Cautionary Statement RegardingRegarding Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that are subject to risks and uncertainties. In particular, statements relating to our liquidity and capital resources, our performance and results of operations contain forward-looking statements. Furthermore, all of the statements regarding future financial performance (including market conditions and demographics) are forward-looking statements. We caution investors that any forward-looking statements presented in this quarterly report are based on management’s currentthen-current beliefs and assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. When used, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “result,” the negative version of these words and similar expressions that do not relate solely to historical matters are intended to identify forward-looking statements. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions.

Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. We caution youcautionyou therefore against relying on any of these forward-looking statements.

Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance, liquidity or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

Risks associated with the current COVID-19 pandemic, including unpredictable variants and the future outbreak of other highly infectious or contagious diseases;

Our loans and investments are concentrated in terms of geography, asset types and sponsors and may continue to be so in the future;

We are dependent upon our Manager and its affiliates to conduct our day-to-day operations; thus, adverse changes in their financial health or our relationship with them could cause our operations to suffer;

If we fail to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, cash available for distributions to be paid to our stockholders could decrease materially, which would limit our ability to make distributions to our stockholders;

Our Manager and its affiliates face conflicts of interest, including significant conflicts created by our Manager’s compensation arrangements with us, including compensation that may be required to be paid to our Manager if our management agreement is terminated, which could result in decisions that are not in the best interests of our stockholders;

Any other risks included under Part I, Item1A, “Risk Factors,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 28, 2022.

They are based on estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this quarterly report. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, data or methods, future events or other changes, except as required by law.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual amounts realized or paid could differ from those estimates. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. There have been no significant changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2020.2022.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted according to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.


In the opinion of management, all adjustments and eliminations necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 20202022 and December 31, 2021 and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 20202022 and 2021 have been included. Such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature. The unaudited information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Prospectus forming a part ofaudited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, and notes thereto in its Registration StatementAnnual Report on Form S-11 (Registration No. 333-235698)10-K filed with the SEC on February 10, 2020.28, 2022.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. It is at least reasonably possible that these estimates could change in the near term. Estimates are inherently subjective in nature and actual results could differ from our estimates and the differences could be material.

Since being reported in December 2019, COVID-19

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has spread globally, includingreceived and may continue to every statereceive forbearance requests and may experience difficulty making new investments or redeploying proceeds from repayments of our existing investments, meeting financial covenants in the United States. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic,Company's debt obligations or accessing debt and equity capital on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and another pandemic in the future could have, repercussions across regional and global economies and financial markets. The outbreak of COVID-19 in many countries has significantly adversely impacted globalattractive terms, or at all. In addition, reduced economic activity may cause certain borrowers underlying the Company’s real estate related assets and has contributedsenior loans to significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets.become delinquent or default on their loans, or seek to defer payment on, or refinance, their loans. The globalCompany is closely monitoring the impact of the outbreak hasCOVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business. From inception through March 31, 2022, there have been rapidly evolving and,4 forbearance requests approved in the Company's CMBS B-Piece portfolio, representing 0.8% of the Company's consolidated unpaid principal balance outstanding. Additionally, there were 9 forbearance requests approved in the Company's SFR Loan book. However, as cases of COVID-19 haveMarch 31, 2022, these loans were no longer in forbearance.

Principles of Consolidation

The Company accounts for subsidiary partnerships in which it holds an ownership interest in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810,Consolidation. The Company first evaluates whether each entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”). Under the VIE model, the Company consolidates an entity when it has power to direct the activities of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Under the voting model, the Company consolidates an entity when it controls the entity through ownership of a majority voting interest. As of March 31, 2022, the Company has determined it must consolidate the OP and the Subsidiary OPs under the VIE model as it was determined the Company both controls the direct activities of the OP and Subsidiary OPs and possesses the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the OP and Subsidiary OPs. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the OP and its subsidiaries. The Company’s sole significant asset is its investment in the OP, and consequently, substantially all of the Company’s assets and liabilities represent those assets and liabilities of the OP. In addition, all

7

Variable Interest Entities

The Company evaluates all of its interests in VIEs for consolidation. When the Company’s interests are determined to be variable interests, the Company assesses whether it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is required to consolidate the VIE. FASB ASC Topic 810,Consolidation, defines the primary beneficiary as the party that has both (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits from the VIE which could be potentially significant. The Company considers its variable interests, as well as any variable interests of its related parties in making this determination. Where both of these factors are present, the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, and it consolidates the VIE. Where either one of these factors is not present, the Company is not the primary beneficiary, and it does not consolidate the VIE.


CMBS Trusts

The Company consolidates the trusts that issue beneficial ownership interests in mortgage loans secured by commercial real estate (commonly known as CMBS) when the Company holds a variable interest in, and management considers the Company to be the primary beneficiary of, those trusts. Management believes the performance of the assets that underlie CMBS issuances most significantly impact the economic performance of the trust, and the primary beneficiary is generally the entity that conducts activities that most significantly impact the performance of the underlying assets. In particular, the most subordinate tranches of CMBS expose the holder to greater variability of economic performance when compared to more senior tranches since the subordinate tranches absorb a disproportionately higher amount of the credit risk related to the underlying assets. Generally, a trust designates the most junior subordinate tranche outstanding as the controlling class, which entitles the holder of the controlling class to unilaterally appoint, remove and replace the special servicer for the trust. For the eightCMBS that the Company consolidates, the Company owns 100% of the most subordinate tranche of the securities issued by the trusts, which includesecurities. The subordinate tranche includes the controlling class and has the ability to remove and replace the special servicer.

On the Consolidated Balance SheetSheets as of March 31, 2020, we2022, the Company consolidated each of the two Freddie Mac K-Series securitization entities (the “CMBS Entities”) that wewere determined wereto be VIEs and for which we determined we werethe Company is the primary beneficiary. The CMBS Entities are independent of the Company, and the assets and liabilities of the CMBS Entities are not owned by and are not legal obligations of ours. Our exposure to the CMBS Entities is through the subordinated tranches. For financial reporting purposes, the underlying mortgage loans held by the trusts are recorded as a separate line item on the balance sheet under “Mortgage loans held in variable interest entities, at fair value.” The liabilities of the trusts consist solely of obligations to the CMBS holders of the consolidated trusts, excluding the CMBS B-Piece investments held by the Company. The liabilities are presented as “Bonds payable held in variable interest entities, at fair value” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.Sheets. The CMBS B-Pieces held by the Company, and the interest earned thereon are eliminated in consolidation. Management has elected the measurement alternative in ASC 810 to report the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the consolidated CMBS Entities in order to provide users of the financial statements with better information regarding the effects of credit risk and other market factors on the CMBS B-Pieces owned by the Company. Management has elected to show interest income and interest expense related to the CMBS Entities in aggregate with the change in fair value as “Change in net assets related to consolidated CMBS variable interest entities.” The residual difference between the fair value of the CMBS Entities’ assets and liabilities represents the Company’s investments in the CMBS B-Pieces.B-Pieces at fair value. 

Investment in subsidiaries

The Company conducts its operations through the OP, which directly or through a subsidiary, acts as the general partner of the subsidiary partnerships thatSubsidiary OPs. The Subsidiary OPs own the investments through limited liability companies that are SPEs.SPEs which own investments directly. The OP is the sole member of the Mezz LLC, which owns investments directly. The OP has three classes of OP Units: Class A, Class B and Class C. Class A OP Units and Class B OP Units each have 50.0% of the voting power of the OP Units and Class C OP Units have no voting power. Each Class A OP Unit, Class B OP Unit and Class C OP Unit otherwise represents substantially the same economic interest in the OP. The Company is the solemajority limited partner of the OP hasin terms of economic interests, holding approximately 76.21% of the OP Units in the OP as of March 31, 2022, which represent 100% of the limited partnership interests in theClass A OP Units, and has the ability to remove the general partner of the OP with or without cause, and asmust generally receive approval of the Board to take any actions. As such, the Company consolidates the OP. The Company consolidates the SPEs in which it has a controlling financial interest, as well as any VIEs where it is the primary beneficiary. All of the investments the SPEs own are consolidated in the unaudited consolidated financial statements. Generally, the assets of each entity can only be used to settle obligations of that particular entity, and the creditors of each entity have no recourse to the assets of other entities or the Company notwithstanding equity pledges various lenders may have in certain entities or guarantees provided by certain entities.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests represent the ownership interests in consolidated subsidiaries held by entities other than the Company. Those noncontrolling interests that the holder is allowed to redeem before liquidation or termination of the entity that issued those interests are considered redeemable noncontrolling interests.

The subsidiary partnerships ofOP and the OPSubsidiary OPs have issued redeemable noncontrolling interests classified on the Consolidated Balance SheetSheets as temporary equity in accordance with ASC 480. This is presented as “Redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership”OP” on the Consolidated Balance SheetSheets and their share of “Net Income (Loss)” as “Net Income (Loss) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

8

The redeemable noncontrolling interests were initially measured at the fair value of the contributed assets in accordance with ASC 805-50.805-50. The redeemable noncontrolling interests will be adjusted to their redemption value if such value exceeds the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests. Capital contributions, distributions and profits and losses are allocated to the redeemable noncontrolling interests in accordance with the terms of the partnership agreements of the subsidiary partnerships.Subsidiary OPs and the OP.


Acquisition Accounting

The Company accounts for the acquisitions ofassets acquired in the Initial Portfolio, including the SFR Loans and CMBS B-Pieces,Formation Transaction as asset acquisitions pursuant to ASC 805-50805-50, rather than as business combinations. Substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired are concentrated in a group of similar identifiable assets, i.e. the SFR Loans represent one acquisition of similar identifiable assets, and the acquisition of the CMBS B-Pieces represents an additional acquisition of similar identifiable assets. Additionally, there were no corresponding in-place workforce, servicing platforms or any other item that could be considered an input or process associated with these assets. As such, the SFR Loans and the CMBS B-Pieces do not constitute businesses as defined by ASC 805-10-55.805-10-55. As the investments in the Initial Portfolio were contributed to the OP’s subsidiary partnershipsSubsidiary OPs in a non-cash transaction, cost is based on the fair value of the assets acquired.

