Navy wife turns into entrepreneur
Sat, Aug 25, 2007
By HALEY HUGHES Staff Writer
For Alecia Hardt, a military wife and Aiken native, working from
home was the only solution to the challenge of finding employment.
Her husband, a Navy lieutenant and an Aiken native, is the
operations officer and navigator on the USS Chicago, a fast track
submarine that is currently deployed with the Pacific Submarine Fleet.
Alecia, her husband Chad and 4-year-old son Will move every two
years on average so she knew it would be too hard to hold down a
conventional desk job. The family currently lives in Ewa Beach, Hawaii,
having lived in five different states since Chad received his
commission 10 years ago. Chad is stationed at Pearl Harbor.
Starting a website to sell customized, unique gifts was Hardt's only real option.
"I wanted something more for myself," Hardt said who has been in
Aiken visiting friends and family. "This is right up my alley. If
you're doing a website, it doesn't matter where you are."

Rental vs. personal property use Dear Tax Talk:
I am in the process of purchasing a second home for our two sons who attend college. We are considering renting out two of the rooms to other students. Would it be better to keep the house solely for the purposes of our sons, thus being able to deduct the full interest, or claim it fully as a rental property, taking the depreciation and upkeep deductions? Or would it qualify as a part personal use, part rental property whereby we could deduct some of the mortgage interest and also some of the depreciation and upkeep?
