Florida is a Judicial foreclosure state, so you'll have to go through the court system if you want to foreclosure.

With your dad as a contractor, you have a good support system.

Having a good sanitation system, and a city that cares about having a clean environment would be a great start.Unfortunately, after contacting the city and local groups that claim to want to make the city a beautiful place do not want to help put up a public trashcan.My last resource is contacting SEPTA and asking them.

I would try to create systems for everything so as you get bigger you can automate and delegate tasks that don't actively make you money. 

If you have a multi-family property, then you have to figure out how to make the tenants share the responsibility or you hire someone to handle it for them.You have to consider insulation, maintenance of weather stripping on doors and windows, servicing the boiler/furnace, winterizing sprinkler systems, disconnecting garden hoses from hose bibs, and much more.It's very risky to manage rentals from a distance.

Downtown has seen more than 6 billion dollars in re-dvelopment over the last 10y and now our freeway system is getting a massive expansion that should wrap up next summer. 

I won't detail mine here because that's a short book itself, long story short I use a scheduling system, video system and CRM with auto features to nurture and direct prospects.
