Looking to finance a self employed person with significant down

Where should I look for good candidate to finance? Ideas?

I have bought and sold many properties over the years using craigslist and fsbo sites, however, for this deal I had the bright idea that maybe I do not need to actually buy the property, but maybe there is someone who has already found a good property, has a good self employment situation going so repayment is not an issue, but cannot qualify for bank financing.  From a social perspective, I would like to help a millenial buy their first home, especially in a rural area or small town in New Mexico.  Am looking to help fund my retirement so am not looking short term particularly.

The loan can be up to 15 years with a 25 percent down payment and must be the only loan on the property.  Need to see and have appraisal on home, prefer New Mexico or Arizona properties, but would consider other states.  Rate is negotiable, but fair and will use a title or escrow company for payments and paperwork.

Suggestions?  Pitfalls to watch out for...

@Account Closed I read your comment about your friend who does seller finance. I am from El Paso, Tx but I own a rental property in Las Cruces, NM and would like to purchase another property here soon but I know I will now qualify for a conventional loan. This seems like a great option. I would like to get in touch with you.  Thank You
