Geneva-on-the-Lake is a village of census 916 about forty-six miles and under one hour northeast of Cleveland via I-90 and OH-534. The AirROI extract, vintage August 2025 through July 2026, prints a typical year of $23,170 on one hundred fifty-one listings, ADR $301, occupancy 32.3 percent, and RevPAR $97. Peak months are August, July, and June, and softest revenue is February. Year over year printed minus 14.7 percent. This is Ohio's First Summer Resort, not a Cleveland blend.

City of Geneva and Ashtabula are adjacent desks, and Keep them. Do not steal them, and city of Geneva prints $16,816 on eighty-eight listings. Ashtabula prints $19,015 on seventy-six listings; these are separate reporting cells, so treat them as distinct figures rather than blending them into a Geneva-on-the-Lake year. The Strip is visitor landscape. Old Firehouse at 5499 Lake Road E is a dated hook. Village hall sits at 4929 South Warner Drive. Bed tax is 3 percent village plus 5 percent county lodging. Pittsburgh is the extract origin.

This page is the finance file. It puts DSCR on Geneva-on-the-Lake $23,170, names the two taxes that travel with the deed, and refuses a City of Geneva costume year. If a loan officer wants a blend shore number, send the extract and the clerk instead of a blended Lake Erie T12. Readthe Geneva-on-the-Lake extractbefore you underwrite the village. The buyer question is whether the driveway sits in the resort that published $23,170.

DSCR on Geneva-on-the-Lake Twenty-Three Thousand

A DSCR file starts with the published typical year on the village that holds the driveway. For a Geneva-on-the-Lake parcel, that year is $23,170, and it is not a City of Geneva median. It is one hundred fifty-one listings, ADR $301, occupancy 32.3 percent, RevPAR $97, vintage August 2025 through July 2026. Peak month is August, with July and June, and february is the hole. Stay length is 2.6 nights, and lead time is 74 days.

A lender who wants a ratio still needs PITI, taxes, insurance, and a vacancy haircut that names February. This page does not invent a purchase price or a coverage number. It names the only published Geneva-on-the-Lake year the packet can carry. If the officer asks for last twelve months of actuals on a specific address, send that address. If the officer asks for a City of Geneva rent roll, refuse.The buyer packetalready says the same thing in acquisition language. The note does not get a shore blend.

Confirm the use can exist before you underwrite the use. Village bed tax is 3 percent on transient rent. County lodging tax is 5 percent. Zoning inspector Alex Iarocci sits at (440) 466-8197 x103. A dedicated short-term cap is not confirmed on the village page. Confirm that with hall before you draft one into the note. AirROI Low is a scrape. A DSCR that assumes a Cleveland field is a costume. A DSCR that assumes $23,170 on a legal listings is at least reading the extract.The rules fileis the companion, not a substitute for the clerk.

Do Not Mint a City of Geneva Year for the Note

A blended inland year is the most common costume in this file. Someone takes Geneva-on-the-Lake $23,170 and City of Geneva $16,816, splits the difference, and writes a two-Geneva T12 as if the two cells were one rent roll. They are not. They have different occupancy, different sample sizes, and different identities. Geneva-on-the-Lake occupancy is 32.3 percent on one hundred fifty-one listings. City of Geneva occupancy is 30.6 percent on eighty-eight listings. Averaging those desks is not diligence, and it is a blend.

Ashtabula $19,015 is seventy-six listings, and Keep it. Do not treat it as a missing harbor downside or a safer county-city substitute. Do not fold it into this note, and madison $31,610 is fifty-eight listings. Conneaut $18,048 is forty-seven, and mentor $22,835 is twenty-three. Keep those desks, and they are not this published market year. Sewickley is a Pittsburgh-suburb vendor blend, and it is not Geneva-on-the-Lake.The three identitieskeep the towns apart on the tile. The loan file has to keep them apart on the number.

If the parcel is not in the village, stop using $23,170. If the parcel is a City of Geneva listings, that published year is $16,816 on eighty-eight listings, and this file will not steal it as the village note. If the parcel is Ashtabula, that year is $19,015. A note that needs a year the extract did not print is a note you should not Keep. Stay 2.6 does not average into City of Geneva stay 3.0 either. Occupancy 32.3 percent does not average into inland 30.6 percent.

