KBRA Assigns Preliminary Ratings to GCAT 2024-INV2 Trust
May 23 2024 - 2:19PM
Business Wire
KBRA assigns preliminary ratings to 35 classes of
mortgage-backed notes from GCAT 2024-INV2 Trust. The GCAT 2024-INV2
mortgage loans are secured by first liens on non-owner occupied
(NOO) investor properties and second homes. The loans were
underwritten to agency guidelines. The pool comprises 831,
first-lien, fixed rate residential mortgage loans as of the cut-off
date. The pool is characterized by significant borrower equity in
each mortgaged property, as evidenced by the WA original LTV of
72.5% and the WA original CLTV of 72.6%. The weighted average
original credit score is 768, which is within the prime mortgage
range.
KBRA’s rating approach incorporated loan-level analysis of the
mortgage pool through its KBRA RMBS Credit Model, Residential Asset
Loss Model (REALM), an examination of the results from third-party
loan file due diligence, cash flow modeling analysis of the
transaction’s payment structure, reviews of key transaction parties
and an assessment of the transaction’s legal structure and
documentation. This analysis is further described in our U.S. RMBS
Rating Methodology.
