Dear #2 property owner

Thank you for your reply.
I am uninformed and don't understand something, but if the real estate agent intended to make it automatically month-to-month from the beginning, it may be the normal practice to leave the tenant without asking anything about the contract, but I am confused as to the intention of the real estate agent staff in charge to ask us, the tenants, if we want to renew. I am confused because I do not understand the intention of the staff of the real estate company in charge of the lease to ask us, the tenants, if we want to renew the lease. If the tenant responds that they will renew, does that mean that the real estate agent is not obligated to draw up a contract ？?

After the initial contract ends, there is no obligation to sign another contract, as it is automatically renewed. Kanaina's intention was to renew the contract, but she probably forgot to do so, so she was urged by the landlord to do so, or perhaps the current price increase is more advantageous, but she probably talked about renewing the contract again. Kanaina's point of view is that she is paying the real estate agent, but the real estate agent's customer is the landlord （, who receives a management fee ＆, and a contract renewal fee ）.

Isn't there a type of insurance that doesn't have a regular family doctor, a type of insurance that has a set in-network intent ？
My insurance has a family doctor （ family doctor ） who gives me a referral to see a specialist in the network.
If you have a family doctor, you can see him or her. If you have a family doctor, it would be better to ask him or her.
The deductible depends on the type of insurance you have, and how much you have paid or are paying depends on the type of insurance you have.
By the way, I think my insurance was only CO-PAY. When I saw a specialist before, he took x-rays and did some tests
but that's all I paid.

If you go out of network, you may not be able to use your insurance, or if you do, the coverage may be different.

There are various specialties of orthopedics, such as hand, finger, and joint specialists,
and extremity specialists.
Incidentally, I had an x-ray ordered by my doctor,
and was referred to an orthopedic surgeon after seeing the results.

I have never had an MRI, but

The co-pay for the x-ray was CO-PAY only
The CT was done with contrast, $ I remember paying almost 100.

I'm traveling to Japan in June and have no criminal record so I'm not that concerned about re-entry, but I have some points ？. I heard.
All I had to say about that was have a good trip, so I think I'll be ok. But as a countermeasure, I'm going to carry a printed copy of my lawyer's or Hawaii friend's contact information. That way, even if the worst happens and my cell phone is confiscated, I can still contact them.

I used to work at an airport. I have seen many cases, such as being sent to a different room or being refused entry. Among those cases, the most common is that of women entering the country alone. This is because of the recent increase in × spring and × mundane relationships among Japanese women in the U.S. In the past, Japanese were not eligible for this program. In the past, Japanese were not eligible, but I guess the times have changed.

There are people who write "tourist visa OK" on their job ads and recruit waitresses. In fact, there are quite a few people who return to Japan after earning money on a 90-day stay （ mainly working at night ）. Also, they come to see their boyfriends or fiancées, which is also ×. This is because of the fake × marriage.

So I don't know how long you have been getting your green card, but if it is early days, it is best not to move.

First of all, please be careful what you wear. Short skirts, flashy accessories, and heavy makeup are × a no-no. You don't have to explain why. Secondly, don't be too imposing in front of the immigration inspectors. The immigration inspector is a professional who looks at people's eyes and facial expressions. If you look intimidated, you are out. If you are not good at this, it is better to get citizenship instead of coming and going with a green card. You will be anxious and nervous, and the long flight will be a hell of a time, and most importantly, if the examiner says no, you will not be able to enter the country no matter how many lawyers you bring or whatever.

Incidentally, if you have an American passport, the treatment is surprisingly different
. Often it takes less than 10 seconds
to pass through immigration.

Example ）
Examination officer "Hi, where did you stay?"
American citizen "Japan"
Examination officer smiles, stamps your entry and says "Have a nice day"

Green card It's so different from the other room in the

Especially now, with Trump's "America First", it will be more so. In other words, I don't like people who just have a green card and take advantage of the US. There is a problem in Japan with foreigners receiving welfare benefits, isn't there? For America, we want people who can buy gold cards （ 700 million yen ） and people who are rich and positive for America to come here.

At Japanese immigration, they will also stamp your passport only if you wish
(Narita Airport is also ߋ) As of April 2025

If you do not have this stamp in your Japanese passport, you cannot get duty free in Japan.

