DBRS Morningstar Confirms Three John Hancock First Mortgage Loans

DBRS, Inc. (DBRS Morningstar) confirmed the ratings on three first mortgage loans at A (high) (sf) on three properties, reflecting the transactions’ overall stable performances. All trends are Stable. All loans were made by John Hancock Life Insurance Company, a subsidiary of Manulife Financial Corporation.

The loans are secured by first mortgages on three manufactured housing Communities (MHCs) in Florida and Arizona. The A (high) (sf) ratings reflect (1) the expected stability of debt payments, given strong operating histories and sponsorship; (2) moderate loan-to-value ratios; (3) the properties’ strong locations in well-established communities with demand for highly amenitized MHCs; and (4) the expected amortization that will take place over the remaining terms of the loans.