Formation Transaction  

The Company commenced operations on February 11, 2020 uponat the closingtime of its IPO. Prior to the closing of the IPO, the Company engaged in the Formation Transaction through which it acquired the Initial Portfolio consisting of SFR Loans, CMBS B-Pieces,  mezzanine loan and preferred equity investments in real estate companies and properties in other structured real estate investments within the multifamily, SFR and self-storage asset classes.  The Initial Portfolio was acquired from the Contribution Group pursuant to a contribution agreement through which the Contribution Group contributed their interest in the Initial Portfolio to SPEs owned by subsidiary partnerships of the Company, in exchange for limited partnership interests in subsidiary partnerships of the OP.  The assets and liabilities constituting the Initial Portfolio were contributed at fair value using a cutoff date of January 31, 2020.  The mezzanine loan, preferred stock and preferred equity investments were valued using a discounted cash flow model using discount rates negotiated with the Contribution Group.  A third-party valuation firm was utilized to value the SFR Loans using the income approach in accordance with ASC Topic 820.  The income approach utilizes a discounted cash flow method to present value the expected future cash flows.  The future cash flows were projected based on the terms of the loans including interest rates, current balances and servicing fees.  The future cash flows depend substantially on various other assumptions such as prepayment rates, prepayment charges, default rates, expected loss given default (severity), and other inputs.  The Credit Facility contributed along with the SFR Loans was also valued using the income approach as previously described.  The equity and financial liabilities of the consolidated CMBS B-Pieces were valued using broker quotes (see Note 2 for more information on our valuation methodologies).  The Bridge Facility was originated shortly before the closing of the IPO and was contributed at its carrying value, which approximated fair value.  The fair values of the contributed cash and accrued interest and dividends approximated their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.  The fair values of the contributed assets described above were agreed upon by the Contribution Group and used to determine the number of Sub OP Units issued.  Any purchase premiums or discounts are amortized over the expected life of the investment.  

The following table shows the par values, fair values and purchase premiums (discounts) of the Initial Portfolio as February 11, 2020, the closing date of the IPO:contribution.

Cash, and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. Substantially all amounts on deposit with major financial institutions exceed insured limits.


From time to time, the Company may have to post cash collateral to satisfy margin calls due to changes in fair value of the underlying collateral subject to master repurchase agreements. This cash is listed as restricted cash on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Restricted cash is also stated at cost, which approximates fair value.

Loans that are held-for-investment are carried at their aggregate outstanding face amount, net of applicable (i) unamortized origination or acquisition premium and discounts, (ii) unamortized deferred fees and other direct loan origination costs, (iii) valuation allowance for loan losses and (iv) write-downs of impaired loans. The effective interest method is used to amortize origination or acquisition premiums and discounts and deferred fees or other direct loan origination costs. In circumstances where, in management’s opinion, the difference between the straight-line and effective interest methods is immaterial, the straight-line method is used.  As prepayments of principal are received, any premiums paid are amortized against interest income.  In general, an increase in prepayment rates accelerates the amortization of purchase premiums, thereby reducing the interest income earned on the assets. Conversely, discounts on such assets are accreted into interest income. In general, an increase in prepayment rates accelerates the accretion of purchase discounts, thereby increasing the interest income earned on the assets.

Purchase Price Allocation

The Company considers the acquisition of real estate investments as asset acquisitions. Upon acquisition of a property, the purchase price and related acquisition costs (“total consideration”) are allocated to land, buildings, improvements, furniture, fixtures, and equipment and intangible lease assets in accordance with FASB ASC 805,Business Combinations. Acquisition costs are capitalized in accordance with FASB ASC 805.

The allocation of total consideration, which is determined using inputs that are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy established by FASB ASC 820,Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) (see Note 10), is based on management’s estimate of the property’s “as-if” vacant fair value and is calculated by using all available information such as the replacement cost of such asset, appraisals, property condition reports, market data and other related information. The allocation of the total consideration to intangible lease assets represents the value associated with the in-place leases, which may include lost rent, leasing commissions, legal and other related costs, which the Company, as buyer of the property, did not have to incur to obtain the residents. If any debt is assumed in an acquisition, the difference between the fair value, which is estimated using inputs that are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and the face value of debt is recorded as a premium or discount and amortized as interest expense over the life of the debt assumed.

Real estate assets, including land, buildings, improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment, and intangible lease assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Costs incurred in making repairs and maintaining real estate assets are expensed as incurred. Expenditures for improvements, renovations and replacements are capitalized at cost. Real estate-related depreciation and amortization are computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives as described in the following table:

Land

Not depreciated

Buildings

30 years

Improvements

15 years

Furniture, fixtures and equipment

3 years

Intangible lease assets

6 months

Post-acquisition, construction in progress includes the cost of renovation projects being performed at the various properties. Once a project is complete, the historical cost of the renovation is placed into service in one of the categories above depending on the type of renovation project and is depreciated over the estimated useful lives as described in the table above.

Secured Financing and Master Repurchase Agreements

The Company's borrowings under secured financing agreements and master repurchase agreements are treated as collateralized financing arrangements carried at their contractual amounts, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, if any.

Income Recognition

Interest Income - Loans held-for-investment, available-for-sale securities,CMBS structured pass-through certificates and mortgage loans from the consolidated CMBS entities and debt securities held-to-maturityEntities where the Company expects to collect the contractual interest and principal payments are considered to be performing loans. The Company recognizes income on performing loans in accordance with the terms of the loan on an accrual basis. Interest income also includes amortization of loan premiums or discounts and loan origination costs.costs and prepayment penalties.

Dividend Income - Dividend income is recorded when declared.

Realized Gain (Loss) on Sale of Investments - The Company recognizes the excess, or deficiency, of net proceeds received, less the carrying value of such investments, as realized gains or losses, respectively. The Company reverses cumulative, unrealized gains or losses previously reported in its Consolidated StatementStatements of Operations with respect to the investment sold at the time of the sale.

Revenue Recognition

The Company owns a multifamily property whereby its primary operations consist of rental income earned from its residents under lease agreements typically with terms of one year or less. Rental income is recognized when earned. This policy effectively results in income recognition on the straight-line method over the related terms of the leases. The Company records an allowance to reflect revenue that may not be collectable. This is recorded through a provision for bad debts, which is included in rental income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Resident reimbursements and other income consist of charges billed to residents for utilities, carport and garage rental, pets and administrative, application and other fees and are recognized when earned. The Company implemented the provisions of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”) as of December 31, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as a substantial portion of its revenue consists of rental income from leasing arrangements, which is specifically excluded from ASU 2014-09.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases Targeted Improvements (“ASU 2018-11”), which provides entities with relief from the costs of implementing certain aspects of ASU 2016-02. ASU 2018-11 provides a practical expedient that allows lessors to not separate lease and non-lease components in a contract and allocate the consideration in the contract to the separate components if both (i) the timing and pattern of revenue recognition for the non-lease component and the related lease component are the same and (ii) the combined single lease component would be classified as an operating lease. The Company elected the practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components as a single component in lease contracts where the Company is the lessor. The Company implemented the provisions of ASU 2018-11 and 2016-02, collectively Topic 842 Leases (“ASC 842”), effective December 31,2021. The Company presents the disclosure of leases in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and began presenting all rentals and reimbursements from tenants as a single line item within rental income (Note 8).

Expense Recognition

Interest expense, in accordance with the Company’s financing agreements, is recorded on the accrual basis. General and administrative expenses are expensed as incurred.

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The Company, with the assistance of an independent valuations firm, performs a quarterly evaluation of loans classified as held for investment for impairment on a loan by loanloan-by-loan basis in accordance with ASC 310-10-35, 310-10-35,Receivables, Subsequent Measurement (“ASC 310-10-35”310-10-35”). If we deemthe Company determines that it is probable that weit will be unable to collect all amounts owed according to the contractual terms of a loan, impairment of that loan is indicated. If we consider a loan is considered to be impaired, wethe Company will establish an allowance for loan losses, through a valuation provision in earnings that reduces carrying value of the loan to the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s contractual effective rate or the fair value of the collateral, if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. For non-impaired loans with no specific allowance the Company determines an allowance for loan losses in accordance with ASC 450-20, 450-20,Loss Contingencies (“ASC 450-20”450-20”), which represents management’s best estimate of incurred losses inherent in the portfolio at the balance sheet date, excluding impaired loans and loans carried at fair value. Management considers quantitative factors likely to cause estimated credit losses, including default rate and loss severity rates. The Company also evaluates qualitative factors such as macroeconomic conditions, evaluations of underlying collateral, trends in delinquencies and non-performing assets. Increases to (or reversals of) the allowance for loan loss are included in “Loan loss provision, net”(provision)” on the accompanying Consolidated StatementStatements of Operations.

Significant judgment is required in determining impairment and in estimating the resulting loss allowance, and actual losses, if any, could materially differ from those estimates.

We perform

The Company performs a quarterly review of ourthe portfolio. In conjunction with this review, we assessthe Company assesses the risk factors of each loan, including, without limitation, loan-to-value ratio, debt yield, property type, geographic and local market dynamics, physical condition, collateral, cash-flow volatility, leasing and tenant profile, loan structure, exit plan and project sponsorship. Based on a 5-point5-point scale, our loans are rated “1”“1” through “5,“5, from least risk to greatest risk, respectively, which ratings are defined as follows:

1 – Outperform – Materially exceeds performance metrics (for example, technical milestones, occupancy, rents and net operating income) included in original or current credit underwriting and business plan;

2 – Exceeds Expectations – Collateral performance exceeds substantially all performance metrics included in original or current credit underwriting and business plan;

3 – Satisfactory – Collateral performance meets, or is on track to meet, underwriting; business plan is met or can reasonably be achieved;


4 – Underperformance – Collateral performance falls short of underwriting, material differences exist from business plan, or both; technical milestones have been missed; defaults may exist or may soon occur absent material improvement; and

9

5 – Risk of Impairment/Default – Collateral performance is significantly worse than underwriting; major variance from business plan; loan covenants or technical milestones have been breached; timely exit from loan via sale or refinancing is questionable.

