The certificates follow a sequential-pay structure.

Fitch reviewed a comprehensive sample of the transaction's collateral, including site inspections on 63.3% of the properties by balance and cash flow analysis of 75.3% of the pool.

The transaction has a Fitch stressed debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) of 1.13x, a Fitch stressed loan-to value (LTV) of 114.9%, and a Fitch debt yield of 7.67%. Fitch's aggregate net cash flow represents a variance of 7.60% to issuer cash flows.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

Leverage In Line with Recent Freddie Mac Transactions: The pool's Fitch DSCR and LTV are 1.13x and 114.9%, respectively. The 2015 YTD average DSCR and LTV for Fitch-rated, 10-year, K-series Freddie Mac deals are 1.08x and 115.2%, respectively.

Diverse Pool by Loan Concentration: The top 10 loans comprise 30.8% of the pool, which is lower than the 2015 YTD average of 37.8% for Fitch-rated, 10-year, K-series Freddie Mac deals. The largest loan in the pool, The Pearson Court Square, represents 4.83% of the pool, while the second largest loan, Orion at Roswell Village, represents 4.30% of the pool.

Above Average Property Quality: Fitch considered collateral quality to be above average relative to other 10-year, K-series Freddie Mac deals, with four properties (14% of the Fitch sampled properties) receiving a grade of 'A' or 'A-', an additional 20% receiving a 'B+' grade and none of the properties receiving a grade below 'B-'.

Below-Average Pool Amortization: Within the pool, 15 loans representing 16.2% of the pool are full-term interest only, and 59 loans representing 72.6% of the pool have partial-term interest-only components. Based on the loans' scheduled maturity balance, the pool is expected to amortize 10.4% during the life of the transaction. This is one of the lowest amortization levels of recent Freddie Mac securitizations, which had an average of 12.1% for 2014 for Fitch-rated, 10-year, K-series Freddie Mac deals.

Low Mortgage Coupons: The pool's weighted average coupon is 3.81%, well below historical averages and in line with recent 2015 Fitch-rated, 10-year, K-series Freddie Mac deals. Fitch accounted for increased refinance risk in a higher interest rate environment by reviewing an interest rate sensitivity that assumes an interest rate floor of 4.5% for multifamily properties, in conjunction with Fitch's stressed refinance rates, which were 8.6% on a weighted average basis.

RATING SENSITIVITIES

Fitch performed two model-based break-even analyses to determine the level of cash flow and value deterioration the pool could withstand prior to \\$1 of loss being experienced by the 'BBB-sf' and 'AAAsf' rated classes. Fitch found that the FREMF 2015-K47 pool could withstand a 47.3% decline in value (based on appraised values at issuance) and an approximately 19.6% decrease to the most recent actual cash flow prior to experiencing \\$1 of loss to any 'AAAsf' rated class. Additionally, Fitch found that the pool could withstand a 40.6% decline in value and an approximately 9.3% decrease in the most recent actual cash flow prior to experiencing \\$1 of loss to the 'BBB-sf' rated class.
