Velocity Financial, Inc. (NYSE: VEL), a leading originator of investor loans secured by 1-4 unit residential rental and small commercial properties, today announced the pricing of its first securitization transaction of 2020.

“We are pleased with the strong market reception of our first securitization of 2020 and our 13th transaction overall,” said President and CEO, Chris Farrar. “Velocity’s track record of outstanding collateral performance has resulted in our ability to consistently access the capital markets for term financing, allowing us to successfully grow the business while continuing to reduce funding costs.
