I don't take credit cards but I believe stripe does.   

Its a site for direct booking so you make the rules and requirements, you take payment by however you want - cash, check, Venmo, Zelle, or regular credit cards if you are set up with Stripe, Square or one of the other processors. 

Then I went out fishing for rockfish ( striped bass )  and we got 3 keepers .   

There is no such thing as "...stripe out capex..." lol.

This is what I call "earning your stripes", and it is for the better that you learn these lessons early on in your career as they make you a more shrewd investor.Here's my background: It took me 8 months after initially learning about wholesaling to close my first deal.

.⚙️ Stripe/PayPal integration so you can accept payments directly.🖼️ Easy drag-and-drop website builder — no coding.💻 Mobile responsive & SEO-friendly (helps you show up on Google).🚀 Upgrade only if you want custom branding, automated emails, or channel sync.👉 https://www.lodgify.comPro Tip: Even the free plan looks professional — and you can link it from your Airbnb messages (“Book your next stay with us directly for 10% off!”).

They claim they've upgraded to Stripe but I've seen no difference- they promised a quicker processing and deposit into my account, alas no change.

No booking fees for guests or owners, although you can purchase extras(which I have not had the need to add) Can use either Stripe or Square to accept credit card payment or take payment on your own by whatever payment you prefer.

They also offer damage protection for a fee.I can take credit cards for payment through STRIPE on Houfy, and I charge a credit card fee because I am charged the credit card fee,  but I also give my guests the option to pay me directly with check, venmo or zelle, without the extra fee.I have 4 listings and out of the 48 reservations I have received this year, 38 are direct bookings through Houfy.

I recently decided to stop letting uncertainty hold me back and start actively building wealth—especially through strategies like wholesaling and seller financing that don’t require tons of upfront capital.I’m here to learn from real experiences, connect with others who’ve been in my shoes, and eventually give back once I’ve earned my stripes.
