All trends are Stable.

The rating confirmations reflect the overall stable performance of the transaction. The collateral consists of 637 individual loans secured by 761 commercial, multifamily, and single-family rental (SFR) properties with an average loan balance of $428,354. According to the June 2021 remittance report, 39 loans have repaid, representing a collateral reduction of approximately 5.6%. Per the most recent reporting, 15 loans, representing 2.5% of the pool, are delinquent. The transaction is configured with a sequential-pay pass-through structure.

The pool is diverse, based on loan size, as the 10 largest loans represent only 7.1% of the overall pool balance. Increased pool diversity helps to insulate the higher-rated classes from loan-level event risk. Of the 637 loans, 399 loans, representing 60.1% of the pool, have a fixed interest rate with an average rate of 6.9%. The floating-rate loans have interest rate life floors ranging from 2.00% to 10.3%, with a straight average of 7.00%. All but two of the loans fully amortize over their respective remaining loan terms, resulting in 99.9% expected amortization, virtually eliminating refinance risk.

The loans are mostly secured by traditional property types (retail, multifamily, office, and industrial) with no exposure to hospitality properties and minimal exposure to manufactured housing, which represents 0.2% of the pool balance. The pool is heavily concentrated with multifamily properties, representing 39.1% of the pool. Additionally, the pool is mostly concentrated in California, Florida, and New Jersey, representing 16.0%, 7.2%, and 6.3% of the pool, respectively.

DBRS Morningstar notes that 46 loans, representing 3.1% of the trust balance, are secured by SFR properties. The CMBS Methodology does not currently contemplate ratings on SFR properties. To address this, at issuance and for this review, DBRS Morningstar considerably increased the expected loss on these loans by approximately 2.9x over the average non-SFR expected loss.

Based on the original loan balance and the appraisal at origination, the pool had a weighted average (WA) loan-to-value ratio (LTV) of 66.9%. DBRS Morningstar applied a pool average LTV of 71.3%, which reflects adjustments made to values based on implied cap rates by market rank.

The IO rating mirrors the lowest-rated applicable reference obligation tranche as IO classes have the same payment priority as the obligation tranche.
