DTI Issue. How to convince a bank to do a loan?

Can I convince banks/credit unions to use boarder income?

goals and story:
I want to house hack a large house (5000sqft) on the beach (Bay Area,California).
I found a great place. I would move in part of it (1500sqft), and rent the rest out on airbnb (3500sqft).
The rents will easily pay for the mortgage and then some.

If I were to count the future rental income (even very conservatively), my DTI would be ~20%.

However, banks do not count STR income towards my DTI on the mortgage application (they count it as boarder income, aka $0). Since they only use my W2, my DTI is way too high (65%).

What kind of products/banks could be willing to do this?


Type of property:
Single family home
Location of property:
Bay Area, California
Purpose of financing:
purchase
Type of financing sought:
Any. APR <4.5%.
Current or prior ownership of real estate:
own 1 house. currently on short term rental as well.
Occupancy
: owner occupied (1500sqft) with short term rental for the remaining (3500sqft)
Value of property at present and/or your offer price:
$4,000,000
Anticipated or actual appraisal issues
: no
Current rents per month:
$25k
Fair market rents per month
: $30k
Down payment or equity:
I have $1m in the bank to put towards downpayment. More saved for reserves.
Source of down payment funds:
own funds
Income Source:
Salaried/hourly W2. This would not be enough to qualify for the full mortgage (DTI would be through the roof).
FICO:
Excellent. 800+
Credit issues:
None.
