Appealing FA - Lots of assets with no profit if sold off.

Paying for College

@thumper1 I’m not quite sure.

I think I’ll discuss all of this with my parents first, and then give the school a call. I’m not expecting much (and I guess given how well off we are now, it’s only fair), but we’ll see - if things start to look up after the phone call, hopefully I can make time to visit. Ultimately, I would like to attend this school, but if the FA doesn’t work out, then I’m happy to stay home and complete my tertiary education here. I’ll probably call it quits here - again, cheers to everyone for their advice.

Most schools are quite happy to talk to parents about financial issues. So if your parents have a better handle on the finances have them call.

Why put $2 million in assets on your financial aid form when the net value of the rental properties is zero?
