Leasing a room to my own company

I recently read an article on Biggerpockets about getting the experience of being a landlord for 2 years and being able to find lenders much easier afterwards. 

My wife and I bought a house in 2014. Meanwhile we opened a small business operating at home. The question is: in order to build the 2-year experience as landlords, is it possible to rent a room in our house to our company (LLC, or INC) and count that as rental income on our tax returns? Would lenders possibly object? After all, the company is making money and is a separate legal entity.

Please advise. Your insights are greatly appreciated!
