Adding Living Expenses
The living expense categories match what can be found in Apply Online. You can allocate an expense to a specific applicant or apply ownership in the same way you can from Apply Online.
Note: When living expenses in Mercury Nexus are sent to Apply Online, some lenders will convert any expense that has ownership applied into an expense for each applicant. As an example if you had a Groceries expense in Mercury Nexus that was $200 a month with shared ownership of 50% for each applicant, Apply Online would convert it to two groceries expense items of $100 a month for each applicant. Find out which lenders here.
