Pickwick Lake water in front of the Waterloo bridge

Pickwick Lake is a TVA Tennessee River reservoir where Hardin County, Tennessee, Tishomingo County, Mississippi, and Colbert County, Alabama meet, centered on Counce and Pickwick Landing State Park. Counce is unincorporated. The drive from Memphis is about two to two and a half hours southeast. The AirROI extract, vintage August 2025 through July 2026, prints a typical year of $18,613 on one hundred listings, ADR $254, occupancy 31.9 percent, and RevPAR $78. Peak months are March, May, and August, and softest revenue is January. This is a three-state lake overnight, not a Memphis blend.

Iuka, Florence, and Muscle Shoals are adjacent desks, and Keep them. Do not steal them, and iuka prints $14,650,. Florence prints $18,962,, and muscle Shoals prints $31,093,. Averaging those cells into a Counce year would misrepresent all four markets. TVA summer-full surface of 43,100 acres is visitor landscape. The park lodge, cabins, and marina are not debt service. The 2018 Short-Term Rental Unit Act is statewide in Tennessee. It does not cover Mississippi or Alabama, and tax remittance still exists on the Hardin shore.

This page is the finance file. It puts DSCR on Counce $18,613, names the three halls that travel with the deed, and refuses an Iuka costume year. If a loan officer wants a blend lake number, send the extract and the clerk instead of a blended reservoir T12. Readthe Counce extractbefore you underwrite the published market year. The buyer question is whether the driveway sits on the Hardin shore that published $18,613, and whether the hall still matches that parcel in 2026.

DSCR on Counce Eighteen Thousand

A DSCR file starts with the published typical year on the shore that holds the driveway. For a Counce parcel, that year is $18,613, and it is not an Iuka median. It is not a Florence satellite. It is one hundred listings, ADR $254, occupancy 31.9 percent, RevPAR $78, vintage August 2025 through July 2026. Peak months are March, May, and August, and january is the hole. Stay length on the sample is 5.7 nights, and lead time is 42 days. Seventeen listings set thirty-plus nights.

A lender who wants a ratio still needs PITI, taxes, insurance, and a vacancy haircut that names January. This page does not invent a purchase price or a coverage number. It names the only published Counce 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 an Iuka rent roll, refuse.The buyer packetalready says the same thing in acquisition language. Finance language is stricter. The note does not get a three-state blend.

Confirm the use can exist before you underwrite the use. On the Hardin shore the live frame is the 2018 Short-Term Rental Unit Act. Cross-link the statute already live, and do not rebuild it here. Confirm remittance separately, and tax is not banned. AirROI Low does not override the session law. A DSCR that assumes a Memphis field is a costume. A DSCR that assumes $18,613 on a legal Hardin listings is at least reading the extract.The three-state rules fileis the companion, not a substitute for the clerk.

Do Not Mint an Iuka Year for the Note

A blended lake year is the most common costume in this file. Someone takes Counce $18,613 and Iuka $14,650, splits the difference, and writes a reservoir T12 as if the two cells were one rent roll. They are not. They have different occupancy, different sample sizes, and different identities. Counce occupancy is 31.9 percent on one hundred listings. Iuka occupancy is 30.4 percent on eighty-four listings, and iuka peaks with March, May, and October. Counce peaks with March, May, and August, and averaging those desks is not diligence. It is a blend.

Florence $18,962 is a Quad Cities desk,, ADR $185, occupancy 37.5 percent. Keep it. Do not treat it as a missing Counce upside. Do not fold it into this note. Muscle Shoals $31,093,, ADR $253, occupancy 38.7 percent, is a music and studio desk. It is not this published market year. Savannah $19,163,, is the Hardin county seat, inland and upriver. It shouldn't be averaged in either. The three shores keep the cells apart on the tile. The loan file has to keep them apart on the number.

