You can’t.Once you start building out a portfolio, you could revisit the idea or just buy a nice vacation rental and then self manage. 

Make it a vacation or a trip and be the boots on the ground yourself. 

She will be vacating her unit end of September, and now I need to find a replacement.

I'm currently looking to invest in a home as a short-term/vacation rental property.

I am of the opinion the trying to do vacation rentals is no longer the best way to monetize a property.

Unless you're wanting to get a high end multi family property (think estate with a carriage house or luxury building where you reside in the penthouse) or start a vacation rental or air bnb business, you're going to find that infrequent stay's there will be more hindrance than anything.Properties that make good primary residences do not always make good efficient rentals. 

When I checked some vacation rentals sites I saw lots of the homes were indeed booked.

I built about two dozen vacation rental houses.

I went back for a vacation and saw that they have a nice big beautiful road leading into it so traffic should be less obnoxious.

I bet in 10 years we could sell the place and come close to doubling our money plus have a great place to vacation in the meantime.
