I really, REALLY wanted to punch the previous owner who added the 2nd floor in the face for not putting in ANY kind of insulation or isolation clips on the 1st floor ceiling after living there for 3 years.

I would be there is not a crack isolation membrane below the tile. 

The bottom line is that (for the most part) swings in the market aren’t isolated and independent of other variables.

In this way, the number can be pretty meaningful.But once you isolate the best prospects, do your own analysis to come up with a better market value.

The only reason I can think of is risk isolation from the other properties but it sounds like it'd be more difficult to keep up the paperwork.Regards,Austin

If you are equally focused on sound isolation, then proper use of the clips does help with isolation of the channel from the framing to which it is attached.

There are plenty of duty stations that are geographically isolated or in economically depressed areas. 

If you isolate them and approach them you can get yourself a significant credit boost.Best of luck.

Probably reflective of the fact that Qatar is isolated politically and is investing in the country as opposed to Dubai or outside the MENA area. 

Hopefully it stays isolated within city boundaries....