We

The Company regularly evaluateevaluates the extent and impact of any credit deterioration associated with the performance and/or value of the underlying collateral, as well as the financial and operating capability of the borrower. Specifically, the collateral’s operating results and any cash reserves are analyzed and used to assess (i) whether cash from operations is sufficient to cover the debt service requirements currently and into the future, (ii) the ability of the borrower to refinance the loan and/or (iii) the collateral’s liquidation value. WeThe Company also evaluateevaluates the financial condition of any loan guarantors, as well as any changes in the borrower’s competency in managing and operating the collateral. In addition, we considerthe Company considers the overall economic environment, real estate or industry sector and geographic sub-market in which the borrower operates. Such impairment analyses are completed and reviewed by asset management and finance personnel who utilize various data sources, including (i) periodic financial data such as property operating statements, occupancy, tenant profile, rental rates, operating expenses, the borrower’s exit plan and capitalization and discount rates, (ii) site inspections and (iii) current credit spreads and discussions with market participants.

We consider

The Company considers loans to be past-due when a monthly payment is due and unpaid for 60 days or more. Loans will be placed on nonaccrual status and considered non-performing when full payment of principal and interest is in doubt, which generally occurs when they become 120 days or more past-due unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection. Accrual of interest on individual loans is discontinued when management believes that, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, the borrower’s financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful. Our policy is to stopcease accruing interest when a loan’s delinquency exceeds 120 days. All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual status or subsequently charged-off are reversed against interest income. Income is subsequently recognized on the cash basis until, in management’s judgment, the borrower’s ability to make periodic principal and interest payments returns and future payments are reasonably assured, in which case the loan is returned to accrual status.

For individual loans, a troubled debt restructuring is a formal restructuring of a loan where, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, a concession that would not otherwise be considered is granted to the borrower. The concession may be granted in various forms, including providing a below-market interest rate, a reduction in the loan balance or accrued interest, an extension of the maturity date or a combination of these. An individual loan that has had a troubled debt restructuring is considered to be impaired and is subject to the relevant accounting for impaired loans. As of, and for the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company had no loan modifications, and, thus no troubled debt restructurings.

A loan is written off when it is no longer realizable and/or it is legally discharged.

We

The Company will evaluate acquired loans and debt securities for which it is probable at acquisition that all contractually required payments will not be collected in accordance with ASC 310-30, 310-30,Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment

The Company accounts for its investment in Preferred Stock as a debt security held to maturity.  Debt securities held to maturity are evaluated on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when triggering events or market conditions warrant such an evaluation, to determine whether declines in their value are other-than-temporary impairments (“OTTI”). To determine whether a loss in value is other-than-temporary,During the Company utilizes criteria including: the reasons underlying the decline, the magnitude and duration of the decline (greater or less than twelve months) and whether or not we intend to sell or expect that it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the investment prior to an anticipated recovery of the carrying value. The term “other-than-temporary” is not intended to indicate that the decline is permanent, but indicates that the prospects for a near-term recovery of value is not necessarily favorable, or that there is a lack of evidence to support a realizable value equal to or greater than the carrying value of the investment.

In the event that the fair value of debt securities held to maturity is less than amortized cost, we consider whether the unrealized holding loss represents an OTTI. If we do not expect to recover the carrying value of the debt security held-to-maturity based on future expected cash flows, an OTTI exists, and we reduce the carrying value by the impairment amount, recognize the portion of the impairment related to credit factors in earnings and the portion of the impairment related to other factors in accumulated other comprehensive income. For three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company has not recognized an OTTI related to its investment in debt securities held to maturity.2022, there were 0 loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality.


Fair Value

GAAP requires the categorization of the fair value of financial instruments into three broad levels that form a hierarchy based on the transparency of inputs to the valuation.

Level 1 – Inputs are adjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2 – Inputs are other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 – Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, related market activity for the asset or liability.

The Company follows this hierarchy for our financial instruments. Classifications will be based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. We reviewThe Company reviews the valuation of Level 3 financial instruments as part of our quarterly process.

Valuation of Consolidated VIEs

We report

The Company reports the financial assets and liabilities of each consolidated CMBS trust that we consolidate at fair value using the measurement alternative included in Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-13,2014-13, Measuring the Financial Assets and the Financial Liabilities of a Consolidated Collateralized Financing Entity (“ASU 2014-13”2014-13”). Pursuant to ASU 2014-13, we measure2014-13, both the financial assets and financial liabilities of the consolidated CMBS trusts we consolidateare measured using the fair value of the financial liabilities (which we considerare considered more observable than the fair value of the financial assets) and the equity of the CMBS trusts beneficially owned by us.the Company. As a result, we presented the CMBS issued by the consolidated trusts, but not beneficially owned by us, are presented as financial liabilities in our consolidated financial statements, measured at their estimated fair value; wethe Company measured the financial assets as the total estimated fair value of the CMBS issued by the consolidated trust, regardless of whether such CMBS represent interests beneficially owned by us.the Company. Under the measurement alternative prescribed by ASU 2014-13, our2014-13, “Net income (loss)” reflects the economic interests in the consolidated CMBS beneficially owned by us,the Company, presented as “Change in net assets related to consolidated CMBS variable interest entities” in ourthe Consolidated Statements of Operations, which includes applicable (1)(1) changes in the fair value of CMBS beneficially owned by us, (2)the Company, (2) interest income, interest expense and servicing fees earned from the CMBS trusts and (3)(3) other residual returns or losses of the CMBS trusts, if any.

Valuation Methodologies

CMBS Trusts - The financial liabilities and equity of the consolidated CMBS trusts were valued using broker quotes. Broker quotes represent the price that an investment could be sold for in a market transaction and represent fair market value. Loans and bonds with quotes that are based on actual trades with a sufficient level of activity on or near the valuation date are classified as Level 2 assets. Loans and bonds that are priced using quotes derived from implied values, bid/ask prices for trades that were never consummated, or a limited amount of actual trades are classified as Level 3 assets because the inputs used by the brokers and pricing services to derive the values are not readily observable.

CMBS Structured Pass-Through Certificates - CMBS structured pass-through certificates (“CMBS I/O Strips”) are categorized as Level 2 assets in the fair value hierarchy. CMBS I/O Strips are valued using broker quotes. Broker quotes represent the price that an investment could be sold for in a market transaction and represent fair market value. Loans and bonds with quotes that are based on actual trades with a sufficient level of activity on or near the valuation date are classified as Level 2 assets.

SFR Loans, Preferred Equity Investments, Preferred Stock and Mezzanine Loansand Convertible Notes - We categorize our SFR Loans, preferred equity, preferred stockmezzanine loans and mezzanine loanconvertible debt investments are categorized as Level 3 assets in the fair value hierarchy. SFR Loans, preferred equity, preferred stockmezzanine loans and mezzanine loanconvertible note investments are valued using a discounted cash flow model using discount rates derived from observable market data applied to the internal rate of return implied by the expected contractual cash flows. The valuation is done for disclosure purposes only as these investments are not carried at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Common Stock Investment - The common stock investment is categorized as a Level 3 asset in the fair value hierarchy. Despite our ability to exercise significant influence, the Company chose to value the investment in NexPoint Storage Partners, Inc. (“NSP”) using the fair value option in accordance with ASC 825-10. See Note 5 for additional disclosures regarding the fair value of this investment.

Repurchase Agreements - We generally consider ourThe repurchase agreements are categorized as Level 3 liabilities in the fair value hierarchy as such liabilities represent borrowings on illiquid collateral with terms specific to each borrower. Given the short to moderate term of the floating-rate facilities, we generally expectthe Company expects the fair value of repurchase agreements to approximate their outstanding principal balances.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis - Certain assets not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but that are subject to fair-value adjustments only in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of impairment, will be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. For first mortgage loans, mezzanine loans and preferred equity and preferred stock investments, we applythe Company applies the amortized cost method of accounting, but may be required, from time to time, to record a nonrecurring fair value adjustment in the form of a provision for loan loss or OTTI as discussed above.accounting.

Overall, our determination of fair value is based upon the best information available for a given circumstance and may incorporate assumptions that are our best estimates after consideration of a variety of internal and external factors. When an independent valuation firm expresses an opinion on the fair value of a financial instrument in the form of a range, we selectthe Company selects a value within the range provided by the independent valuation firm, generally the midpoint, to assess the reasonableness of our estimated fair value for that financial instrument.


Income Taxes

The Company believes that it will operate in a manner that will allow ithas elected to qualify for taxationbe taxed as a REIT under the Code, commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 2020.and expects to continue to qualify as a REIT. As a result of the Company’s expected REIT qualification, the Company does not expect to pay U.S. federal corporate level taxes. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute annually at least 90% of its “REIT taxable income,” as defined by the Code, to its stockholders. If the Company fails to meet these requirements, it could be subject to federal income tax on all of the Company’s taxable income at regular corporate rates for that year. The Company would not be able to deduct distributions paid to stockholders in any year in which it fails to qualify as a REIT. Additionally, the Company will also be disqualified from electing to be taxed as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost unless the Company is entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions. Taxable income from certain non-REIT activities is managed through a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”), which is subject to U.S. federal and applicable state and local corporate income taxes. As of March 31, 2020,2022, the Company believes it is in compliance with all applicable REIT requirements and had no significant taxes associated with ourits TRS.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, 2016-13,Financial Instruments Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”2016-13”), which establishes credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. The new approach changes the impairment model for most financial assets and will require the use of an “expected credit loss” model for financial instruments measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments. This model applies to trade and other receivables, loans, debt securities, net investments in leases and off-balance sheet credit exposures (such as loan commitments, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees not accounted for as insurance) and requires entities to estimate the lifetime expected credit loss on such instruments and record an allowance that represents the portion of the amortized cost basis that the entity does not expect to collect.

