KBRA Assigns Ratings to Finance of America Structured Securities Trust, Series 2023-S3 (FASST 2023-S3)
KBRA assigns ratings to one class of mortgage-backed notes from FASST 2023-S3, a $460.2 million reverse mortgage transaction. 61.5% of the transaction comprises newly originated loans/participations which have not previously been securitized while the remaining collateral comprises loans/participations called from a prior FASST transaction (FASST 2020-JR4), which was not KBRA rated, and itself was a securitization of loans which were called from (TMFT 2017-RM1). As such, the assets range from newly originated to many years seasoned, with a weighted average loan age of 22 months through pool cut-off date.
In its review of this transaction, KBRA utilized its Reverse Mortgage Securitization Global Rating Methodology and evaluated the collateral pool using its KBRA Reverse Mortgage Model (KRMM).
