Just adding thickness won't block the entire listening frequency spectrum, surface textures can help too, look to studio construction, it should explain the frequency ranges and standards as well as textures in design.....find an audio engineer.Why not ask the neighbor not to put the dog along that wall.

I just opted out of a REO deal since the bank would not provide access to the crawl space under the home to investigate and estimate the cost to stabilize the settling that was obvious from inside the home.

I lived in CA and had access through a Title Company to look up COMPS.

To a landlord of residential properties holding a house is simply holding inventory and inventory should be able to be moved and replaced to grow any business.An airport can change flight paths, bus routes can be changed, traffic patterns can change that increase traffic or make access more difficult, nearby zoning changes effect surrounding properties, there is an endless list of obsolescence factors that effect a residential property that can not be controlled.

Heck, if you do not mind me installing a keyless entry, I would build a web site for the property, pay for listing and handle all bookings and automatically email you every booking agreement as well as give you access to a web based system so you can see the details of all the costs involved in your property for 10% :)!
