In 2022, Nicholas Korom sold Patient Rhino, LLC, the digital marketing company he had built from scratch. By his own account it was a multi-7-figure exit, and it put him at a decision point most entrepreneurs describe in hindsight as the moment everything changes. He pivoted to real estate, and within a matter of months had formalized what became My BnB Accelerator.
The move didn’t come from nowhere. Korom had been buying properties since 2019, starting with long-term rentals before gradually shifting his personal acquisitions toward short-term rental properties between 2021 and 2022. By the time the Patient Rhino sale closed, he had accumulated a portfolio of Airbnb-listed properties and formed a specific view of what made acquiring them harder than it should be.
That view became a company.
Building Around a Sourcing Gap
The problem Korom identified is common enough that it holds back a recognizable category of would-be investors. A high-earning professional who wants to own a short-term rental property faces a substantial gap between the interest and the execution. Figuring out which markets allow short-term rentals on terms that support a workable cash flow projection, sorting through enough listings to find properties that actually meet both the financial and regulatory criteria, negotiating with sellers, coordinating a transaction from contract to close, and then identifying local management companies that can run the property without constant owner involvement requires either deep expertise or significant time. Most people in that position lack one or both.
My BnB Accelerator, which Korom registered as an LLC in July 2022 and operates from Denver, Colorado, was structured to close that gap. According to the company, the team reviews around 1,000 properties per week across 30 to 40 markets, eliminating the large majority of them based on cash flow projections or local regulatory concerns. The deals that pass that review, generally in the range of 30 to 40 per month, go to private clients accompanied by detailed income projections and video breakdowns.
From there, the company handles negotiation, transaction coordination, and the vendor introductions that come after closing, including co-hosting companies and property managers familiar with each local market. The client owns the property outright. The firm describes its process as 95% done-for-you.
Korom’s target client is defined specifically: high-income earners making $400,000 or more per year who want to invest in short-term rental real estate and explore structuring options tied to IRS material participation rules. My BnB Accelerator does not provide tax advice, and its terms say so plainly. The firm connects clients to independent CPA firms that specialize in short-term rental tax strategy and to companies offering cost segregation studies. The two functions stay separate by design. The advisory firm sources and closes the property; outside specialists handle the tax side.
California is not a market the firm works in. On its FAQ page, the company explains the position in four words: nothing pencils there.
Operations and Reach
Korom leads a team of 15 full-time staff members and dozens of part-time contractors and specialists, according to the company. Properties the firm has worked with are spread across markets ranging from the Tennessee Smoky Mountains and the Florida Panhandle to the Texas Hill Country, eastern Ohio, and the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. The company reports having supported closing on more than 500 properties for more than 300 clients since its founding, with a repeat client rate Korom puts at 80 percent.
Alongside the private advisory service, Korom runs a community on Skool where deal breakdowns and market analysis from the firm’s weekly pipeline are published for a broader audience. The information shared there reflects the same underwriting process the internal team applies to every deal before it reaches a private client.
Korom holds a BBA from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, where he focused on information technology management and supply chain operations. Early in his career he worked in business development with AIESEC before founding Patient Rhino. He launched My BnB Accelerator in the same year he sold it.
