NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) assigns preliminary ratings to twenty-seven classes of mortgage pass-through certificates from J.P. Morgan Mortgage Trust 2019-INV1 (JPMMT 2019-INV1), a prime RMBS transaction, the first from JPMMT backed predominately by non-agency and agency-eligible investment-purpose mortgage loans exempt (99.3%) from Ability-to-Repay (ATR) rules. For 7 loans (0.7%) the designation is QM even though the borrower’s DTI may be above 43%, due to a temporary exemption afforded to GSE-eligible loans under the Ability-to-Repay (ATR) rules.
The JPMMT 2019-INV1 mortgage pool is composed of 919 first-lien mortgage loans with an aggregate principal balance of $ 338,840,065 as of the cut-off date. The underlying collateral consists entirely of fully-amortizing, fixed-rate mortgages. The pool is characterized by substantial borrower equity in each mortgaged property, as evidenced by the WA original LTV of 65.9% and WA original CLTV of 66.0%. The weighted average original credit score is 767, which is within the prime mortgage range.
KBRA’s rating approach incorporated loan-level analysis of the mortgage pool through its Residential Mortgage Default and Loss Model, 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.
