KBRA Assigns Preliminary Ratings to FREMF 2017-K71 and Freddie Mac Structured Pass-Through Certificates K-071Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) is pleased to announce the assignment of preliminary ratings to nine classes of FREMF Series 2017-K71 mortgage pass-through certificates and five classes of Freddie Mac structured pass-through certificates (SPCs), Series K-071 (see ratings list below). FREMF Series 2017-K71 is a $1.5 billion CMBS multi-borrower transaction. Freddie Mac will guarantee six classes of certificates issued in the underlying Series 2017-K71 securitization and will deposit the guaranteed underlying certificates into a separate trust that will issue the SPCs. The underlying transaction is collateralized by 65 fixed-rate multifamily mortgage loans. The loans have principal balances that range from $3.0 million to $164.6 million. The largest exposure is represented by Mill Run At Union (10.9%), a 1,167-unit, Class-B, garden-style multifamily complex located in Union, New Jersey, approximately eight miles southwest of the Newark CBD and 16 miles southwest of downtown Manhattan. The five largest loans represent 28.4% of the cut-off date balance and also include Carriage Hill Apartments (5.3%), The Heights Of Collingswood (4.4%), Gwynn Oaks Landing Apartments (4.4%), and Village Green (3.5%). The assets are located in 23 states, with the three largest concentrations in Maryland (19.6%), New Jersey (15.3%), and Florida (12.3%). KBRA's analysis of the underlying transaction incorporated our CMBS Multi-Borrower rating process that begins with our analysts' evaluation of the underlying collateral properties' financial and operating performance, which is used to determine KBRA's estimate of sustainable net cash flow (KNCF) and KBRA value using our CMBS Property Evaluation Methodology. KBRA's weighted average KNCF for the portfolio is 4.5% less than the issuer's NCF. KBRA capitalization rates were applied to each asset's KNCF to derive individual property values that, on an aggregate basis, were 41.5% less than third party appraisal values. The weighted average KBRA capitalization rate for the transaction is 8.81%. The KBRA credit model deploys rent and occupancy stresses, probability of default regressions, and loss-given default calculations to determine losses for each collateral loan, which are then used to assign our credit ratings. For complete details of the analysis, please see our pre-sale report, FREMF 2017-K71, published today at www.kbra.com. The report includes our KBRA Comparative Analytic Tool (KCAT).
