Frequently Asked Questions

Where does this data come from?

Market rates and nights booked come from short-term rental market data (the date is printed under every table), our own results from our portfolio booking analytics, and the permit rules from each jurisdiction's ordinance and program page.

Does this work for both CA and NV sides?

Yes. The permit table covers all seven jurisdictions on both sides of the lake, from Placer and El Dorado counties in California to Washoe and Douglas counties in Nevada. The market numbers cover the North and West Shore.

Will your team underwrite a specific property for me?

Yes. Reply to the welcome email with an address and we'll pull its permit rules and market numbers at no charge.
