NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kroll Bond Rating Agency, Inc. (KBRA) assigns preliminary ratings to six classes of mortgage-backed notes from NRMLT 2020-NQM1, a $278.5 million non-prime RMBS transaction.

New Residential Mortgage Loan Trust 2020-NQM1, Mortgage-Backed Notes, Series 2020-NQM1 (NRMLT 2020-NQM1) is a residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) transaction sponsored by New Residential Investment Corp., a publicly traded (NYSE: NRZ) Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT).
