Best place to get a home loan with bad credit?

I am looking for a return on rent. I pay over $1000 for a place to live anyways, but do have a few problems with my credit. Where is a good place to try for a loan, I don’t want my credit looked at sooo many times. I know of other people with bad credit say they get a loan. Any ideas? Nobody here really owner finance b/c plenty of people looking to buy.
