My wife and I own it together, but i may be able to buy her out and keep it as a short-term rental without spending all my personal capital.I’m looking for advice on financing options, buyout strategies, and any creative solutions others have used in similar situations.

Hi Kanaam,To start, focus on financing—U.S. lenders may require higher down payments (often 25-35%) for foreign investors.

If you're willing and able, I do recommend the "house hacking" strategy which is just a fancy name for buying a rental property and living in one of the units, because you'll get very favorable financing - an owner-occupied fixed-rate 30-year mortgage.I'd also say, analyze that property as if you won't live there and it's a pure rental, and make sure the property is still cash flow positive if there's a tenant in your unit because then you'll know if it's actually a good investment.And when you analyze it, include payment of a property manager in your #s because if you don't, and doing so would make it go cash flow negative, then you've just bought yourself a job because you literally can't step away from managing it without losing money.

If you can get "boots on the ground" to go look at the state that the property is in for you, then yes go for it.

For example, your tenant will change their cat's environment by moving to your apartment.

For instance I did it on one of my one bed room apartments because this particular apartment had a formal dining room.what’s a single person or couple going to need a formal dining room for?  

@Michelle Dong hopefully you haven't gone and spent thousands on a "guru" program for S8!

Your market is expensive, I wouldn't look for normal working class people as your target customers.

This keeps things safe and makes it easy for contractors to get in without you playing doorman all day.🔹 Step 2: Get Your PermitsNobody likes dealing with permits, but skipping them can mean big fines and major delays.

Thanks for any advice.
