Unfortunately i fear you will mostly learn what not to do/repeat.Good luck

See, the older I get (don't ask), the more annoyed I get with the endless "I WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO CUT YOUR TAXES in DECEMBER" emails, posts, webinars, podcasts, TikToks, YouTubes and whatnot.

I don't have much patience or sympathy towards the annual flood of "Terrific End-of-Year Tips to Cut Your Taxes" webinars, podcasts, articles and whatnot. 

In the end it was a HUGE learning experience for me and I learned what NOT to do.

Countries like the US and Canada have travel advices letting you where not to go (and what not to do).If you want to succumb to media sensationalism and headlines meant to sell, be my guest.

Because everyone is with shinny object syndrome, or chasing some scheme, gimmick or what not.

This a great place to learn what to do and more importantly what not to do.

As far as your comment about a vulture offering, most of these banks have already written the debt off and are still upside down on UPB vs FMV and are glad to move these deals because they aren't the typical $125K+ assets that most banks and other larger hedgefunds are going after, which does drive the price up into the 70% of FMV of value.Most investors botch the calls because they don't know what to say or what not to say.  

If Facebook is starting it then it is precisely what NOT to do.

You need to understand the market, advertise to buyers, show it in the best light, know what to say and what not to say, be skilled at negotiation, understand contracts, and much more.If you don't know how valuable a good agent can be, it's because you've never used one, or they made it look easy because they are skilled.
