The next stage of my research was identifying the most important findings and implications of the data collected and analyzed along the analytical frame. First, using a traditional strategy of qualitative research, I kept a journal of emerging patterns throughout the process. This journal was most active throughout the several months of translating interviews into the detailed a case study using the aforementioned analytical frame. When each interview was entered in the database, I often summarized emerging themes that would only become more prominent. These preliminary findings were grouped in evolving categories of real estate development, community development and public policy. My intention was to recognize the multi-faceted nature of two- to four-unit properties and consider different approaches in developing recommendations. To systematically uncover additional findings not readily apparently during earlier parts of the research process, I performed a SWOT analysis within these categories, considering existing \u201cstrengths\u201d and \u201cweaknesses\u201d specific to Woodlawn or two- to four-unit properties, as well as \u201copportunities\u201d and \u201cthreats\u201d originating elsewhere. With a comprehensive list of important findings, the last two steps were revisiting the four research questions as a means for selecting the findings that were relevant, organizing them, and isolating each finding into an observation and its implication.<\/p>\n
