Inlow managed the listing — launching a company called Be Still Getaways to do so — and split the profits down the middle with her neighbor. After it started making money, the pair teamed up for a second listing. Inlow found another partner for a third rental unit, splitting the profits the same way.

The plan changed when her neighbor agreed to let her list the apartment. She quickly came up with the name "Be Still Getaways," and had a former student design the company's logo.Courtesy of Jamie Inlow When a former middle school classmate reached out asking for Airbnb advice, Inlow said she'd redesign and run the property herself for $10,000. The pair split the profits, and one shared rental unit quickly turned into three.

The investments paid off. In March 2022, Inlow quit her full-time university job. Four months later, she switched from paying herself "whatever was left over" to an annual salary of $72,000, she says.
