Rent by the Room - Still possible after you move out?

I've read and heard a lot about renting out a SFR by-the-room after you've satisfied your occupancy term on a househack. I'm interested in hearing how others this is done well (preferably in the Denver Metro), and how they've managed to count the income towards their DTI. As I understand it, lenders can only accept whole-unit lease contracts, not individual rooms, to count towards your DTI.

@John Mayer i completely agree with @Dan Mackin. there was a short period a few years ago where i took a bit of time to find a lender that was okay with rent by the room but i found a few and it certainly seems like they have lightened up lately. as you know, happy to help with anything rent by the room (or otherwise)!