This allowance is deducted from the financial asset’s amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected. The new expected credit loss model will also apply to purchased financial assets with credit deterioration, superseding current accounting guidance for such assets. The amended guidance also amends the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities, requiring entities to determine whether all or a portion of the unrealized loss on such securities is a credit loss, and also eliminating the option for management to consider the length of time a security has been in an unrealized loss position as a factor in concluding whether or not a credit loss exists. The amended model states that an entity will recognize an allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities as a contra account to the amortized cost basis, instead of a direct reduction of the amortized cost basis of the investment, as under current guidance. As a result, entities will recognize improvements to estimated credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities immediately in earnings as opposed to in interest income over time. There are also additional disclosure requirements included in this guidance. The amended guidance is to be applied on a modified retrospective basis with the cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments recognized in retained earnings at the date of initial application. However, certain provisions of the guidance are only required to be applied on a prospective basis. That methodology replaces the probable, incurred loss model for those assets. The new standard is effective for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2023. 2022. While the Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-132016-13 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the ultimate impact will depend on the portfolio and facts and circumstances near the date of adoption.

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, 2018-19,Codification Improvementsto Topic 326, Financial Instruments Credit Losses (“ASU 2018-19”), which updated the effective dates of implementation to align the implementation date for annual and interim financial statements as well as clarify the scope of the guidance in ASU 2016-13.2016-13. This standard’s effective date is the same as ASU 2016-13.2016-13.

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, 2019-04,Codification Improvements to Topic 326. Financial Instruments Credit Losses (“ASU 2019-04”), which is intended to clarify the guidance introduced by ASU 2016-13.2016-13. This standard’s effective date is the same as ASU 2016-13.2016-13.

In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, 2019-05,Targeted Transition Relief for Topic 326. Financial Instruments Credit Losses (“ASU 2019-05”), which provides for an option to irrevocably elect the fair-value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis. Other than the Company’s investment in CMBS, the Company does not currently expect to elect the fair-value option for assets expected to be held at amortized cost. This standard’s effective date is the same as ASU 2016-13.2016-13.

In March 2020, the FASB issued AU 2020-04,Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the US GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from the U.S. Dollar London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance is effective upon issuance and generally may be elected over time through December 31, 2022. The Company has not adopted any of the optional expedients or exceptions through March 31, 2022 but will continue to evaluate the possible adoption of any such expedients or exceptions during the effective period as circumstances evolve.

5. Common Stock Investment

The Company owns approximately 25.8% of the total outstanding shares of NSP and thus can exercise significant influence over NSP and is accounted for under the equity method. The Company elected the fair-value option in accordance with ASC 825-10-10 for NSP.

The investment in NSP is a Level 3 asset in the fair value hierarchy and was initially measured using the entry price of the asset. The Company's valuation policy for common stock is to use readily available market prices on the relevant valuation date to the extent they are available. On a quarterly basis beginning March 31, 2021, the Company determines the value using widely accepted valuation techniques, including the discounted cash flow methodology whereby observable market terminal capitalization rates and discount rates are applied to the consolidated NSP cash flows, a top-down approach. In addition, as a secondary check for reasonableness, a bottoms-up approach was also used by valuing the wholly-owned self-storage assets in aggregate and development loans individually. In this bottoms-up approach, the discounted cash flow methodology is also applied to the self-storage assets owned by NSP. Additionally, the income approach is used to determine the fair value of the development loans owned by NSP whereby contractual cash flows are discounted at observable market discount rates. The valuation relies primarily on the top-down approach, but uses the bottoms-up approach to ensure reasonable accuracy.

Prior to the Formation Transaction, two of our subsidiaries entered into a loan and security agreement dated, July 12, 2019, with Freddie Mac (the “Credit Facility”). Under the Credit Facility, these entities borrowed approximately $788.8 million in connection with their acquisition of senior pooled mortgage loans backed by SFR properties (the “Underlying Loans”). No additional borrowings can be made under the Credit Facility and our obligations will be secured by the Underlying Loans. The Credit Facility is guaranteed by certain members of the Contribution Group.Group and the OP. The guarantors are subject to minimum net worth and liquidity covenants. The Credit Facility continues to be guaranteed by members of the Contribution Group and the OP as of March 31, 2020.2022. The Credit Facility was assumed by the Company as part of the Formation Transaction at carrying value, which approximated fair value. As such, the remaining outstanding balance of $788.8$788.8 million was contributed to the Company on February 11, 2020. Our borrowings under the Credit Facility will mature on July 12, 2029. However,2029; however, if an Underlying Loan matures prior to July 12, 2029, wethe Company will be required to repay the portion of the Credit Facility that is allocated to that loan.


As of March 31, 2022, the outstanding balance on the Credit Facility was $639.9 million.

In connection with certain of our previous CMBS acquisitions and a mezzanine debt investment, we, through the Subsidiary OPs, have borrowed approximately $297.0 million under our repurchase agreements and posted $2.1 billion par value of our CMBS B-Piece and CMBS I/O Strip investments as collateral as of March 31, 2022. The CMBS B-Pieces and CMBS I/O Strips held as collateral are illiquid and irreplaceable in nature. These assets are restricted solely to satisfy the interest and principal balances owed to the lender.

On October 15, 2020,the OP issued 7.50% Senior Unsecured Notes (the “OP Notes”) for an aggregate principal amount of $36.5 million and a coupon rate of 7.50%. The OP Notes are due October 15, 2025 and were sold at approximately 99% of par value for proceeds of approximately $36.1 million before offering costs. Additionally, the OP Notes are fully guaranteed by the Company in the event that the OP cannot satisfy the obligations of the OP Notes. As of March 31, 2022, any action required under the guaranty is considered remote.

On October 20, 2020, the Company acquired a portfolio of 18 mezzanine loans with an aggregate principal amount outstanding of approximately $97.9 million and a weighted average fixed interest rate of 7.54% for a price of 102% of the outstanding principal amount plus accrued interest of $0.3 million. Freddie Mac provided seller financing of approximately $59.9 million with a weighted average fixed interest rate of 0.30%. Proceeds from the OP Notes offering and cash on hand were used to fund the remainder of the purchase price.

On April 20, 2021, the Company issued $75 million in aggregate principal amount of its 5.75% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2026 (the “5.75% Notes”) at a price equal to 99.5% of par value for proceeds of approximately $73.1 million after original issue discount and underwriting fees. An account advised by NexAnnuity Asset Management, L.P., an affiliate of the Manager, purchased $2.5 million par value of the 5.75% Senior Unsecured Notes at issuance.

On December 20, 2021, the Company issued an additional $60.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.75% Notes at a price equal to 102.8% par value, including accrued interest, for proceeds of approximately $60.9 million after original issue discount and underwriting fees.

On January 25, 2022, the Company issued an additional $35.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.75% Notes at a price equal to 100.9% par value, including accrued interest, for proceeds of approximately $35.1 million after original issue discount and underwriting fees.

6. Preferred Stock

As of March 31, 2020 the Company held one preferred stock investment accounted for as a debt security held to maturity recorded at amortized cost. The preferred stock investment consists of 40,000 shares of preferred stock in Jernigan Capital, Inc., (“JCAP”), a publicly traded REIT that provides capital to private developers as well as owners and operators of self-storage facilities. The preferred stock pays a fixed quarterly cash dividend of 7% in addition to a quarterly stock dividend of $2.125 million payable on a pro rata basis to the holders of the preferred stock for the first three quarters of 2020 and for the first fiscal quarter of 2021.  For the last fiscal quarter of 2020 and for the second fiscal quarter of 2021, the stock dividend varies based on the underlying company’s incremental book value and past aggregate dividends among other things, but will be no less than $2.125 million on a pro rata basis to the holders of the preferred stock.

7.10. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair-value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering market-participant assumptions in fair-value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a fair-value hierarchy that distinguishes between market-participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market-participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy):

Level 1 inputs are adjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 1 inputs are adjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2 inputs are other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 2 inputs are other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates and yield curves, that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, related market activity for the asset or liability.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability and include situations where there is little, if any, related market activity for the asset or liability.

The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair-value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company may enter into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s borrowings. In order to minimize counterparty credit risk, the Company enters into and expects to enter into hedging arrangements only with major financial institutions that have high credit ratings.

The Company’s main objective in using interest rate derivatives is to add stability to interest expense related to floating rate debt. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate caps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate caps involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the contract in exchange for an up-front premium. On December 30, 2021, the Company, through a subsidiary, entered into a $32.5 million interest rate cap agreement at a strike rate of 2.29% to hedge the variable cash flows associated with the Company's floating rate debt. The interest rate cap terminates on June 1, 2024. 

Financial Instruments Carried at Fair Value

See Note 52 and Notes 4 through 6 for additional information.

Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest and dividends, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities and accrued interest payable approximated their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The estimated fair values of other financial instruments were determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair values. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company would realize on the disposition of the financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.


Long-term indebtedness is carried at amounts that reasonably approximate their fair value. In calculating the fair value of its long-term indebtedness, the Company used interest rate and spread assumptions that reflect current credit worthinesscreditworthiness and market conditions available for the issuance of long-term debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. These financial instruments utilize Level 2 inputs. inputs.

Amounts borrowed under master repurchase agreements are based on their contractual amounts that reasonably approximate their fair value given the short to moderate term and floating rate nature.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s common stock investment are the discount rate and terminal capitalization rate. Significant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.

Other Financial Instruments Carried at Fair Value

Redeemable noncontrolling interests in the OP have a redemption feature and are marked to their redemption value if such value exceeds the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the OP (see Note 10)13). The redemption value is based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the redemption date and therefore is calculated based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the balance sheet date. Since the valuation is based on observable inputs, such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, redeemable noncontrolling interests in the OP are classified as Level 2 if they are adjusted to their redemption value. At March 31, 2020,2022, the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the OP are valued at their carrying value on the consolidated balance sheet.Consolidated Balance Sheets (see Note 13).

