The FAA has always interpreted the regulations as prohibiting any commercial use of homebuilt aircraft. The FAA is allowed to issue waivers to allow renting homebuilts for transitional training, but even that's an iffy prospect. Unless you can point to something official that allows leasing the aircraft, they'll consider commercial use as outside the rules.