If the parcel is not in Counce, stop using $18,613. If the parcel is an Iuka listings, the published year on that cell is $14,650 and this published market year does not own it. If the parcel is Florence, that year is a Quad Cities desk and this file will not steal it. A note that needs a year the extract did not print is a note you should not Keep. Stay length is 5.7 nights on Counce. That length does not average into an Iuka stay either.

Three Halls Travel With the Deed

The deed does not travel with a Memphis clerk. Hardin County Clerk Kathy Smith sits at 65 Court Street, Suite 1, Savannah, TN 38372, and answers at. That is the Tennessee shore desk. Hotel and motel occupancy privilege tax and county business licenses live there. There is no Counce city hall, and Leave out unverified one. Tishomingo County Chancery Clerk Peyton Cummings sits at 1008 Battleground Drive, Iuka, MS 38852, and answers at. Colbert County Probate sits at 201 North Main Street, Tuscumbia, AL 35674, and answers at.

A DSCR that names Memphis names the wrong hall. Counce is unincorporated Hardin County, and it is not Memphis. Guests originate in Memphis, and 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. Hardin County planning and zoning for short-term use was not confirmed on a primary page this pass. Start at the clerk, and Leave out unverified a permit line.

Do not file Tennessee paper on a Tishomingo driveway because the guest launched on the same lake. Do not file an Iuka packet on this parcel because the Mississippi shore prints a year.Startup costskeep the tax path off the furnish fantasy. The three phones exist because the three desks do not cover for a metro clerk. Carry all three numbers in the packet even when the question is only DSCR.

Year Over Year Is Part of the File

Counce printed plus 21.2 percent year over year on an one hundred listings sample. That is not a gold-mine slide, and it is a direction on one vintage. Supply printed plus 12.4 percent in the same window. A packet that shows only $18,613 as if the cell were a finished yield is selling a town the extract did not print. Put both signs in the file. The officer should see that this Hardin cell moved up in the August 2025 through July 2026 window, and that more listings arrived with the move.

Do not treat plus 21.2 percent as a reason to invent a Muscle Shoals recovery. Do not treat it as a reason to borrow Muscle Shoals $31,093. Iuka printed minus 13.2 percent on eighty-four listings. Florence printed minus 0.7 percent on one hundred eighty-six. Those signs stay on those cells. They are not a reason to average a lake-wide forecast with whatever a broker memo hopes for. Professionally managed share is 12.0 percent, and superhost share is 75.0 percent. Those composition facts do not erase the vintage, and they do not authorize a blended forecast.

If you have actuals on the subject address, those actuals outrank the typical year. If you do not, $18,613 is the published Counce desk. Keep the vintage on the page. Keep January on the page.The January holeis the calendar companion. A DSCR that prices every month like March is not reading the extract. A DSCR that prices Counce like Muscle Shoals occupancy 38.7 percent is the same error with a studio name.

Visitor Spend Is Not Debt Service

TVA Pickwick Reservoir, summer-full surface 43,100 acres and nearly 490 miles of shoreline, with the dam at Tennessee River mile 206.7 in Hardin County, is visitor landscape. Rank-file copy likes to treat those acres as if they filled one hundred 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 shoreline miles by listing count. Do not turn a visitor landscape into $18,613 twice.

Pickwick Landing State Park is 1,407 acres at 116 State Park Lane, Counce. The park office answers at. Lodge, cabins, and marina are the real non-private competitor. They are not occupancy on the private extract. The Hardin County Agricultural Fair in Savannah is a dated county-seat hook, August 28 through September 5, 2026 at fetch, not Counce T12. Do not confuse it with a Kentucky fair of the same county name. Shiloh is a different desk, and do not Keep it as this lodging market.The tourism filekeeps visitor dollars off the host extract. The loan file has to do the same.

Bass weekends, houseboat weeks, and park lodge-alternative stays are guest desks. They help explain why a guest typed Pickwick, and they do not raise the typical year. The park restaurant, golf, and harbor master are visitor desks too. They do not print $18,613. A lender who wants reservoir traffic in the narrative can have the narrative after the number. The number stays $18,613 on this cell, or a different cell's number on a different driveway, or a refusal if the officer wants a blend.

