Business Wire
KBRA assigns preliminary ratings to six classes of mortgage
pass-through notes from Verus Securitization Trust 2024-4 (VERUS
2024-4), a $567.4 million non-prime RMBS transaction. The
underlying collateral, comprising 1,179 residential mortgages, is
characterized by a significant concentration of loans underwritten
using alternative income documentation. Borrowers in the subject
pool possess a non-zero WA original credit score of 738 and exhibit
moderate equity in each mortgaged property, with an original
combined LTV (CLTV) ratio of 68.7%. Most of the loans are
classified as non-qualified mortgages (Non-QM) (30.4%) or exempt
(44.5%) from the Ability-to-Repay/Qualified Mortgage (ATR/QM) rule
due to being originated for non-consumer loan purposes.
