Washington, D.C. – February 22, 2021 – Verus Mortgage Capital (VMC), a full-service correspondent investor offering residential non-QM and investor rental programs, announced that in 2020 it financed nearly $2.6 billion of loans across six-rated and one unrated securitization transactions.
As the nation’s largest issuer of securitizations backed by Non-QM loans each of the three last years, Verus’ 2020-2 issuance was the first post-COVID securitization with ratings to include both Standard & Poor’s and Fitch Ratings.