10.13. Noncontrolling Interests

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in the Subsidiary Operating Partnerships

In connection with the Formation Transaction, the Contribution Group contributed assets to SPEs owned by subsidiary partnerships of the Company in exchange for limited partnership interests in subsidiary partnerships of the OP (the “Sub OPs”). Interests in the Sub OPs are represented by “Sub OP Units”. Net income (loss) is allocated to holders of Sub OP Units based upon net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders and the weighted-average number of Sub OP Units outstanding to total common shares plus Sub OP Units outstanding during the period. Capital contributions, distributions, and profits and losses are allocated to Sub OP Units in accordance with the terms of the partnership agreement of the Sub OPs. Each time the Sub OPs distribute cash, limited partners of the Sub OPs receive their pro-rata share of the distribution. Redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Sub OPs have a redemption feature and are marked to their redemption value if such value exceeds the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Sub OPs.

In connection with the issuance of Sub OP Units to the Contribution Group on February 11, 2020, the Sub OPs and the OP amended the partnership agreements of the Sub OPs (the “Sub OP Amendments”). Pursuant to the Sub OP Amendments, limited partners holding Sub OP Units have the right to cause the Sub OP to redeem their units at a redemption price equal to and in the form of the Cash Amount (as defined in the partnership agreement of the Sub OPs), provided that such OP Units have been outstanding for at least one year.

The OP is the general partner of the Sub OPs and may, in its sole discretion, purchase the Sub OP Units by paying to the Sub OP Unit holder either the Cash Amount or the OP Unit Amount (one OP Unit for each Sub OP Unit, subject to adjustment), as defined in the partnership agreement of the Sub OP. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a limited partner will not be entitled to exercise its redemption right to the extent the issuance of the OP Units to the redeeming limited partner would (1) be prohibited, as determined in the OP’s sole discretion, or (2) cause the acquisition of OP Units by such redeeming limited partner to be “integrated” with any other distribution of OP Units for purposes of complying with the Securities Act.

 

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in the OP

Interests in the OP held by limited partners are represented by OP Units. As of March 31, 2020,2022, the Company isholds the sole limited partnermajority economic interests in the OP. Net income (loss) is allocated to holders of OP Units based upon net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders and the weighted-average number of OP Units outstanding to total common shares plus OP Units outstanding during the period. Capital contributions, distributions and profits and losses are allocated to OP Units in accordance with the terms of the partnership agreement of the OP. Each time the OP distributes cash to the Company, limited partners of the OP receive their pro-rata share of the distribution. Redeemable noncontrolling interests in the OP have a redemption feature and are marked to their redemption value if such value exceeds the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the OP.

In connection with

Pursuant to the IPO on February 11, 2020, the Companysecond amended and the OP GP amendedrestated the partnership agreement of the OP (the “OP Amendment”LPA”). Pursuant to the OP Amendment,, limited partners holding OP Units have the right to cause the OP to redeem their units at a redemption price equal to and in the form of the Cash Amount (as defined in the partnership agreement of the OP)OP LPA), provided that such OP Units have been outstanding for at least one year. The Company may, in its sole discretion, purchase the OP Units by paying to the limited partner either the Cash Amount or the REIT ShareShares Amount (one(generally one share of common stock of the Company for each OP Unit),Unit, subject to adjustment) as defined in the partnership agreement of the OP.OP LPA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a limited partner will not be entitled to exercise its redemption right to the extent the issuance of the Company’s common stock to the redeeming limited partner would (1)(1) be prohibited, as determined in the Company’s sole discretion, under the Company’s charter or (2)(2) cause the acquisition of common stock by such redeeming limited partner to be “integrated” with any other distribution of the Company’s common stock for purposes of complying with the Securities Act. Accordingly, the Company records the OP Units held by noncontrolling limited partners outside of permanent equity and reports the OP Units at the greater of their carrying value or their redemption value using the Company’s stock price at each balance sheet date.

The Cash Amount is defined in the partnership agreement of the OP as the greater of the most recent NAV of the Company as determined by our Board and the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock, which because the Company’s common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) will be calculated for the ten consecutive trading days (the “Ten Day VWAP”) immediately preceding the date on which the general partner and primary beneficiary of the SubOP receives a notice of redemption from the limited partner, or the first business day thereafter (the “Valuation Date”).  The Ten Day VWAP calculated based on a Valuation Date of March 31, 2022 was $22.46, and there were 7,138,382 OP Units outstanding other than those held by the Company. Assuming that (1) the Ten Day VWAP exceeded the NAV, (2) all OP unitholders exercised their right to cause the OP to redeem all of their OP Units with a Valuation Date of March 31, 2022 and (3) the Company then elected to purchase all of the OP Units by paying the Cash Amount, the Company would have paid $160.3 million in cash consideration to redeem the OP Units.

On July 30, 2020, NREF OP IV, L.P. (“OP IV”), one of the Subsidiary OPs, consolidatesentered into subscription agreements with certain entities affiliated with the Sub OPs.Manager (the “Manager Affiliates”), which were then-current majority owners of OP IV, for 359,000 SubOP Units in OP IV for total consideration of approximately $6.6 million. On August 4, 2020, OP IV entered into additional subscription agreements with the Manager Affiliates for 267,320 SubOP Units in OP IV for total consideration of approximately $4.9 million. The total number of SubOP Units issued was calculated by dividing the total consideration by the combined book value of the Company’s common stock and the SubOP Units, on a per share or unit basis, as of June 30, 2020, or $18.33 per SubOP Unit.


On September 30, 2020, the unitholders (other than the OP) of OP IV exercised their redemption right for 100% of their units outstanding. Following direction and approval of the Board and the general partner of OP IV, the OP purchased the tendered OP IV units in exchange for an equal number of OP Units. After the transaction, OP IV is wholly owned by the OP. 

On September 8, 2021, the general partner of the OP executed the OP LPA for the purposes of creating a board of directors of the OP (the “Partnership Board”) and subdividing and reclassifying the outstanding OP Units into Class A, Class B and Class C OP Units. The OP LPA generally provides that the newly created Class A OP Units and Class B OP Units each have 50.0% of the voting power of the OP Units, including with respect to the election of directors to and removal of directors from the Partnership Board, and that the Class C OP Units have no voting power. The reclassification of the OP Units did not have a material effect on the economic interests of the holders of OP Units. In connection with the OP LPA, the OP Units held by the Company were reclassified into Class A OP Units, the OP Units held by NexPoint Diversified Real Estate Trust were reclassified into Class B OP Units and the remaining OP Units were reclassified into Class C OP Units.  

The Partnership Board of the OP has exclusive authority to select, remove and replace the general partner of the OP and no other authority. The Partnership Board may replace the general partner of the OP at any time. Pursuant to the terms of the OP LPA, the Company appointed Brian Mitts as the sole initial director of the Partnership Board. The number of directors on the Partnership Board is initially one but may be increased by following the affirmative vote or consent of the majority of the voting power of the OP Units (the “Requisite Approval”). The election of directors to and removal of directors from the Partnership Board also requires the Requisite Approval.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company owns 76.21% of the OP Units representing 100% of the Class A OP Units. See Note 11 for additional disclosures regarding redemption of OP Units.

The following table sets forth the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the OP (reflecting the OP’s consolidation of the SubSubsidiary OPs) for the three months ended March 31, 20202022 (in thousands):

On July 20, 2020, in connection with the anticipated issuance by the Company of the Series A Preferred Stock, the OP GP, following the direction and approval of the Board, amended the partnership agreement of the OP to provide for the issuance of 8.50% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units (liquidation preference $25.00 per unit) in our OP (the “Series A Preferred Units”). The Company contributed the net proceeds from the sale of the Series A Preferred Stock to the OP in exchange for the same number of Series A Preferred Units. The Series A Preferred Units have economic terms that are substantially the same as the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Units rank, as to distributions and upon liquidation, senior to OP Units. On March 31, 2021, in connection with the Company's ATM Program, the OP GP, following the direction and approval of the Board, further amended the partnership agreement of the OP to provide for the issuance of additional Series A Preferred Units.

Core Earnings

We use Core Earnings to evaluate our performance which excludes the effects of certain GAAP adjustmentsAvailable for Distribution and transactions that we believe are not indicative of our current operations and loan performance. Core EarningsCash Available for Distribution

EAD is a non-GAAP financial measuremeasure. EAD has replaced our prior presentation of performance.Core Earnings. In addition, Core Earnings results from prior reporting periods have been relabeled EAD. In line with evolving industry practices, we believe EAD more accurately reflects the principal purpose of the measure than the term Core Earnings and will serve as a useful indicator for investors in evaluating our performance and our long-term ability to pay distributions. EAD is defined as the net income (loss) attributable to our common stockholders computed in accordance with GAAP, including realized gains and losses not otherwise included in net income (loss), excluding any unrealized gains or losses or other similar non-cash items that are included in net income (loss) for the applicable reporting period, regardless of whether such items are included in other comprehensive income (loss), or in net income (loss) and adding back amortization of stock-based compensation.

We use EAD to evaluate our performance, which excludes the effects of certain GAAP adjustments and transactions that we believe are not indicative of our current operations and to assess our long-term ability to pay distributions. We believe providing Core EarningsEAD as a supplement to GAAP net income (loss) to our investors is helpful to their assessment of our performance. Core Earningsperformance and our long term ability to pay distributions. EAD does not represent net income or cash flows from operating activities and should not be usedconsidered as a substitute foran alternative to GAAP net income, (loss). The methodology used to calculate Core Earnings may differan indication of our GAAP cash flows from other REITs. As such,operating activities, a measure of our Core Earningsliquidity or an indication of funds available for our cash needs. Our computation of EAD may not be comparable to similar measures providedEAD reported by other REITs.

