Regarding popcorn sealing

I was thinking of moving and looking at condo listings in central Waikiki.

When I came to Hawaii, I didn't know about it and lived there, but
along the way, a friend told me about it and informed me of the dangers of popcorn sealing.
They said it was a ceiling treatment that contained asbestos, and that if you touched it in any way, or on a dry day, the powder would fly around and if you inhaled it, you would get lung cancer.

The room we looked at this time had a popcorn ceiling, but
the owner was trying to rent it without explaining that at all, so we are not going to rent it.

Many of the condos in Waikiki have popcorn ceilings, so if you are going to rent a condo, I would recommend that you find a place with a clean ceiling and sign a contract to avoid health hazards.

Car Lease or Purchase

I am considering leasing a car.
A friend of mine recently told me that he signed a lease on a Toyota Rav4 for about $ 300 per month after negotiating. I'd like to lease a car myself based on this, but I'm not sure if this amount is reasonable ？
I've thought about buying a used car, but which do you guys prefer if you lease or buy ？
preferably Toyota or Honda? I want a car that is as cheap and safe as possible. ......

What year is that lease ？
Your monthly payment will vary depending on your credit history
You won't get the amount unless you go in person
A company can expense the lease
Lease has a cap on miles.
Lease has mileage cap, if you exceed it, you will be penalized
Lease is expensive for insurance
If you like to change new car every few years, lease
In terms of total money difference, it is usually cheaper to buy and drive for 10 years than lease
If you want to buy a new car, it is cheaper to buy a new car and drive for 10 years than lease If you want to buy a new car, you need to buy a new one. I would choose to lease a used car if it's budget friendly
If it's a new and expensive car, I would choose to buy it because it can be depreciated over time
Leasing a Prius is probably cheaper every month ？ I would choose to lease a used car if it's budget friendly I would choose to lease a used car if it's budget friendly

I lease a luxury car myself.
The reason is that I always want to drive a newer model, and since a luxury car is more expensive to repair, it is convenient for me to change cars in 2-3 years. I also have a business, so I can write it off as an expense.

But if cheap and safety is your first requirement, why don't you go for a new used Japanese car ？ The choice of models and colors is limited, but you can buy a nearly new car at a low price and you don't have to worry about accidents.

I can only find you all, if I may say so, Mr. Baikin.

Moreover, the entire ceiling of the apartment is not Mr. Baikin's fault ？ I don't know how it happened.

・ Negative certificate required （ Follow the format ）
・ upon entry Install an app on your phone
・ Affidavit, etc.

Even for connecting flights, it seems that you have to be inspected within 72 hours of entering Japan, which is very difficult. If you don't have a smartphone, you have to rent one at your own expense, and each person over 13 years old needs one smartphone, so you need to be prepared.

Working on an F1 Visa and Withholding Taxes

I came to the U.S. in September 2020 and am attending a language school 4 days a week, 4 hours a day.
My part-time employer has asked me to fill out Form W4.
Will filling out this form affect my F1 visa in any way or have any negative impact on my future visa status (permanent residence)
?
I just started working, about 18 hours a week.
If there is a problem, I would like to discuss it with my employer and deal with it.
I am looking forward to hearing from anyone who knows more about this.

I am looking for someone to purchase a vintage fan from an antique store in Dallas and ship it to Japan on my behalf.
I asked the store to ship the fan to Japan, but they said they could not do so.
I really want to buy this fan, so I am waiting to hear from someone who can handle it.

We are thinking of paying around $ 100 for the person who responds.
The size of the fan would be about 58" tall and 30lb in weight.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
