This document is an empathy map for the owner of a real estate investment, property management, and renovation company. It outlines several of their needs and perspectives: 1) They need to be able to trust employees and want honesty in daily business dealings. 2) The work can be physically dangerous and requires specific skills and mindsets, so employees need to be self-starters with a strong work ethic who can get along with others. 3) Cash flow is important for short-term needs, while the business is their long-term retirement plan, so budgets must be considered.

Here are the key points from the article:
- Customer service is an area that requires continuous improvement in most organizations. There are often gaps between the desired customer experience and what is actually delivered.
- Organizations should regularly evaluate their customer service performance through metrics, feedback from customers, and employee insights. This helps identify areas that need to be strengthened.
- Common gaps include slow response times, unhelpful or ill-informed agents, inconsistent policies, and failures to resolve issues on the first contact. Addressing these improves customer satisfaction.
- Continuous improvement involves implementing initiatives to enhance training, streamline processes, use technology more effectively, and establish a strong customer-centric culture among employees.

You will do well if you are a self- starter, have a GREAT work ethic and can get along with others (be a diplomat.) I want us ALL to be safe. These are dangerous neighborhoods and dangerous times. Short term: Cash flow is king for me. We all need to be mindful of budgets. Longer-term this business is my nest-egg. I need to surround myself with capable and reputable people (from tenants to employees). Relies on close personal network for employees. Participates in much of the work herself/hands-on. (evictions, renovations, collecting rent, etc.) I want us all to be safe in this job. I dont want anyone to get hurt (all should have peace of mind). I feel we are all working to rebuild distressed communities one house at a time. My employees know that I have their back no matter what. Small business owner who built small company with own $ and resources. Scale her business for sustained growth in hard economic times with scarce resources. She wants to revitalize blighted areas and ensure her retirement viability. Possible outreach/intern opportunities with local like- minded institutions (sociology, urban planning/development, builders, renovators, contractors, carpenters, Habitat for Humanity, etc.) The housing and financial bust of 2007/2008 has changed the work landscape in the US forever. The world is changing. Not everyone can and should go to a 4-year college. There is a lot of conversation (even in academic circles) around a renewed focus on trades and vocational schools.
