (Roughly 6,000 products since January)
Now for the fun part... build several WP sites, amass a social network of thousands, build backlinks, learn SEO, figure out Camtasia Studio 7.1...and ultimately start driving massive traffic to it all!
I don't know what scares me more....having learned things I never thought possible?
Or
What I'll do when all this hard work is done, and the traffic (money) starts rolling in, and all the little hindrances become known (i.e. glitches, bugs, download issues, refunds, emails, auto-responder maintence and follow-ups, dead-links etc...)
I have literally acquired 70+ GB's of files, templates, squeeze pages, training products, info, graphics, content, articles, eBooks...etc... It's mind boggling
Oh yeah, and then setting it up to find affiliates who want to make 60% commissions selling my shit!
I sincerely believe of all the prior addictions I survived...the internet could very well be the therapist I needed....as it is without question the equivalent to that which sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll was to me in the 80's...sorry, had a little flashback there.
PS- In regard to your last bit, I just upgraded to a HostGator Business Account, unlimited domains....like $150-$180 per year, and with all I have uploaded, I have only used like 25% of the alotted (unlimited...lol) storage space. Eventually, I'll upgrade to either VPS or my own servers and reseller account. I think within the next 6 months actually
PSS- IMO Buy domains rom GoDaddy, set your DNS to HostGator...much better hosting provider. Again, IMO

My biggest concern right now I guess, should probably be process everything that ive been reading, and focus on 1 or 2 sites / products then. Is that what you guys would recommend?
Regarding most of the sites "Yes" I am, for this phase. But, I am building WP sites that house multiple products throughout, and information relevant to both my product and content. Eventually, the idea is to drive traffic to the WP sites, then pre-sell the visitor to the money-page/product.
Then, I throw together a 'free' blogger account as a sub-structure to the main site.
Again, I'm just getting started...but whether your promoting affiliate products or your own I think it's important to cover all angles.
Search "G" for "Mack Michael's" -he created "Maverick Money Maker's", "Millionaire Society", and some spin-off products. He focuses on 'affiliate' marketing, and from the few free videos I've seen...the guy is a f'in genius.
I've yet to really apply his teachings, as I have 27 more pre-scripted product sites to build. Then, I will focus solely on TRAFFIC, SEO, backlinks, build a member site...etc. (that crap load of work!)
I didn't even know InterNIC would allow someone to register 27 domains themselves. It must be utter chaos if three or four of these renew on the same day. Crazy.