Please remember to get the stamp when you make purchases over 5,000 yen at places that offer tax exemption.

I know you don't understand what Topi means at all, because you don't understand Middle and Average either.

it's just a data graph of the middle class in 2025,

Annual middle class income in Hawaii in 2025 depends on several studies and definitions.
Here are data from several sources.

SmartAsset (survey for 2025):

Annual Income Range: approx $ 63,542 ～ $ 190,644
Visual Capitalist (based on SmartAsset data )}:

Annual Income Range: $ 63,542 ～ $ 190,644
Newsweek (based on SmartAsset data):

Annual Income Range: $ 63,542 $ 190,644
These studies define the middle class range as "two-thirds to twice the state median household income."
Given Hawaii's high cost of living, the middle class income range is also high.

I had a $250,000 annual income when I lived in NY and never felt like a high income earner.
Now I've lived in Hawaii for 10 years and only make $150,000 a year, but it's a lot easier there.

What I think makes the difference is that property taxes and HOAs are incredibly cheap in Hawaii.

Ten years ago in NY, we paid $25,000/year in property taxes and $2,400/month in HOA fees (not including electricity, gas, and telecom ）.
Monthly payment of approximately $4,500

Currently in Hawaii, annual property tax of $1,200 and HOA Fee of $1,400 per month(Electricity、Gas、Communications included ）.
Monthly payment of $1,500

Taxes and HOA can go up but not down, so this is a big difference.

New Jersey and Massachusetts seem to be in the same building
I used to live in NJ and the cost of living was definitely cheaper.

Property Taxes are not as high as in some places where school taxes are tens of thousands of dollars at the school district level,
Gasoline was cheaper, groceries (except luxury items ） Clothing and shoes are tax free and NJ was easy to live in.
NJ has different sales tax rates for different counties, so I sometimes went to the city with the lowest sales tax to buy electrical appliances.

NYC has a city tax, so many people lived in NJ and commuted to NYC.

NJ was nice,,

Since school taxes make up a large percentage of property taxes,
Hawaii may be best taxed without school taxes.

Kakaako has a large percentage of out-of-state residents, so the legislature is considering whether to introduce a school tax.

I was not aware that preschool in Waialae is limited or preferential to low-income students, so I contacted the school.
However, the latest information is that the only age requirement is （ to be 3 or 4 years old by 7/30/2025 ） and that you do not have to be low income to apply, but they are not currently accepting applications for this August.
They say that if you enroll at age 3, you can go straight up to the 4-year-old class, and there is no other preferential treatment.

I was also told that you can search the link below for public preschools that give priority for admission if you meet certain criteria, including low income, and I hope this will be helpful to someone.

My daughter also attends Public.
Well, we are low-income when we send her to Public, we are.
If your annual household income $ is less than 130,000, they say you are low-income, and …
when we send her to Public school, we are considered low-income.
In the Kahala area, all the wealthy families definitely send their kids to Private. It's no surprise that the academic level is different, whether it's expensive or free.

Mr. Tanuki
We also sent our children to Wai'alae, so it makes me sick to be assumed to have a low quality ・ of life at home. It is rude.
The friends that my son had were working in educational institutions, lawyers, and other decent people. It may sound a bit condescending, but there were many families who owned their own houses. I don't know if there were any low-income children. As others have said, preschool kids are given preferential treatment, and they don't all go straight up to Kinder. If they are not out of the school district, they will be offered GE and if they pass, they will continue to attend Kinder.

I think Tanuki just doesn't know the reality of the situation, though.

As Maya-san advised, there are not many companies that offer visa support,
so your first priority would be to find one that does.

You can also apply for the green card lottery, investor visa, etc.
Some people are self-employed and move to Hawaii.

Students and tourists cannot work and earn money, so the first step is to find a visa
for an environment where you can live.

It seems that the government is dividing the wealthy (Market Price) and the common people (Affordable) in the same condominium in order to prevent the deterioration of public safety. The lower floors may be Affordable.

Affordable units can be bought for about $250,000 less depending on the property, but some of them do not have access to a gym.

Since Corona, many investors and remote workers have moved to Hawaii, and
single-family homes have skyrocketed. Condos have also gone up.

Hawaii is an island, so I think of it as comfortable country living.
It cannot be compared to a Japanese place. It is totally different from Japan.
