I would suggest putting the property in your name. Parent assets are assessed at 5.6% for FAFSA purposes. Student assets are assessed at 20%.

But really, for FAFSA purposes, this isn’t going to net you more federally funded grant aid, because at your income level, your child wouldn’t likely qualify for federally funded grant money.

But still…I would get that property onto the parent name.
