I don’t understand how everyone is resentful of a family trying to send their kid to the best school he can get into and present the most advantageous possible financial case.
We’re not wealthy, I guarantee our standard of living is lower than most of you, how many of you live in 1200 sq ft?
This IS the way the game is supposed to be played, not hobbling yourself at the start with naïve suppositions of how property is valued in the business world and defending the indefensible.

I’m not resentful at all. I don’t think many/any are here. If somehow your son’s schools do something that they haven’t done in the past and award you lots of aid, then SUPER!!!
BUT…We’re trying to tell you that CSS Profiles are likely going to assess your properties at an amount that you’re not going to like, and therefore you’re likely not going to get the aid you want.
Now…please tell us…what will you do in the spring if all of your son’s schools expect you to pay a lot more than you want to?
Will you “suck it up” and pay?
Will you sadly tell your son that the schools aren’t affordable and since he doesn’t have financial safeties he’ll have to go to his local CC?
What is the max amount that you’ll pay EACH year towards college?
Does your son have at least 3 financial safeties on his list? These would be schools that you know FOR SURE that you can afford because of ASSURED merit and/or low cost??
