Business Wire
KBRA assigns preliminary ratings to six classes of Bridge
2024-SFR1 single-family rental pass-through certificates.
Bridge 2024-SFR1 is a single-borrower, single-family rental
(SFR) securitization that will be collateralized by a $265.0
million loan secured by first priority mortgages on 1,130
income-producing single-family homes. The fixed-rate loan requires
interest payments only over its four-year term. The subject
transaction will be the second KBRA-rated securitization issued by
Bridge.
The underlying single-family rental properties are located in or
near 16 Core Based Statistical Areas (CBSAs) across nine states.
The top-three CBSAs represent 41.5% of the portfolio and include
Atlanta (18.6%), Jacksonville (13.2%), and Charlotte (9.6%). The
aggregate BPO value of the underlying homes is $331.2 million,
yielding an LTV of 80.0%. KBRA adjusted the BPOs, which yielded an
aggregate value of $314.6 million, which represents a 5.0% haircut
to the nominal BPO value. The resulting LTV based on KBRA’s
adjusted BPO value was 84.2%.
KBRA uses a hybrid analysis to evaluate SFR transactions, which
incorporates elements of both KBRA’s CMBS and RMBS methodologies,
as the underlying real estate contains commercial and residential
characteristics. As the properties generate a cash flow stream from
tenant rental payments, elements of CMBS methodologies are used to
determine the loan’s probability of default (PD). To determine loss
given default (LGD), KBRA assumes the underlying properties would
be liquidated in the residential property market. In determining
LGD, KBRA subjects the real estate properties to home price stress
scenarios using elements of RMBS methodologies. This hybrid
analysis is described in more in KBRA’s U.S. Single-Family Rental
Securitization Methodology.
