That is helpful info. It is true that some NPCs may not be accurate with the rental properties….the more details the NPC asks about them, the more likely the numbers are accurate. The rental properties also have to be reported on FAFSA.
Next year FAFSA will not take the number of students in college into account when calculating the EFCs (next year EFC will be called SAI). As thumper mentioned above, we don’t know whether CSS profile schools will still consider multiple students in college when calculating EFC, it’s up to each school how to handle that.
