Am I Completely Screwed? (CSS Profile and Business Income)

@sylvan8798 what I mean…should need based aid be given if a family has significant business assets…but they are not willing or able to sell them? Should need based monies be awarded to help families keep businesses?

As an example…there was a family here who owned a LOT of rental properties worth millions of dollars. They felt the equity in those should be excluded from the financial aid calculation. It’s not. My feeling is that need based financial aid should not be awarded so that families can maintain ownership of assets.
