KBRA Assigns Preliminary Ratings to NCMF 2022-MFP

KBRA is pleased to announce the assignment of preliminary ratings to seven classes of NCMF 2022-MFP, a CMBS single borrower securitization.

The collateral for the transaction is a $346.0 million non-recourse, first-lien mortgage loan. The floating rate loan has a two-year initial term with three, one-year extension options and requires monthly interest-only payments. The loan is secured by the borrower’s fee simple interests in 11 workforce housing multifamily properties and one student housing property totaling 2,746 units. The properties range in size from 52 to 773 units and were built between 1929 and 2021 with an average age of 47 years. The properties are located in six different states across six MSAs. These MSAs include Indianapolis (41.3% of ALA), Dallas - Fort Worth (19.9%), Nashville (14.5%), Boone, NC (11.6%), Las Vegas (9.6%), and Los Angeles (3.2%).

KBRA’s analysis of the transaction included a detailed evaluation of the properties’ cash flows using our U.S. CMBS Property Evaluation Methodology and the application of our U.S. CMBS Single Borrower & Large Loan Rating Methodology. In addition, KBRA also relied on its Global Structured Finance Counterparty Methodology for assessing counterparty risk in this transaction and its ESG Global Rating Methodology, to the extent deemed applicable.

The results of our analysis yielded a KBRA net cash flow (KNCF) of $22.3 million, which is 2.6% below the issuer’s NCF, and a KBRA value of approximately $278.4 million, which is 40.3% lower than the aggregate appraisal value for the properties. The resulting in-trust KBRA Loan to Value (KLTV) is 124.3%. In our analysis of the transaction, we also reviewed and considered third party engineering, environmental, seismic, and appraisal reports; the results of our site inspections; and legal documentation review.