We also use Core EarningsEAD as a component of the management fee paid to our Manager. As consideration for the Manager’s services, we will pay our Manager an annual management fee of 1.5% of Equity, paid monthly, in cash or shares of our common stock at the election of our Manager. “Equity” means (a) the sum of (1) total stockholders’ equity immediately prior to our IPO, plus (2) the net proceeds received from all issuances of our common stockequity securities in and after the IPO, plus (3) our cumulative Core EarningsEAD from and after the IPO to the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter, (b) less (1) any distributions to our holders of common stockholdersstock from and after the IPO to the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter and (2) all amounts that we have paid to repurchase for cash the shares of our common stockequity securities from and after the IPO to the end of the most recently completed calendar quarter. In our calculation of Equity, we will adjust our calculation of Core EarningsEAD to (i) remove the compensation expense relating to awards granted under one or more of our long-term incentive plans that is added back in our calculation of Core EarningsEAD and (ii) adjust net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders for (x) one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and (y) certain material non-cash income or expense items, in each case of (x) and (y) after discussions between the Manager and independent directors of our Board and approved by a majority of the independent directors of our Board. Additionally, for the avoidance of doubt, Equity willdoes not include the assets contributed to us in the Formation Transaction.


CAD is a non-GAAP financial measure. We calculate CAD by adjusting EAD by adding back amortization of premiums, depreciation and amortization of real estate investment, amortization of deferred financing costs and by removing accretion of discounts and non-cash items, such as stock dividends. We use CAD to evaluate our performance and our current ability to pay distributions. We also believe that providing CAD as a supplement to GAAP net income (loss) to our investors is helpful to their assessment of our performance and our current ability to pay distributions. CAD does not represent net income or cash flows from operating activities and should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income, an indication of our GAAP cash flows from operating activities, a measure of our liquidity or an indication of funds available for our cash needs. Our computation of CAD may not be comparable to CAD reported by other REITs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for our ongoing commitments to repay borrowings, maintain our investments, make distributions to our stockholders and other general business needs. Our investments generate liquidity on an ongoing basis through principal and interest payments, prepayments and dividends. We believe that our available cash, expected operating cash flows, and potential debt or equity financings will provide sufficient funds for our operations, anticipated scheduled debt service payments, potential obligations to purchase up to $18.6 million of the Preferred Units and dividend requirements for the twelve-month period following March 31, 2022.

Our long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of acquiring additional investments, scheduled debt payments and distributions. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through various sources of capital, which may include future debt or equity issuances, net cash provided by operations and other secured and unsecured borrowings. Our leverage is matched in term and structure to provide stable contractual spreads which will protect us from fluctuations in market interest rates over the long-term; however, there are a number of factors that may have a material adverse effect on our ability to access these capital sources, including the state of overall equity and credit markets, our degree of leverage, borrowing restrictions imposed by lenders, general market conditions for REITs and our operating performance and liquidity. We believe that our various sources of capital, which may include future debt or equity issuances, net cash provided by operations and other secured and unsecured borrowings, will provide sufficient funds for our operations, anticipated debt service payments, potential obligations to purchase Preferred Units and dividend requirements for the long-term.

Our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources to date consist of cash generated from our operating results and the following:

KeyBank Bridge Facility

On February 7, 2020, we, through our subsidiaries, entered into a $95.0 million Bridge Facility with KeyBank and immediately drew $95.0 million to fund a portion of the Formation Transaction. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company used proceeds from the IPO to pay down the entirety of the Bridge Facility (see Note 4).  As of March 31, 2020, the facility is extinguished.

Freddie Mac Credit FacilityFacilities

Prior to the Formation Transaction, two of our subsidiaries entered into a loan and security agreement, dated July 12, 2019, with Freddie Mac (the “Credit Facility”). Under the Credit Facility, these entities borrowed approximately $788.8 million in connection with their acquisition of senior pooled mortgage loans backed by SFR properties (the “Underlying Loans”). No additional borrowings can be made under the Credit Facility, and our obligations will be secured by the Underlying Loans. The Credit Facility was assumed by the Company as part of the Formation Transaction. As such, the remaining outstanding balance of $788.8 million was contributed to the Company on February 11, 2020. Our borrowings under the Credit Facility will mature on July 12, 2029. However,2029; however, if an Underlying Loan matures prior to July 12, 2029, we will be required to repay the portion of the Credit Facility that is allocated to that loan (see Note 4).

Cash Generated from IPO

On February 11, 2020, we completed our IPO in which we sold 5,350,000 shares of common stock (including 350,000 shares pursuant to the partial exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares) at a price of $19.00 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $101.7 million. The IPO generated net proceeds of approximately $91.9 million to us after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $6.9 million and offering expenses of approximately $2.9 million.

We contributed the net proceeds from the IPO9 to our OP in exchangeconsolidated financial statements for limited partnership interests inadditional information). As of March 31, 2022, the OP and our OP contributedoutstanding balance on the net proceeds from the IPO to our Sub OPs for limited partnership interests in the Sub OPs. Our Sub OPs used the net proceeds from the IPO to repay the amount outstanding under the $95 million BridgeCredit Facility consistent with our investment strategy and guidelines.was $639.9 million. 


Repurchase Agreements

From time to time, we may enter into repurchase agreements to finance the acquisition of our target assets. Repurchase agreements will effectively allow us to borrow against loans and securities that we own in an amount equal to (1) the market value of such loans and/or securities multiplied by (2) the applicable advance rate. Under these agreements, we will sell our loans and securities to a counterparty and agree to repurchase the same loans and securities from the counterparty at a price equal to the original sales price plus an interest factor. During the term of a repurchase agreement, we will receive the principal and interest on the related loans and securities and pay interest to the lender under the repurchase agreement. At any point in time, the amounts and the cost of our repurchase borrowings will be based uponon the assets being financed. For example, higher risk assets will result in lower advance rates (i.e., levels of leverage) at higher borrowing costs. In addition, these facilities may include various financial covenants and limited recourse guarantees.

As discussed in Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements, in connection with our recent CMBS acquisitions, we, through the OP and the Subsidiary OPs, have borrowed approximately $297.0 million under our repurchase agreements and posted approximately $2.1 billion par value of our CMBS B-Piece and CMBS I/O Strip investments as collateral. The CMBS B-Pieces and CMBS I/O Strips held as collateral are illiquid and irreplaceable in nature. These assets are restricted solely to satisfy the interest and principal balances owed to the lender.

On March 15, 2022, the Company, the OP and the Manager separately entered into the 2022 Equity Distribution Agreements with the 2022 Sales Agents, pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell from time to time shares of the Company’s common stock and Series A Preferred Stock having an aggregate sales price of up to $100.0 million in the 2022 ATM Program. The 2022 Equity Distribution Agreements provide for the issuance and sale of common stock or Series A Preferred Stock by the Company through a sales agent acting as a sales agent or directly to the sales agent acting as principal for its own account at a price agreed upon at the time of sale. As of  March 31, 2022, pursuant to the 2022 Equity Distribution Agreements, the Company has sold 91,428 shares of its common stock and zero shares of Series A Preferred Stock for total gross sales of $2.1 million. For additional information about the 2022 ATM Program, see Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements.

Company Notes Offering

On April 20, 2021, the Company issued $75.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 5.75% Notes at a price equal to 99.5% of par value for proceeds of approximately $73.1 million after original issue discount and underwriting fees.

On December 20, 2021, the Company issued $60.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 5.75% Notes at a price equal to 102.8% of par value, including accrued interest, for proceeds of approximately $60.9 million after original issue discount and underwriting fees.

On January 25, 2022, the Company issued $35.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 5.75% Notes at a price equal to 100.9% of par value, including accrued interest, for proceeds of approximately $35.1 million after original issue discount and underwriting fees.

Secondary Public Offering

On August 18, 2021, the Company the OP and the Manager entered into the Underwriting Agreement with Raymond James as representative of the several Underwriters, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell 2,000,000 Firm Shares at a public offering price of $21.00 per share. The Company also granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 300,000 Option Shares. The Firm Shares were issued on August 20, 2021. On September 8, 2021, the Underwriters partially exercised the option to purchase 59,700 Option Shares. The 59,700 Option Shares were issued on September 10, 2021. For additional information about this public offering, see Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements.

LIBOR Transition

Approximately 5.5% of our portfolio by unpaid principal balance as of March 31, 2022 pays interest at a variable rate that is tied to LIBOR, and it is anticipated that future investments we make may have variable interest rates tied to LIBOR. On March 5, 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority of the U.K. (the “FCA”) announced that all of the LIBOR settings will either cease to be provided by any administrator or no longer be representative (i) immediately after December 31, 2021, in the case of the 1-week and 2-month US dollar settings; and (ii) immediately after June 30, 2023, in the case of the remaining one-month, three-month, six-month and twelve-month US dollar settings. The tenors that were extended to June 30, 2023 are more widely used and are the tenors used in our LIBOR-based debt. The U.S. Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a steering committee convened by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board and comprised of large U.S. financial institutions, has identified as a best-practice replacement the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), a new index calculated by short-term repurchase agreements backed by U.S. Treasury securities. Although there have been issuances utilizing SOFR, it is unknown whether SOFR or another alternative reference rate will attain market acceptance as a replacement for LIBOR. In connection with the foregoing, we may need to renegotiate some of our agreements to determine a replacement index or rate of interest. As of March 31, 2022, the Company has not received any LIBOR transition notices under its loan agreements. Any changes to benchmark interest rates could increase our financing costs, which could impact our results of operations, cash flows and the market value of our investments and result in mismatches with the interest rate of investments that we are financing. 

Other Potential Sources of Financing

We may seek additional sources of liquidity from further repurchase facilities, other borrowings and future offerings of common and preferred equity and debt securities.securities and contributions from existing holders of the OP or Subsidiary OPs. In addition, we may apply our existing cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operations to any liquidity needs. As of March 31, 2020,2022, our cash and cash equivalents were $0.2$35.2 million.

We believe that our available cash, expected operating cash flows, and potential debt or equity financings will provide sufficient funds for our operations, anticipated scheduled debt service payments and dividend requirements for the twelve-month period following March 31, 2020.

Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company Status

Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act, for complying with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of this extended transition period. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates for such new or revised standards. We may elect to comply with public company effective dates at any time, and such election would be irrevocable pursuant to Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act.

We are also a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, and may elect to take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies. We may be a smaller reporting company even after we are no longer an “emerging growth company.”


 

Income Taxes

We intend to electelected to be treated as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, beginning with our taxable year endingended December 31, 2020. We believe that our organization and proposed method of operation will enable us to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income to stockholders. As a REIT, we will be subject to federal income tax on our undistributed REIT taxable income and net capital gain and to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on any amount by which distributions we pay with respect to any calendar year are less than the sum of (1) 85% of our ordinary income, (2) 95% of our capital gain net income and (3) 100% of our undistributed income from prior years. Taxable income from certain non-REIT activities is managed through a TRS and is subject to applicable federal, state, and local income and margin taxes. We had no significant taxes associated with our TRS for the three months ended March 31, 2020.2022.

If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates, and dividends paid to our stockholders would not be deductible by us in computing taxable income. Any resulting corporate liability could be substantial and could materially and adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. Unless we were entitled to relief under certain Code provisions, we also would be disqualified from re-electing to be taxed as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year in which we failed to qualify to be taxed as a REIT.

We evaluate the accounting and disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing our tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” (greater than 50 percent probability) of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Our management is required to analyze all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, for all major jurisdictions, which include federal and certain states. We have no examinations in progress, and none are expected at this time.

We recognize our tax positions and evaluate them using a two-step process. First, we determine whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Second, we will determine the amount of benefit to recognize and record the amount that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. We had no material unrecognized tax benefit or expense, accrued interest or penalties as of March 31, 2020.2022.

Dividends

We intend to make regular quarterly dividend payments to holders of our common stock. We also intend to make the accrued dividend payments on the Series A Preferred Stock, which are payable quarterly in arrears as provided in the articles supplementary setting forth the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock. U.S. federal income tax law generally requires that a REIT distribute annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains. As a REIT, we will be subject to federal income tax on our undistributed REIT taxable income and net capital gain and to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on any amount by which distributions we pay with respect to any calendar year are less than the sum of (1) 85% of our ordinary income, (2) 95% of our capital gain net income and (3) 100% of our undistributed income from prior years. We intend to make regular quarterly dividend payments of all or substantially all of our taxable income, that is not used to pay a dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock to holders of our common stock out of assets legally available for this purpose, if and to the extent authorized by our Board. Before we make any dividend payments, whether for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise, we must first meet both our operating requirements and debt service on our debt payable. If our cash available for distribution is less than our taxable income, we could be required to sell assets, borrow funds or raise additional capital to make cash dividends, or we may make a portion of the required dividend in the form of a taxable distribution of stock or debt securities.

We will make dividend payments to holders of our common stock based on our estimate of taxable earnings per share of common stock, but not earnings calculated pursuant to GAAP. Our dividends and taxable income and GAAP earnings will typically differ due to items such as depreciation and amortization, fair-value adjustments, differences in premium amortization and discount accretion and non-deductible general and administrativeG&A expenses. Our quarterly dividends per share of our common stock may be substantially different than our quarterly taxable earnings and GAAP earnings per share. Our Board declared our first quarterly dividend of 20202022 to common stockholders of $0.2198$0.50 per share on March 16, 2020,February 17, 2022, which was paid on March 31, 2020 and funded out2022 to common stockholders of cash flows from operations.record as of March 15, 2022. On March 18, 2022, our Board declared a preferred stock dividend of $0.53125 per share, which was paid on April 25, 2022 to preferred stockholders of record as of April 14, 2022. 


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2020,2022, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Commitments and Contingencies

Except as otherwise disclosed in Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements, the Company is not aware of any contractual obligations, legal proceedings or any other contingent obligations incurred in the normal course of business that would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Critical AccountingPolicies and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate these judgments, assumptions and estimates for changes that would affect the reported amounts. These estimates are based on management’s historical industry experience and on various other judgments and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these judgments, assumptions and estimates. Below is a discussion of the accounting policies and estimates that we consider criticalinvolve significant estimation uncertainty that have or are reasonably likely to understandinghave a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations where there is uncertainty or where significant judgment is required.  operations. A discussion of recent accounting pronouncements and our significant accounting policies, including further discussion of the accounting policies described below, can be found in Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report.statements.

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The Company with the assistance of an independent valuations firm, performs a quarterly evaluation of loans classified as held for investment for impairment on a loan by loanloan-by-loan basis in accordance with ASC 310-10-35, Receivables, Subsequent Measurement (“ASC 310-10-35”). If we deem that it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts owed according to the contractual terms of a loan, impairment of that loan is indicated. If we consider a loan to be impaired, we will establish an allowance for loan losses, through a valuation provision in earnings that reduces carrying value of the loan to the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s contractual effective rate or the fair value of the collateral, if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. For non-impaired loans with no specific allowance, the Company determines an allowance for loan losses in accordance with ASC 450-20, Loss Contingencies (“ASC 450-20”), which represents management’s best estimate of incurred losses inherent in the portfolio at the balance sheet date, excluding impaired loans and loans carried at fair value. Management considers quantitative factors likely to cause estimated credit losses, including default rate and loss severity rates. The Company also evaluates qualitative factors such as macroeconomic conditions, evaluations of underlying collateral, trends in delinquencies and non-performing assets. Increases to (or reversals of) the allowance for loan loss are included in “Loan loss provision, net”benefit (provision)” on the accompanying Consolidated StatementStatements of Operations.

Significant judgment is required in determining impairment and in estimating the resulting loss allowance, and actual losses, if any, could materially differ from those estimates.

Income Recognition

Loans held-for-investment, available-for-sale securities, mortgage loans from the consolidated CMBS entities and debt securities held-to-maturity whereValuation of NSP, Inc.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company expects to collectowns approximately 25.8% of the contractual interesttotal outstanding shares of NSP, and, principal payments are considered to be performing loans.thus can exercise significant influence over NSP. The Company recognizes income on performing loans in accordance withelected the terms of the loan on an accrual basis. Interest income also includes amortization of loan premiums or discounts and loan origination costs.  We consider loans to be past due when a monthly payment is due and unpaid for 60 days or more.  Loans will be placed on nonaccrual status and considered non-performing when full payment of principal and interest is in doubt, which generally occurs when they become 120 days or more past due unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection.  Accrual of interest on individual loans is discontinued when management believes that, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, the borrower’s financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful. Our policy is to stop accruing interest when a loan’s delinquency exceeds 120 days. All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual status or subsequently charged-off are reversed against interest income. Income is subsequently recognized on the cash basis until, in management’s judgment, the borrower’s ability to make periodic principal and interest payments returns and future payments are reasonably assured, in which case the loan is returned to accrual status.

Formation Transaction

The Company commenced operations on February 11, 2020 upon the closing of its IPO. Prior to the closing of the IPO, the Company engaged in the Formation Transaction through which it acquired the Initial Portfolio consisting of SFR Loans, CMBS B-Pieces,  mezzanine loan and preferred equity investments in real estate companies and properties in other structured real estate investments within the multifamily, SFR and self-storage asset classes.  The Initial Portfolio was acquired from the Contribution Group pursuant to a


contribution agreement through which the Contribution Group contributed their interest in the Initial Portfolio to SPEs owned by subsidiary partnerships of the Company, in exchange for limited partnership interests in subsidiary partnerships of the OP.  The assets and liabilities constituting the Initial Portfolio were contributed at fair value using a cutoff date of January 31, 2020.  The mezzanine loan, preferred stock and preferred equity investments were valued using a discounted cash flow model using discount rates negotiated with the Contribution Group.  A third-party valuation firm was utilized to value the SFR Loans using the income approachfair-value option in accordance with ASC Topic 820.825-10-10. On a quarterly basis, the Company hires an independent third-party valuation firm to provide an updated fair value for subsequent measurement absent a readily available market price. The income approach utilizes avaluation is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including the discounted cash flow methodmethodology whereby observable market terminal capitalization rates and discount rates are applied to present value the expected future cash flows.  The futureprojected cash flows weregenerated by self-storage assets owned by NSP. The necessary inputs for the valuation include projected based on the terms of the loans including interest rates, current balances and servicing fees.  The future cash flows depend substantially on various otherof NSP, terminal capitalization rates and discount rates. These inputs are reflective of public company comparables, but are assumptions such as prepayment rates, prepayment charges, default rates, expected loss given default (severity), and other inputs.  The Credit Facility contributed along with the SFR Loans was also valued using the income approach as previously described.  The equity and financial liabilities of the consolidated CMBS B-Pieces were valued using broker quotes (see Note 2 for more information on our valuation methodologies).  The Bridge Facility was originated shortly before the closing of the IPO and was contributed at its carrying value which approximated fair value.  The fair values of the contributed cash and accrued interest and dividends approximated their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.  The fair values of the contributed assets described above were agreed upon by the Contribution Group and used to determine the number of Sub OP Units issued.  Any purchase premiums or discounts are amortized over the expected life of the investment.  

The following table shows the par values, fair values and purchase premiums (discounts) of the Initial Portfolio as February 11, 2020, the closing date of the IPO:

Valuation of CMBS Trusts

We report the financial assets and liabilities of each CMBS trust that we consolidate at fair value using the measurement alternative included in Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-13, Measuring the Financial Assets and the Financial Liabilities of a Consolidated Collateralized Financing Entity (“ASU 2014-13”). Pursuant to ASU 2014-13, we measure both the financial assets and financial liabilities of the CMBS trusts we consolidate using the fair value of the financial liabilities (which we consider more observable than the fair value of the financial assets) and the equity of the CMBS trusts beneficially owned by us.estimates. As a result, we presented the CMBS issued by the consolidated trusts, but not beneficially owned by us, as financial liabilities in our consolidated financial statements, measured at their estimated fair value; we measured the financial assets as the total estimateddetermination of fair value ofis uncertain because it involves subjective judgments and estimates that are unobservable. For the CMBS issued bythree months ended March 31, 2022, the consolidated trust, regardless of whether such CMBS represent interests beneficially owned by us. Under the measurement alternative prescribed by ASU 2014-13, our “Net income (loss)” reflects the economic interests in the consolidated CMBS beneficially owned by us, presented as “Change in net assetsunrealized gain related to consolidated CMBS variable interest entities”the change in our Consolidated Statements of Operations, which includes applicable (1) changes in the fair value of CMBS beneficially owned by us, (2) interest income, interest expenseestimate is $0.3 million. See Notes 5 and servicing fees earned from the CMBS trusts and (3) other residual returns or losses of the CMBS trusts, if any.