Two Taxes Travel With the Deed

The deed travels with two lodging remittances, not one. Village bed tax is 3 percent on the gross rent of transient rentals, collected by the village. County lodging tax is 5 percent, collected by the county. Village hall sits at 4929 South Warner Drive and answers at (440) 466-8197. Fiscal officer Kate Lach sits at x104. Administrative assistant Cheyenne Carr sits at x101 for bed-tax paper. Zoning inspector Alex Iarocci sits at x103. Leave out unverified a village cap because a lender asked for a permit number. Confirm the live stack at hall before the note closes.

A DSCR that names City of Geneva hall names the wrong desk. Geneva-on-the-Lake is the resort village, and city of Geneva is the inland city. Guests originate in Pittsburgh on this market sample, and cleveland is the drive market. Origin is not jurisdiction.The city hall registrationis the registration checklist. The finance file only repeats it so the note does not lose the hall. Confirm remittance at the desk that matches the tax map. Tax is not occupancy, but it is a line the underwriter will ask for.

Do not file City of Geneva paper on a Strip driveway because the guest drove I-90. Do not file Ashtabula harbor paper on this parcel because Wine and Walleye lives in the harbor.Startup costskeep the tax path off the furnish fantasy. Village income tax is 1.5 percent through CCA and is a third line, not a substitute for bed tax. Carry both lodging phones in the packet even when the question is only DSCR.

Year Over Year Is Part of the File

Geneva-on-the-Lake printed minus 14.7 percent year over year on an one hundred fifty-one listings sample. That is not a resort slide, and it is a direction on one vintage. A packet that hides the minus and shows only $23,170 as if the cell were rising is selling a village the extract did not print. Put the sign in the file. The officer should see that this resort desk moved down in the August 2025 through July 2026 window. A missing minus is already a costume year.

Do not treat minus 14.7 percent as a reason to invent a City of Geneva recovery. City of Geneva printed minus 32.8 percent on eighty-eight listings. That sign stays on the inland city. Do not treat the village minus as a reason to borrow Ashtabula $19,015. Professionally managed share is 17.9 percent, and superhost share is 83.4 percent. Sunset is already on the extract with twenty listings. Those composition facts do not erase the minus. They also do not authorize a blended forecast with Madison plus whatever a broker memo hopes for.

If you have actuals on the subject address, those actuals outrank the typical year. If you do not, $23,170 is the published village desk. Keep the vintage on the page. Keep February on the page.The February holeis the calendar companion. A DSCR that prices every month like August is not reading the extract. A DSCR that prices the village like a City of Geneva January hole is the same error with a different n. April and November sit in the low stretch with February. They are not August either.

Visitor Spend Is Not Debt Service

The Strip is about a mile of Lake Road. Mini-golf, arcades, Fascination since 1918, climbing walls, and lakefront dining sit on that mile. Rank-file copy likes to treat the mile as if it filled one hundred fifty-one calendars. That is a tourism claim, and it is not occupancy on this market sample. It is not a DSCR input, and do not divide The Strip by listing count. Do not turn a visitor landscape into $23,170 twice. Arcade lights do not become a coverage ratio, and picnic dates do not become nights.

Old Firehouse Winery at 5499 Lake Road E is a dated hook in the village's first fire station. Thunder on the Strip runs September 10 through 13, 2026. Those are guest desks, and they are not T12. Wine and Walleye is an Ashtabula Harbor event, and it is not a Strip festival. Do not Keep it as this one.The tourism filekeeps visitor dollars off the host extract, and the loan file has to do the same. A festival weekend is a date, not a rent roll. Chamber copy is visitor landscape too.

Eighteen sixty-nine is demand history, not debt service. Public picnic ground since 1869 and Erieview Park from 1945 through 2006 explain why a guest typed Geneva-on-the-Lake. They do not raise the typical year. A lender who wants resort traffic in the narrative can have the narrative after the number. The number stays $23,170 on this cell, or a different cell's number on a different driveway, or a refusal if the officer wants a blend. Census 916 travels with that refusal, and visitor season is what guests walk. It is not your year.

