As of August 2026, we analyzed 1,619 active for-sale homes in Clarksville, Tennessee. The typical listing is priced at $350,000 and is projected to generate about $33,271 a year as a short-term rental.
After setting aside an estimated 20% for operating costs, an estimated 60.2% of those homes could still cover an investor mortgage payment on short-term-rental income — roughly in line with the 52.5% median across the 200 major metros we track, ranking Clarksville #69 of 200 for cash-flow potential.
On market momentum: homes in Clarksville sit a median of 52 days on the market, and 30% of active listings came on in just the last 30 days — a steadily paced market, which shapes how much room there is to negotiate.
For a DSCR loan — which qualifies on the property's rental income rather than your personal income — that's a relatively healthy setup: in Clarksville, a meaningful share of listings throw off enough short-term-rental income, after costs, to cover an estimated investor mortgage payment.

Darker means a larger share of that group cash-flows. “—” means fewer than 8 active listings — too few to draw a conclusion from.
