Sorry Peter, this is going to be a little harsh. If you want good answers, you have to form a good post. This is not a quality post. You need to provide more info.
To take some stabs at this, yes, you can purchase a property as a rental right from the get-go. Alternatively, if you said this was going to be purchased as a primary residence, then rented it out, you won't have been the 1st person in the world to mislead a lender with regards to owner occupancy status, but this strategy has its risks.
To decide between the two options, the following things matter:
your credit
condition of the house
your down payment
if you have a principal residence already
number of units in the house
In short, no one can offer you quality guidance without knowing these things.