Thirty-Plus Settings Are Not Filled February

Geneva-on-the-Lake shows seventy-three listings set to thirty-plus nights on this market sample, about 48.3 percent of the sample. That is not a filled February, and softest revenue is February. The low stretch is February, April, and November. A 30-night toggle does not close those months, and inventing a bigger one would not close them either. This is not a ski town. Do not dress the hole as leftover winter sport. A setting is not a night, and April is still on the low stretch.

Leave out unverified a weekly percent cut. Leave out unverified a monthly markdown to make the hole look underwritten. Price the month the extract named.The remote deskis where thirty-night language belongs, as a workspace Keep, not as costume occupancy. A DSCR that treats a long-stay setting as occupied winter is reading a wish as a night. Stay length is 2.6 nights, and lead time is 74 days. Those facts do not fill February, and city of Geneva shows nineteen thirty-plus listings. That is their cell, not this one.

Tax on stays under thirty days is still a remittance line. A longer stay can change the tax desk, and it does not change the published typical year. If the underwriter wants a long-stay case, send stay 2.6, send seventy-three thirty-plus settings, then send actuals if you have them. Do not send a made-up monthly yield, and one-night minimums sit on 24.5 percent of listings. That filter is not a filled calendar either, and the hole stays on the page. Lead 74 days is a weekend pattern, not a filled January.

Ohio DSCR Facts Only

The facts that can sit in an Ohio DSCR packet here are the facts on this market sample and this hall. Geneva-on-the-Lake $23,170, ADR $301, occupancy 32.3 percent,, peaks August, July, June, February hole, minus 14.7 percent, 17.9 percent professionally managed, seventy-three thirty-plus settings, stay 2.6 nights, lead 74 days, hall (440) 466-8197 at 4929 South Warner Drive, bed tax 3 percent, county lodging 5 percent. Census 916 travels with the deed, and confirm remittance. Leave out unverified a village cap.

Do not import City of Geneva $16,816 as this published market year's year. Do not import Ashtabula $19,015 as this published market year's year. Do not import a costume weekly percent, and do not import a costume monthly percent. Do not Keep a shore T12, and airROI Low is a scrape. The live stack is two taxes and a zoning inspector. Those are legal facts, and they are not revenue. Guests are 99.2 percent domestic, and origin city on the page is Pittsburgh. Cleveland is the drive market, and origin is not a Cleveland year. Sunset on twenty listings is composition, not extra rent.

If a loan product requires a DSCR ratio, compute it from PITI and from $23,170 after the clerk confirms the parcel, and only on this cell. This page will not mint the ratio.The marketing filecan sell The Strip and the Firehouse after the note is honest. The note stays on the village line, and superhost share is 83.4 percent. Entire-home share is 90.7 percent, and those are sample composition facts. They are not extra revenue you can add to $23,170.

What a Lender Packet Should Carry

Carry the address, the village, the county, and the hall phone. Carry the published cell that matches that village, which on this published market year is $23,170. Carry vintage August 2025 through July 2026. Carry year over year as printed, minus 14.7 percent. Carry February as the hole. Carry August, July, and June as the peak three. Carry the two taxes as diligence, not as occupancy. Carry tax registration as a line, and carry actuals if the subject has them. Carry a photo set that matches Geneva-on-the-Lake, not a Cleveland blend.

Do not carry a blended City of Geneva rent roll. Do not carry Ashtabula $19,015 as this T12, and do not carry The Strip as debt service. Do not carry AirROI Low as village law. Do not carry Wine and Walleye as a Strip weekend. Do not carry City of Geneva paper as the hall. If the officer still wants one shore number, send this page and.the city hall registrationinstead of inventing one. A shore number is still a blend even when the officer asked for it.

The packet that survives is the packet that can say Geneva-on-the-Lake $23,170 out loud and stop. Carry census 916, and carry stay 2.6 and lead 74. Carry seventy-three thirty-plus settings. Carry hall at 4929 South Warner Drive and Kate Lach at x104. If the hall later says the parcel is not the village you named, the packet is closed too.Who books this villagecan wait until the note is honest. The note is honest when it refuses a City of Geneva year outright.
