I suggest you check out some income calculators to see just how much more you'd have to make in HI just to even out. Yeah, there's roaches, but there's also geckos that freak some people out.

That was my other worry I heard about the lizards we had those in FLorida and the Roaches too.


My husband is in HI now and calculated all that if he moved there the potential income on the low end would be 50 thousand a month. so the money isnt the problem I dunno what about tsunami's and being stuck on the island and not being able to hop in my car and drive to cali to see my folks stuff like that.

50 thousand a month??? That would be nice. I'm assuming you meant year, though, of course.

I say get one of those amphibious tanks then you can just drive through the ocean.

No a month, I told him it sounds to good to be true, but they keep punching the numbers and keep coming to that for his part, but the husband does not like HI and would not want to live there UNLESS he is making enough money to be worth it so he wouldnt move there unless the contracts were signed,

But I do know the business and in WA in the summer months when little rain he makes 10 g's a month just him no employees, well in HI they would run a shop and have 16 employees well if you don't know the business its harsd to explain but still 50 sounds a little to much but that is what they got on 25 cars a day which is the low end the high end was over 100 g's a month.


He is gonna research it more why he is there.

I've been on Oahu, Maui, and the big island. I can't say this enough:

1. It's jaw-droppingly beautiful there. ALMOST everyone who goes there does not want to come back.

2. It is EXTREMELY expensive to live there (usually the second highest CPI in the USA). I don't care HOW much your husband will make. Housing prices are crazy (because it's a tourist spot and real-estate speculation has driven up prices more than in the states), food prices are crazy, and the income you will be making is speculative, not guaranteed.

3. Would you be grossing $50K a month in sales or netting $50K a month in revenue? That is a huge distinction. Even if it's net income, Hawaii is a pretty liberal state. There will be higher costs to your husband and his partner for property insurance, unemployment insurance and health insurance (assuming you are offering it) for employees. In a sea climate any equipment will age faster and have to be amortized faster.

4. People tend to get island fever. The big island is the only big island, and it takes about 90 minutes to drive from one side to the other on a winding highway. After a while, living on a small space like that could get old.

He doesnt sell anything Issac But that would be 50g's after all costs that would be what he gets to keep I think doesnt include taxes though but that is after paying everyone else and stuff. His buddy already lives there and runs a shop so they have info there already on all that stuff.

And most likely we would rent not buy cause for a house the size we have now is about a million dollars from what I could look up on that island. We would be living on Oahu in pearl cisy if it were to happen and if we did it since the husband does not like it there and does not want to live there it would only be for a few yearsBasically to build a huge saving and own eveyrthing outright and have enough to buy a house outright in CO when we move and anything else we have.

So on and so forth.

They are still crunching and recrunching numbers double checking things and looking into contracts and all that.

He doesn't sell anything? Do you mean he doesn't sell a product, like equipment? Does he sell a service that involves equipment? That's one of the things I mean.

Also, to make a 10% before-tax profit for just himself (and assuming the same for his partner) that gets him $50K a month, he would have to be doing $1,000,000 a month in sales. $12 million annually. Those are the kinds of numbers he is talking about? And the $50K a month is after paying employees, health/unemployment insurance, taxes, COGS? If the profit is higher, what is his profit on these services?
