"If I wouldn't have kept my two jobs, I could never have scaled my business," Inlow tells CNBC Make It. Until last summer, Inlow kept her full-time job while growing Be Still Getaways as a side hustle - working upwards of 80 hours per week, sometimes with her toddler physically strapped to her chest, she says. It brought in an additional $600,000 on a third platform, Hostify, Inlow estimates. The company brought in $2.28 million last year on Airbnb and rental platform Eviivo, according to documents reviewed by CNBC Make It. Today, Be Still Getaways runs 119 vacation rentals in Virginia. Inlow found another partner for a third rental unit, splitting the profits the same way. After it started making money, the pair teamed up for a second listing. Inlow managed the listing - launching a company called Be Still Getaways to do so - and split the profits down the middle with her neighbor. The neighbor wasn't keen on running a rental himself, so Inlow went home, drafted a business plan and made him a proposition: If you give me $2,000, I'll furnish the apartment using Facebook Marketplace and list it for short-term rentals on Airbnb.
