I would hope that would alleviate the concern with my lack of experience managing properties.

I consider Arecibo a place with higher crime and drug use and definitely not as much of an ex-pat presence when compared to cities 45 minutes west or less.

After my father passed from alcohol and drug abuse complications, he triggered debt collectors calling me with aggressively wild threats for a few years!

Many nightmare stories about house next door a drug house, or issues with that location or street that would not be known until you visit

Memphis, TN is on the other hand is very unfriendly to landlords, lots of crime (I've been personally robbed there haha), and lots of gangs and drug use.

Facebook Marketplace is full of drug addicts.I used to find professionals on Craigslist 

They recruit, interview, check references, skills test, criminal background check and drug test. 

I had an extremely similar situation last year, it was a property I was fixing up to sell, the main contractor had some issues (maybe drinking, drug or gambling) and kept asking me for money saying he needed to pay the crew and has been working really hard.

You can see felonies, evictions, drug offenses, etc. by doing that.  

(Gambling, drugs, divorce and lust)