The financial liabilities and equity of the consolidated CMBS trusts are valued using broker quotes. Broker quotes represent the price that an investment could be sold10 for in a market transaction and represent fair market value. Loans and bonds with quotes that are based on actual trades with a sufficient level of activity on or nearadditional disclosures regarding the valuation date are classified as Level 2 assets. Loans and bonds that are priced using quotes derived from implied values, bid/ask prices for trades that were never consummated, or a limited amount of actual trades are classified as Level 3 assets because the inputs used by the brokers and pricing services to derive the values are not readily observable.NSP. 

REIT Tax Election

We intend to electelected to be treated as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we distribute at least 90% of our “REIT taxable income,” as defined by the Code, to our stockholders. Taxable income from certain non-REIT activities is managed through a TRS and is subject to applicable federal, state, and local income and margin taxes. We had no significant taxes associated with our TRS for the three months ended March 31, 2020.2022 and 2021. We believe that our organization and current and proposed method of operation will allow us to qualify for taxation as a REIT, but no assurance can be given that we will operate in a manner so as to qualify as a REIT.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We seek to manage our risks related to the credit quality of our assets, interest rates, liquidity prepayment rates and market value, while at the same time seeking to provide an opportunity for our stockholders to realize attractive risk-adjusted returns. While risks are inherent in any business enterprise, we seek to quantify and justify risks in light of available returns and to maintain capital levels consistent with the risks we undertake.

Credit Risk

Our investments are subject to credit risk, including the risk of default. The performance and value of our investments depend upon the ability of the sponsor or homeowner to pay interest and principal due to us. To monitor this risk, our Manager will use active asset surveillance to evaluate collateral pool performance and will proactively manage positions.

Credit Yield Risk

Credit yields measure the return demanded on financial instruments by the lending market based on their risk of default. Increasing supply of credit-sensitive financial instruments and reduced demand will generally cause the market to require a higher yield on such financial instruments, resulting in a lower price for the financial instruments we hold

Interest Rate Risk

Generally, the composition of our investments is such that rising interest rates will increase our net income, while declining interest rates will decrease net income. If interest rates decline, the value of our fixed-rate investments may increase and if interest rates were to increase, the value of these fixed-rate investments may decrease; however, the interest income generated by these investments would not be affected by market interest rates. Further, the interest rates we pay under repurchase agreements may be variable. Accordingly, our interest expense would generally increase as interest rates increase and decrease as interest rates decrease.

The following table shows the sensitivity of net interest income to 1/8th percent changes in interest rates for the Company’s floating rate assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2020:

In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (the authority that regulates LIBOR) announced it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”) has proposed that the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) is the rate that represents best practice as the alternative to USD-LIBOR for use in derivatives and other financial contracts that are currently indexed to USD-LIBOR. ARRC has proposed a paced market transition plan to SOFR from USD-LIBOR and organizations are currently working on industry wide and company specific transition plans as it relates to derivatives and cash markets exposed to USD-LIBOR. We have material contracts that are indexed to USD-LIBOR and are monitoring this activity and evaluating the related risks.

Prepayment risk

Prepayment risk is the risk that principal will be repaid at a different rate than anticipated, causing the return on certain investments to be less than expected. As we receive prepayments of principal on our assets, any premiums paid on such assets are amortized against interest income. In general, an increase in prepayment rates accelerates the amortization of purchase premiums, thereby reducing the interest income earned on the assets. Conversely, discounts on such assets are accreted into interest income. In general, an increase in prepayment rates accelerates the accretion of purchase discounts, thereby increasing the interest income earned on the assets.


Financing Risk

We may finance our target assets with borrowed funds under repurchase agreements and other credit facilities, Over time, as market conditions change, we may use other forms of leverage in addition to these methods of financing. Weakness or volatility in the financial markets, the commercial real estate and mortgage markets and the economy generally could adversely affect one or more of our lenders or potential lenders and could cause one or more of our lenders or potential lenders to be unwilling or unable to provide us with financing or to increase the costs of that financing.

Real Estate Risk

The market values of commercial mortgage assets are subject to volatility and may be adversely affected by a number of factors, including, but not limited to, national, regional and local economic conditions (which may be adversely affected by industry slowdowns and other factors); local real estate conditions; changes or continued weakness in specific industry segments; construction quality, age and design; demographic factors; and retroactive changes to building or similar codes. In addition, decreases in property values reduce the value of the collateral and the potential proceeds available to a borrower to repay the underlying loans, which could cause us to suffer losses.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) and Rule 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated, as of March 31, 2020,2022, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e). Based on that evaluation, our President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2020,2022, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the Exchange Act and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the President and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

We believe, however, that a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls systems are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud or error, if any, within a company have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15-d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three monthsquarter ended March 31, 20202022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—IIOTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are party to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Management is not aware of any legal proceedings of which the outcome is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition, nor are we aware of any such legal proceedings contemplated by government agencies.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Except as set forth below, there

There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed under the headingPart I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Prospectus forming a part of our Registration StatementAnnual Report on Form S-11, as amended,10-K filed with the SEC on February 10, 2020:28, 2022.

The current pandemic of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, and the future outbreak of other highly infectious or contagious diseases, could materially and adversely impact or disrupt our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance.

Since being reported in December 2019, COVID-19 has spread globally, including to every state in the United States. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and another pandemic in the future could have, repercussions across regional and global economies and financial markets. The outbreak of COVID-19 in many countries has significantly adversely impacted global economic activity and has contributed to significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets. The global impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving and, as cases of COVID-19 have continued to be identified in additional countries, many countries, including the United States, have reacted by instituting quarantines, mandating business and school closures and restricting travel.

Certain states and cities have reacted to the COVID-19 pandemic by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel, “shelter in place” rules, restrictions on the types of business that may continue to operate, and/or restrictions on the types of construction projects that may continue. We expect that additional states and cities will implement similar restrictions and cannot predict when such restrictions will expire. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic is negatively impacting almost every industry directly or indirectly and may adversely impact our performance or the value of underlying real estate collateral relating to our investments, increase the default risk applicable to borrowers and make it relatively more difficult for us to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns.

The COVID-19 outbreak, and future pandemics, could materially and adversely impact or disrupt our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance due to, among other factors:

reduced economic activity may cause certain borrowers underlying our real estate related assets and senior loans to become delinquent or default on their loans, or seek to defer payment on, or refinance, their loans;

41

reduced economic activity could result in a prolonged recession, which could negatively impact the value

difficulty accessing debt and equity capital on attractive terms, or at all, impacts to our credit ratings, and a severe disruption and instability in the global financial markets or deteriorations in credit and financing conditions may affect our access to capital necessary to fund business operations or address maturing liabilities on a timely basis, or at all;

the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic could negatively impact our future compliance with financial covenants in our debt obligations and result in a default and potentially an acceleration of indebtedness;

uncertainties created by the COVID-19 pandemic could make it difficult to estimate provisions for loan losses;

a general decline in business activity and demand for mortgage financing, servicing and other real estate and real estate related transactions, which could adversely affect our ability to make new investments or to redeploy the proceeds from repayments of our existing investments; and

the potential negative impact on the health of the employees of our Manager, particularly if a significant number of them are impacted, could result in a deterioration in our ability to ensure business continuity during this disruption.


The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including additional actions taken to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. The rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the full adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, the COVID-19 pandemic presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance. Moreover, many risk factors set forth in our Prospectus should be interpreted as heightened risks as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On June 10, 2019, in connection with our formation and initial capitalization, we issued 10 shares of common stock to Brian Mitts in exchange for $10.00 in cash. Such issuance was exempt from the requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof. These shares were repurchased by the Company at the closing of the IPO for $10.00.

Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities

On February 11, 2020, we sold 5,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $19.00 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $95.0 million. On February 25, 2020, we sold 350,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $19.00 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $6.7 million pursuant to the partial exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares.  In total, we sold 5,350,000 shares for gross proceeds of $101.7 million.  The shares offered and sold in the IPO were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-235698), as amended (the “Registration Statement”), which was declared effective by the SEC on February 6, 2020. The Registration Statement registered a total of 5,750,000 shares of common stock with a maximum aggregate offering price of up to approximately $120.8 million. Raymond James & Associates, Inc., Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. and Robert W. Baird & Co. Inc served as underwriters for the IPO.

The IPO generated net proceeds of approximately $91.9 million to us after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $6.9 million and offering expenses of approximately $2.9 million. Except as described herein, all of the expenses were direct or indirect payments to persons other than: (i) our directors, officers or any of their associates; (ii) persons owning ten percent (10%) or more of our common stock; or (iii) our affiliates. We contributed the net proceeds from the IPO to our OP in exchange for limited partnership interests in the OP and our OP contributed the net proceeds from the IPO to our Sub OPs for limited partnership interests in the Sub OPs. Our Sub OPs used the net proceeds from the IPO to repay the amount outstanding under the $95 million Bridge Facility, consistent with our investment strategy and guidelines.

Repurchase of Shares

On March 9, 2020, we announced that our Board authorized us to repurchase an indeterminate number of shares of our common stock at an aggregate market value of up to $10.0 million during a two-year period that is set to expire on March 9, 2022. We repurchased 87,466 shares of common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2020 as shown in the table below.