Thirty-Plus Settings Are Not Filled January

Counce shows seventeen listings set to thirty-plus nights on this market sample, 17 percent of the sample. That is not a filled January, and softest revenue is January. The low stretch is January, September, and November. A 30-night toggle does not close those months, and inventing a monthly markdown would not close them either. Eight-plus guest capacity is the most common tier on this market sample. A group house is not a filled January. Leave out unverified a healthcare or energy-traveler demand story that is not on a primary page. This is not a ski town. Do not dress the hole as leftover winter sport.

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 hope as occupied January is reading a wish as a night. Stay length is 5.7 nights, and lead time is 42 days. Those facts do not fill January.

Tax on stays under thirty days is still a remittance line on the Hardin shore. 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 5.7, send seventeen thirty-plus settings, then send actuals if you have them. Do not send a made-up monthly yield, and sixty-seven percent of listings set a two-night minimum. Twelve percent set an one-night min, and those filters are not a filled calendar either. The hole stays on the page.

Tennessee DSCR Facts Only

The facts that can sit in a Tennessee DSCR packet here are the facts on this market sample and the Hardin hall. Counce $18,613, ADR $254, occupancy 31.9 percent,, peaks March, May, August, January hole, plus 21.2 percent, 12.0 percent professionally managed, seventeen thirty-plus settings, stay 5.7 nights, lead 42 days, Hardin County Clerk, the 2018 Act statewide in Tennessee. Unincorporated Counce travels with the deed, and confirm remittance. Leave out unverified a Counce city permit. No dedicated Hardin short-term permit was confirmed this pass. Flag that unknown and ask the clerk.

Do not import Iuka $14,650 as this published market year's year. Do not import Florence $18,962 as this published market year's year. Do not import Muscle Shoals $31,093 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 three-state T12, and airROI Low is a scrape. The live Tennessee frame is the 2018 Act. Those are legal facts on the Hardin shore, not revenue. Origin city on the page is Memphis, and origin is not a Memphis year.

If a loan product requires a DSCR ratio, compute it from PITI and from $18,613 after the clerk confirms the parcel, and only on this cell. This page will not mint the ratio.The marketing filecan sell the dock and the launch after the note is honest. The note stays on the shore line, and superhost share is 75.0 percent. Entire-home share is 100 percent, and those are sample composition facts. They are not extra revenue you can add to $18,613.

What a Lender Packet Should Carry

Carry the address, the county, the state, and the hall phone that matches the driveway. Carry the published cell that matches that municipality, which on this published market year is $18,613. Carry vintage August 2025 through July 2026. Carry year over year as printed, plus 21.2 percent, and supply plus 12.4 percent. Carry January as the hole. Carry March, May, and August as the peak three. Carry the 2018 Act as diligence on a Tennessee parcel, not as occupancy. Carry tax registration as a line, and carry actuals if the subject has them. Carry a photo set that matches Counce, not a Memphis blend.

Do not carry a blended Iuka rent roll, and do not carry Florence $18,962 as this T12. Do not carry Muscle Shoals $31,093 as this T12. Do not carry TVA acres as debt service, and do not carry AirROI Low as Hardin law. Do not carry the park lodge as private occupancy. Evolve is on the extract, and it does not raise $18,613. If the officer still wants one lake number, send this page and.the city hall registrationinstead of inventing one.

The packet that survives is the packet that can say Counce $18,613 out loud and stop. Carry unincorporated status, and carry stay 5.7 and lead 42. Carry seventeen thirty-plus settings. Carry the Hardin hall at 65 Court Street, Suite 1. If the hall later says the parcel is not the county you named, the packet is closed too.Who books this lakecan wait until the note is honest. The note is honest when it refuses an Iuka year.
