Genesis Capital: Second Rated Residential Transitional Loan Securitization Closed At $450 Million

By Amit Chowdhry • Sep 28, 2024

Genesis Capital (a Rithm Capital company), a leading business-purpose lender offering innovative financing solutions to professional real estate developers for new acquisition, renovation, ground-up construction, and long-term rental hold projects across the residential spectrum, today announced it has closed NRMLT 2024-RTL2, a $450 million rated securitization backed by residential transitional loans (RTLs).

As Genesis’s second-rated RTL securitization, the deal received strong support from the investment community, including multiple repeat participants from Genesis’ first-rated securitization.

This deal marks the second-largest rated residential transitional loan securitization, surpassed in size only by the company’s April 2024 close of the largest-ever rated RTL securitization (NRMLT 2024-RTL1), extending Genesis’ track record of executing novel and innovative transactions. And it is also the first rated RTL securitization in the industry to feature a three-year term, granting Genesis more financial flexibility and tapping a longer tenor investor base. The securitization brings Genesis’ total issuance to over $1 billion, enabling Genesis to compete more effectively in the industry and solidifying its position as a clear leader in the RTL sector.

The deal’s structure featured four classes of offered bonds ranging from single A rated to single B rated bonds.

Goldman Sachs led the offering and served as an initial purchaser along with Deutsche Bank Securities, Morgan Stanley, Nomura, and Performance Trust.
