Anyone owns OMG category?

I am expanding to more specialized Airbnb this year. I think one of my projects will get some local spotlights but wondering what the criteria for is getting OMG category. Has anyone here successfully received the category?

Hey @Joel Oh so Ellensburg is in central WA state. It is quite rural and it is much easier to get a permit for these sorts of things if you even need one.

In rural Idaho, it is much the same way. the counties have minimum requirements and if you keep things on the up and up, it should be fine.

Now, in a historical district, that is a different animal all together. Unless you want to live in that district, I would avoid any and all purchases in an area like that.

Regarding the grain silos itself, those are not the full grain silos you think off like a tower silo. These are grain bins which are much wider and used for holding fully dried grain storage.

They are available as kits. You simply stack and bolt together the rings to the height you want. Pretty easy actually, especially with a tractor with forks bolted to the front end loader. It is hard work but a small team can build them pretty quick.


 That is so cool! Never knew they sell silos like that but it makes sense since not everyone needs a gigantic tower. The house I regret most for not getting it is this one,

I was so close to getting it, but I chickened out because I have absolutely no idea how these houses even exist. With some additions, this would qualify for the OMG category, but I think they didn't have that category back then when it was on the market.
