Other than the categories specified above, DBRS Morningstar is not evaluating any other categories in this transaction.

This is a securitization of a portfolio of first-ranking conventional residential mortgage loans, at a fixed rate, financed by the issuance of the certificates. The certificates are backed by 1,094 loans with a total principal balance of approximately $442,105,486 on the deadline (1st of March2022).

MELLO 2022-INV2 is the sixth prime securitization comprised of fully amortized fixed rate mortgages on non-owner occupied residential investment properties issued under the MELLO shelf. The portfolio consists of conforming mortgages with an original term to maturity of primarily 30 years, which were underwritten by loanDepot using an automated underwriting system (AUS) designated by Fannie Mae Where Freddie Mac and were eligible for purchase by these agencies. About 5.3% of loans were subject to government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) assessment waivers. These loans did not require an appraisal of the new home, and the value of the property for the corresponding mortgage was based on an appraisal provided by the lender and accepted by Fannie Mae Where Freddie Mac’s AUS. In its analysis, DBRS Morningstar applied property value haircuts to these loans, which increased expected collateral losses. Details on underwriting conforming loans can be found in the Key Probability of Default Factors section.

loanDepot.comLLC (loanDepot) is the originator, seller and will act as servicer for the transaction. Computershare Trust Company, North America (computer sharing) is the lead manager and securities administrator of the Mortgages. Mello Credit Strategies LLC is the sponsor of the transaction. LD Group Holdings LLC will serve as surety with respect to Seller’s recourse obligations. Mello Securitization Depositor LLCa subsidiary of the Sponsor and an affiliate of the Seller, will act as Depositor of the transaction. Wilmington Savings Fund SocietyFSB will serve as trustee, and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company will serve as guardian.

For this transaction, the service fee consists of three separate components: the global base service fee, the global overdue service fee, and the global additional service fee. These fees vary depending on the delinquency status of the related loan and will be paid from interest earned prior to distribution to securities.

The transaction uses a variable interest senior-subordinate cash flow structure that is improved over a pre-crisis structure.

Impact of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic

The coronavirus pandemic and resulting isolation measures caused an immediate economic contraction, leading to sharp increases in unemployment rates and reductions in income for many consumers. DBRS Morningstar saw an increase in defaults for many residential mortgage-backed (RMBS) asset classes soon after the pandemic began.

These mortgage delinquencies were primarily in the form of forbearances, typically short-term payment relief that can occur very differently from traditional delinquencies. At the start of the pandemic, the option to waive mortgage payments was widely available, and it drove forbearance to a very high level. After the dust settled, coronavirus-induced forbearance in 2020 performed better than expected, thanks to government aid, low loan-to-value ratios and good underwriting in the mortgage market in general. Across almost all RMBS asset classes, delinquencies have gradually declined in recent months as the forbearance period draws to a close for many borrowers.

For more information on rating methodologies and the coronavirus, please see the following commentary from DBRS Morningstar: Baseline Macroeconomic Scenarios For Rated Sovereigns – March 2022 Updated, dated March 24, 2022.

The ratings reflect transactional strengths which include high quality credit attributes, well qualified borrowers, structural improvements, satisfactory third party due diligence review and 100% outstanding loans.

The ratings reflect transactional weaknesses which include loans that are 100% of the investors’ properties and some borrowers with multiple mortgages in the securitized pool, certain aspects of the representations and warranties framework and the manager’s financial capabilities.

The full description of strengths, challenges and mitigating factors is detailed in the related evaluation report.
