What could possibly be making me take precious time away from my family?

Anyone with experience in the Augusta, GA area specifically? 

I have studied several areas in central Maine and feel there are several properties that could be a great deal, but would like to know how other investors have been fairing in the Waterville/Augusta/Mid-Coast Maine area.

Don't get all precious, it's not a personal attack.Your numbers are correct, but in the real world, real world things happen.

I'd strongly suggest you start researching RE in Hinesville or Columbus, I guess you could be going to Augusta, too.  

I always ask if there is upselling as part of a workshop before I take it).The thing I see happen often is people run around conferences, social media, etc. looking for a replacement of good formal training on real estate or notes, which can lead to a lot of lost time.That is fine if that suits the persons objectives but to me time is the most precious gift I have.

Your time - and mine - is precious so let's strategize on how to maximize it and not waste it.
