DBRS Morningstar Confirms All Classes of FREMF 2020-K107 Mortgage Trust, Series 2020-K107

DBRS Limited (DBRS Morningstar) confirmed the ratings on all classes of the Multifamily Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2020-K107 issued by FREMF 2020-K107 Mortgage Trust, Series 2020-K107 as follows:

-- Class A1 at AAA (sf)
-- Class A2 at AAA (sf)
-- Class X1 at AAA (sf)

All trends are Stable.

The rating confirmations reflect the overall stable performance of this transaction since issuance. According to the February 2022 remittance, all 50 of the original loans secured by multifamily properties remain in the trust, representing a nominal collateral reduction of 0.15% since issuance caused by scheduled loan amortization. There are no loans in special servicing. Four loans are on the servicer’s watchlist, representing 4.5% of the pool balance. The watchlisted loans are being monitored for low debt service coverage ratios (DSCRs) because of a decline in occupancy rates and/or revenues, or fire damage sustained at the subject properties; however, the servicer noted that there are sufficient insurance proceeds to complete the necessary repairs. Based on the year-end 2020 financials, the pool reported a weighted-average DSCR of 2.01 times (x), compared with the DBRS Morningstar DSCR of 1.62x.
