If you are applying to a school in another state are there state financial forms to fill out similar to the NJ Fam that needs to be done?

[@giulietta707]

We have inherited property, the land our doublewide is on is very low value, as is the mobile home and needs a lot of fixing up. The house that my inlaws lived in, is in a different parcel of the same land; however, it is uninhabitable, it is an old cement block house with no working water. We use it for storage. How do we explain this, as it is apparently worth more at $44,000 with land, than the property we are living in. Thank you for any advice or information you can give!

Hi, we own a three family but we use it as a two family with the grandparents living in one apartment. Do we still have to report it on the FAFSA?

[@edzamoracollegeprepchannel3820]

Just count 1/3 of it

[@davejigs79]

if I donot have emergency funds to show and I have no savings on my financial aid forms , how will that affect my need aware and need based admissions aswell my financial aid award as an international student.

[@andywinner2835]

Great video! Here’s a scenario I’m wondering…What if my primary house is paid off and I buy another home in another state where I will have a 15-30 year mortgage. Would this affect the amount of financial aid we could be eligible for?

[@velymejia]

Do you count the home in the Fafsa if your on title as equal part owner but not on the loan. I am a parent my daughter is a senior in Southern California. Thanks

[@edzamoracollegeprepchannel3820]

You do not count the primary home on the fafsa

[@velymejia]

@@edzamoracollegeprepchannel3820 Thank You for all your helpful information.

[@ChikQuintans]

This is a great resource! Thank you. I have a question on investment property. I understand calculating net worth of the property by taking value - mortgage debt = net value. What tool or index do we use to determine the "value" of the home. Do we go by the State Tax Assessor's value, Zillow, Redfin, or other?

[@edzamoracollegeprepchannel3820]

Good question there used to be a guide available on finaid.org but that no longer exists. I would suggest taking the Zillow value from a year ago since it seems all prices have gone up well higher than the real sellable number.

[@lailaperez5709]

Hi, we have three rental houses, we’re paying mortgage on all three, how do I calculate what to write in the assets section, thank you

[@naureensajid2007]

Is percentage deducted from FA is per year or on the whole programme of 4 year in case of bachelor's degree

[@donjohn924]

Thank you for the video! It's very informative! We have a primary residence which we just got(mortgage), and a few dirt cheap investment properties also on mortgage(25% down). All together I'd say we have less than 800k equity (market value minus mortgage balance). Do we have to report all of that 800k equity on CSS profile? Thanks.

[@lenspicks]

Very informative What if I put my rental home in a trust fund for my younger son which this will be his home when he comes of age Thanks any extra info would help

[@prabuddhaghosh7022]

A question regarding housing. If parents currently rent and have no assets outside of Roth IRA , does it make sense to take money out of Roth for Downpayment and buy housing near the campus in the students name. Housing in the dorm is very expensive. Financially it would make sense to take a mortgage and rent out the other rooms to other college students. Only question is from the financial aid eligibility perspective is should the house be bought in the students name or the parents name (parents are retired so from mortgage eligibility point of view student and parents are in the same boat).

[@DMS20231]

I would not raid a Roth to buy property. Buying property is a fine idea though. I have a rental I might 1031 exchange into a property where my daughter will go to school precisely to rent rooms to other girls.

[@naureensajid2007]

56000 a year or for the full programme? Is it the same for international students?

[@kiml9840]

If we currently rent a home, but just bought a home that we will move into next year, how do I report this? We do not rent the home we just bought. Thank you!

[@edzamoracollegeprepchannel3820]

Don't count the house you just bought on the Fafsa. Thank you for watching and helping the scholarship fund.

[@Truth_motivate0]

Thank you for the informational video, I was wondering what the scenario would be if a student who will be an incoming freshman purchases a house under their name but is dependent on their family. They would only have to file FAFSA in their state and seems to have a low EFC.

[@liviac2059]

Hello, Thank you for the video, we own a Lot (land) do we have to report it on FAFSA?

[@edzamoracollegeprepchannel3820]

Yes if it's not the primary property

Do you know what is the maximum income which qualifies fafsa with a family of 3? Thank you

[@Raj-qc2fz]

Hi, I submitted my FASFA a month back. Now recently I have paid off 35% of my mortgage using savings reported in my initial FAFSA submission. Should I now update the FAFSA with my reduces savings? is it legal to do so? pls, advice. Thank you.

[@timandarmi]

Hello, thanks for this video. Is there a particular correct way to determine property value (for an investment property) for the FAFSA? I've read using the "quick sale value", comparable sales, and even tax assessments. But those values are all very different.

[@edzamoracollegeprepchannel3820]

Quick sale for second properties.

What if you live overseas in a home rented, but have a home that you own in the US and are renting that one out. But that is still just one property.

[@juanbarroso8423]

If I bought a house and lived there under my name would it still affect me since I don’t live with my parents?

[@BandHSF]

Hi, thanks for the info. If you have a duplex or rental property is there any reason to fill out the state forms if you are staying in state?

[@edzamoracollegeprepchannel3820]

Yes fill them out.

Hi My husband's company closed down druing the pandemic. We rent out our property then moved to other state. Since his job is not stable we rent a house in the new place. Will our rental home a investment property? Thanks

[@edzamoracollegeprepchannel3820]

The rental property will count as an asset.

Hello! Your videos have been a great help! I have a small piece of land & may borrow against my home to build a small house. Am I able to allocate the 60k borrowed against my primary residence (cash out refi) to reduce the value of this secondary real estate asset? Example: home/land value would be 80k, but borrowed 60k. In reality I only have 20k equity. Is this possible with documentation? Thank you.

[@cindylee2061]

What if rental house has no more mortgage, do you put the market value or the value from the property tax?

[@edzamoracollegeprepchannel3820]

You would have to put the market value

then you will not have to worry about the affect on fafsa aid

[@swetaagrawal3097]

@@edzamoracollegeprepchannel3820 my concern is that if your home is not taken into consideration then the people with no house but money in bank account will be at a loss as they have to provide their assets details. It would be beneficial to go and buy a house rather keep money in the bank as house is not accounted for in fafsa.
