How bad is the crime in Albuquerque?

[Samir Shah]

I'm a new investor looking for a STR/MT property in Albuquerque. Specifically, in the Quigley Park/Uptown/Snow Heights area. Definitely looking to stay away from the war zone and above the 40. But after examining various crime reports, I'm skeptical to move forward. I'm seeing that property crime is pretty high and since I'm an out of state investor, I would have a hard time keeping an eye on the ground besides cleaners/handymen between stays.

From the opinion of you all who live or invest near the Uptown area, is the crime really that bad? What do you all think?
