I will be looking at apartment buildings later this year but for now I'm going to start off small.

first couple months as an agent are pretty tough & dry, but you'll find your niche and normalize hopefully sooner rather than later.

A week and a half later my wife had an eclamptic seizure and she stroked.

I know Im not the only one doing this because when Im in court for an eviction I get a letter a few days later from a company offering PM and tenant screening services.

Would I be held liable if there are asbestos found later, since I never actually owned this property?

One strategy being to get passive income, and the other to hopefully get enough equity in the single family to be able to pull money out at a later date to invest.I am worried about how much money I am going to need on hand to be able to pull this off.

February, 2015 housing starts are down 17% from January to 593,000 units annualized, which is essentially the same as February, 2014 which had 589,000 housing starts annualized.Unadjusted non-annual starts:February 2015 = 40,700February 2014 = 40,600February 2009 = 25,000February 2005 = 124,000February 2000 = 88,000The current level of housing starts is at 1980 levels, and about 50% of the starts from 1980 to 2006.The housing starts are 1/3 of the totals in 2005, ten years later, Where's the recovery?

I do know one person who has done this and they bought in LA, CA so that was their out of state version  10 years later and counting.

I think his stuff is pretty good, his later books seem to have more fluff and less solid material. 

However, when I see what I consider an inexperienced team try to raise funds last summer on one portal (and fail) pop up on yet another portal nine months later, with the same "experienced sponsor" mantra, something is amiss.Don't get me wrong, I think there is a need for CF and it will continue to grow and offer opportunities, but what you said rings very true.
