The certificates are collateralized by the borrower’s (i) price easy pursuits in a portfolio of 51 scholar housing properties; (ii) leasehold curiosity in a parking facility at one of many properties; and (iii) leasehold curiosity associated to 2 of the properties for a public proper of approach. Our rankings are based mostly on the credit score high quality of the loans and the energy of the securitization construction.
Moody’s strategy to score this transaction concerned the appliance of our Massive Mortgage and Single Asset/Single Borrower CMBS and our IO Ranking methodology. The score strategy for securities backed by a single mortgage compares the credit score danger inherent within the underlying collateral with the credit score safety supplied by the construction. The construction’s credit score enhancement is quantified by the utmost deterioration in property worth that the securities are capable of face up to underneath varied stress situations with out inflicting a rise within the anticipated loss for varied score ranges. In assigning single borrower rankings, we additionally take into account a spread of qualitative points in addition to the transaction’s structural and authorized features.
In combination, the portfolio accommodates 51 scholar housing properties (the “portfolio”) totaling 32,837 beds (10,461 items) situated throughout 28 main universities in 15 states. The properties are primarily located inside shut proximity to campus, with a weighted common distance from campus of roughly 0.15 miles for the portfolio. Development dates for properties within the portfolio vary between 1973 and 2018. The portfolio has a weighted common 12 months constructed of 2006, leading to a weighted common age of roughly 16 years. On a per mattress foundation, property sizes for property within the portfolio vary between 144 beds and 1,723 beds. The common dimension of every property within the portfolio is 644 beds. The portfolio is granular, with no particular person property accounting for greater than 5.2% of the beds or 9.0% of the mortgage ALA.

The credit score danger of loans is set primarily by two elements: 1) Moody’s evaluation of the likelihood of default, which is essentially pushed by every mortgage’s DSCR, and a pair of) Moody’s evaluation of the severity of loss upon a default, which is essentially pushed by every mortgage’s loan-to-value ratio, known as the Moody’s LTV or MLTV. As described within the CMBS methodology used to charge this transaction, we make varied changes to the MLTV. We alter the MLTV for every mortgage utilizing a price that displays capitalization (cap) charges which are between our sustainable cap charges and market cap charges. We additionally use an adjusted mortgage stability that displays every mortgage’s amortization profile.
The Moody’s first mortgage DSCR is 1.36x and Moody’s first mortgage pressured DSCR at a 9.25% fixed is 0.84x. Moody’s DSCR relies on our stabilized internet money move.
Moody’s LTV ratio for the primary mortgage stability is 99.7% based mostly on our Moody’s Worth. Adjusted Moody’s LTV ratio for the primary mortgage stability is 86.6% based mostly on our Moody’s Worth utilizing a cap charge adjusted for the present rate of interest setting. Making an allowance for the extra $375,000,000 mezzanine mortgage, the full debt Adjusted Moody’s LTV would improve to 107.9%.
Moody’s additionally grades properties on a scale of 0 to five (greatest to worst) and considers these grades when assessing the probability of debt cost. The elements thought of embody property age, high quality of development, location, market, and tenancy. The pool’s weighted common property high quality grade is 1.25.
Notable strengths of the transaction embody: property kind, asset high quality, robust places, working efficiency, a number of property pooling, acquisition financing and skilled sponsorship.

Moody’s score strategy considers sequential pay in reference to a collateral launch as a credit score impartial benchmark. Though the loans’ launch premium mitigates the chance of a rankings downgrade because of hostile choice, the professional rata cost construction limits rankings improve potential as mezzanine courses are prevented from constructing enhancement. The profit acquired from pooling via cross-collateralization can also be decreased.
