I would think the only way is if you buy a duplex through quad, live in one unit and rent the others. If you buy a single family through FHA, you'll need to live in it as owner-occupied for at least a year.

Lynn M. Is correct you would have to live in one unit of a duplex-quad. As for where to go you'll have to call around to banks and see who offers FHA. In my experience I couldn't get one through my credit union but a local bank was able to do it for me. With the credit again you'll have to call your banks and see what they can do to help.
