There are two options I have offered and I want to get a check on here if I am off base with my offer or if I need to push harder.

They do offer access to mutual funds, but I do not love this option.

Credit is a factor as bad credit may limit options, or may have the lender require you to put 10 or 20 years of taxes and insurance into escrow. 

Hello, Starting to research about STR options/opportunities in Mexico (as a Canadian living in Canada).

I am weighing some options to help my younger brother buying his first primary with a fixer.

You aren’t owners with lease options.

Another option could be a home equity line of credit (HELOC) if you have enough equity in your primary or second home.

It really depends on your comfort level and long-term goals, but even if you want to get into multifamily long-term, SFR may be the best option to gain some comfortability.

We are wondering what would be the best option to do with the property during this 6-7 month period, whether that be Airbnb or what other short term rental options might there be that could make more sense?

Some/many lenders don't like a 2nd mortgage behind their first (like the skin in the game), however there are both bridge or permanent financing options out there allowing you to leverage anywhere from 90% CLTV - 100% CLTV, but don't expect good terms...
