Does this guarantee I can run an Airbnb?
No. It summarizes the rules PulseReal has on file. Zoning, permit caps and HOA covenants can still forbid it, so confirm with the city and read the HOA documents before you buy.
What does share STR-allowed mean?
PulseReal classifies every listing it underwrites using local rules. The share is how many of the city's listings look permitted for short-term rental, a quick read on how restrictive the market is.
