I want to buy a home for retirement, but rent it out for a few years before I retire.

As with post by Dave, you can only finance/borrow 75% of the purchase price of the property.  Mortgage interest rate may be a higher (also depends on your personal credit) than the same for an owner occupied, primary residence transaction.

Good luck with being a Landlord!

should be fine as long as you qualify

down payment for best rates should be 25% of purchase price

rates / fees are a bit higher than for  Owner occupied loans
