You may get most useful ideas if you post your question under the forum for your state, or under the Real Estate/Renting forum. Those members posting about your state of residence may have LOCAL suggestions. The Renting forum members may have suggestions for how to deal with your past history.

Oh, and BTW, you need to write your question out a little more carefully. Not using punctuation made your OP very hard to read. Many people won't even bother to try. Good luck!

Are you sure that's the ONLY thing "holding you down"? Perhaps it could also be your lack of being able to communicate clearly with the English language and/or other problems.

By the way, have you heard of the song "Albuquerque" by Weird Al Yankovic? Good song! Check it out if you get a chance...

You should post this in the Albuquerque forum. You can also search the Albuquerque forum -- there have been posts related to yours in the recent past that should give you a good place to start.

This website has some general suggestions: https://helpforfelons.org/felon-frie...nts-housing-1/ They mention Craigslist, which a family member of mine had some luck with (in Florida, not NM). I hope things work out for you!

In NM whether your considered a "violent" or "non violent" felon makes a huge difference regarding your eligibility to be a renter. If your 'non violent' then you cannot be turned away due to that alone. I suggest you determine where you stand on that and go from there.
