Schools that ignore home equity

[thumper1]

@dadof4kids

It’s something I am contemplating doing that would potentially really hurt me. That’s what I am trying to avoid. I don’t want to save a few thousand dollars today to pay it back tenfold once D25 starts school.

I’m hoping @blossom sees this comment. Blossom has very sage advice about what to do in these situations.

I will add, your situation sounds more complicated than most as you described above. So a couple of suggestions:

1. Whittle down the list of possible college choices so you don’t have to run 100 NPCs.

2. Have a couple of colleges on the list that offer high probability of merit aid. If your daughter has the stats for acceptance into a meets full need for all college, she likely could garner great merit aid elsewhere. You all need to keep an open mind about this.

3. I hope you are working with an impartial someone to help you sort out the business/personal asset issues you have.
