KBRA Assigns Preliminary Ratings to OBX 2026-INV3 Trust

29 Apr 2026   |   New York

Contacts

KBRA assigns preliminary ratings to 68 classes of mortgage pass-through notes from OBX 2026-INV3 Trust, a prime RMBS transaction secured primarily by agency-eligible investment properties (71.3%) and second homes (28.6.0%), collectively, non-owner occupied or “NOO” properties. The underlying collateral consists of 971 30-year fixed-rate mortgages (FRMs) with an aggregate unpaid principal balance (UPB) of approximately $384.1 million as of the April 1, 2026, cut-off date. CrossCountry Mortgage, LLC (CrossCountry) as an originator comprises 19.2% of the pool.

KBRA’s rating approach incorporated loan-level analysis of the mortgage pool through its Residential Asset Loss Model (REALM), an examination of the results from third-party loan file due diligence, cash flow modeling analysis of the transaction’s payment structure, reviews of key transaction parties and an assessment of the transaction’s legal structure and documentation. This analysis is further described in our U.S. RMBS Rating Methodology.
