After I’m done with school in August, I’m thinking about buying a single family living in it for a year or two and renting out the other rooms.After doing this, I’d like to move out of the single family and keep it as a rental, then repeat with a small multi family (2-4units).Here’s my question: does house-hacking a single family as described above give me landlord experience in the eyes of a lender?

Most rentals are a result of accidental landlords who purchase and have to move before they can sell.
