Nicholas Korom was watching real estate closely while he was still running a marketing agency.
Patient Rhino, the company he had built to help med spas and aesthetic clinics fill their appointment books through digital advertising, was performing well by 2021. Korom had started buying properties in 2019, beginning with long-term rentals, and found himself spending an increasing amount of time on what had initially been a side project. In 2022, he sold Patient Rhino for what he describes as a multi-seven-figure return and shifted his focus entirely.
The decision to concentrate on short-term rentals rather than long-term ones came from direct comparison. Long-term rentals generate income but occupy a restricted position under the passive activity loss rules for high-income earners: those losses are generally suspended rather than immediately usable. Short-term rentals sit differently under the tax code. Properties with an average guest stay of seven days or fewer can qualify owners to apply losses from accelerated depreciation against ordinary income, provided they meet the IRS material participation standard. That threshold requires a minimum of 100 hours of annual involvement and more participation than any other single individual connected to the same property.
My BnB Accelerator does not provide tax advice, a point the company states explicitly in its legal terms. Its role is to locate and negotiate the properties, then connect clients to CPA firms that specialize in short-term rental tax strategy. Korom’s stated premise is that finding the right property is where most buyers run into trouble, not in the structuring that follows.
The filtering process is the core of what the company does. By the firm’s own account, the sourcing team evaluates roughly 1,000 potential deals each week. Ninety-eight percent do not advance. Properties are cut because the projected income does not hold up under scrutiny, or because the regulatory environment in that market has shifted. A number of cities have introduced licensing requirements, registration caps, or outright restrictions on short-term rentals in recent years, and those markets exit the viable pool.
California is one the firm explicitly excludes, citing local conditions that make the financial projections unworkable. Recent deals the company has presented to clients include properties in Tennessee, Florida, Texas, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Oklahoma.
What clears the filter goes to clients. Korom’s team negotiates on behalf of the buyer and manages the transaction through closing. After that, My BnB Accelerator connects the new owner with a co-hosting company, the short-term rental equivalent of a property manager, and with vendors equipped to run cost segregation studies. The client owns the property.
The service does not extend to ongoing operations. My BnB Accelerator does not handle guest communication, nightly pricing, or maintenance once a property is running. Those responsibilities move to the co-hosting company. That division reflects who the firm is built for. Korom describes his typical client as a high-income W-2 earner who arrived at short-term rental ownership through an interest in the tax treatment, not through looking for a new business to operate on the side.
The company employs roughly 15 full-time staff and a larger group of contractors, including property sourcing specialists covering multiple states. Korom’s title is CAO, for Chief Accelerating Officer.
The metric My BnB Accelerator cites most often as evidence of client satisfaction is the repeat purchase rate. The firm reports that around 80 percent of clients have returned for a second deal or more, and that the average gap between a first closing and a second runs under 10 months. Both figures are the firm’s own account and have not been independently verified.
My BnB Accelerator is registered in Montana and operates out of Denver, Colorado. By the company’s own count, it has supported more than 500 property closings for more than 300 clients since Korom built the current service.
