KBRA Assigns Preliminary Ratings to J.P. Morgan Mortgage Trust 2022-INV3 (JPMMT 2022-INV3)

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KBRA assigns preliminary ratings to 24 classes of mortgage pass-through certificates from J.P. Morgan Mortgage Trust 2022-INV3 (JPMMT 2022-INV3), a prime RMBS transaction comprised of 1,024 residential mortgages with an aggregate interest-bearing principal balance of approximately $622.0 million as of the cut-off date. The underlying collateral includes both conforming (36.5%) and non-conforming (63.5%) loans and is secured entirely by investment properties. The pool is characterized by substantial borrower equity in each mortgaged property, as evidenced by the WA original CLTV of 67.2%. The weighted average original credit score is 768, which is well within the prime mortgage range.

KBRA’s rating approach incorporated loan-level analysis of the mortgage pool through its KBRA RMBS Credit 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.
