| SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
| Dec. 31, 2016 |
| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation | The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, REIT Holdings, the Operating Partnership and their direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC. |
| Use of Estimates | The preparation of the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. |
| Reclassifications | Certain amounts in the Company’s prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have not changed the results of operations of prior periods. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company elected to early adopt ASU No. 2016-18 (as defined below). As a result, the Company no longer presents the changes within restricted cash in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Instead, restricted cash is included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning of period and end of period total amounts shown on the consolidated statements of cash flows. |
| Revenue Recognition | The Company leases apartment units under operating leases with terms generally of one year or less. Generally, credit investigations will be performed for prospective residents and security deposits will be obtained. The Company recognizes rental revenue, net of concessions, on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, when collectibility is reasonably assured. The Company will recognize gains on sales of real estate either in total or deferred for a period of time, depending on whether a sale has been consummated, the extent of the buyer’s investment in the property being sold, whether the receivable of the Company is subject to future subordination, and the degree of the Company’s continuing involvement with the property after the sale. If the criteria for profit recognition under the full-accrual method are not met, the Company will defer gain recognition and account for the continued operations of the property by applying the percentage-of-completion, reduced profit, deposit, installment or cost recovery method, as appropriate, until the appropriate criteria are met. Other income, including interest earned on the Company’s cash, is recognized as it is earned. |
| Real Estate, Depreciation and Amortization | Real estate properties are carried at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 40 years for buildings, 10 – 20 years for building improvements, 10 – 20 years for land improvements and five to 12 years for computer, furniture, fixtures and equipment. Costs directly associated with the development of land and those incurred during construction are capitalized as part of the investment basis. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred. Operating expenses incurred that are not related to the development and construction of the real estate investments are expensed as incurred. Repair, maintenance and tenant turnover costs are expensed as incurred and significant replacements and improvements are capitalized. Repair, maintenance and tenant turnover costs include all costs that do not extend the useful life of the real estate property. The Company considers the period of future benefit of an asset to determine its appropriate useful life. Intangible assets related to in-place leases are amortized to expense over the average remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective in-place leases. |
| Real Estate, Real Estate Acquisition Valuation | The Company records the acquisition of income-producing real estate or real estate that will be used for the production of income as a business combination. All assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured at their acquisition-date fair values. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and restructuring costs that do not meet the definition of a liability at the acquisition date are expensed in periods subsequent to the acquisition date. Intangible assets include the value of in-place leases, which represents the estimated value of the net cash flows of the in-place leases to be realized, as compared to the net cash flows that would have occurred had the property been vacant at the time of acquisition and subject to lease-up. Acquired in-place lease values are amortized to expense over the average remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective in-place leases. The Company assesses the acquisition-date fair values of all tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers, generally utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis that applies appropriate discount and/or capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors, including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions. The fair value of tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant. The Company records above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties based on the present value (using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of above-market in-place leases and for the initial term plus any extended term for any leases with below-market renewal options. The Company amortizes any recorded above-market or below-market lease values as a reduction or increase, respectively, to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective lease, including any below-market renewal periods. The Company estimates the value of tenant origination and absorption costs by considering the estimated carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods, considering current market conditions. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods. The Company amortizes the value of tenant origination and absorption costs to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining non-cancelable term of the leases. Estimates of the fair values of the tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities require the Company to make significant assumptions to estimate market lease rates, property-operating expenses, carrying costs during lease-up periods, discount rates, market absorption periods, and the number of years the property will be held for investment. The use of inappropriate assumptions would result in an incorrect valuation of the Company’s acquired tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities, which would impact the amount of the Company’s net income. |
| Real Estate, Impairments of Real Estate and Related Intangible Assets and Liabilities | The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of its real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities may not be recoverable or realized. When indicators of potential impairment suggest that the carrying value of real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities may not be recoverable, the Company will assess the recoverability by estimating whether the Company will recover the carrying value of the real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities through its undiscounted future cash flows and its eventual disposition. If, based on this analysis, the Company does not believe that it will be able to recover the carrying value of the real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities, the Company would record an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities. The Company did not record any impairment loss on its real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities during the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 . |
| Real Estate, Insurance Proceeds for Property Damage | The Company maintains an insurance policy that provides coverage for property damage and business interruption. Losses due to physical damage are recognized during the accounting period in which they occur while the amount of monetary assets to be received from the insurance policy is recognized when receipt of insurance recoveries is probable. Losses, which are reduced by the related probable insurance recoveries, are recorded as operating, maintenance and management expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Anticipated proceeds in excess of recognized losses would be considered a gain contingency and recognized when the contingency related to the insurance claim has been resolved. Anticipated recoveries for lost rental revenue due to property damage are also considered to be a gain contingency and recognized when the contingency related to the insurance claim has been resolved. |
| Cash and Cash Equivalents | The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents may include cash and short term investments. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. There are no restrictions on the use of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2016 . The Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance exceeds federally insurable limits as of December 31, 2016 . The Company monitors the cash balances in its operating accounts and adjusts the cash balances as appropriate; however, these cash balances could be impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail or are subject to other adverse conditions in the financial markets. To date, the Company has experienced no loss or lack of access to cash in its operating accounts. |
| Restricted Cash | Restricted cash is comprised of lender impound reserve accounts for property taxes and insurance proceeds for property damages. |
| Deferred Financing Costs | Deferred financing costs represent commitment fees, loan fees, legal fees and other third-party costs associated with obtaining financing and are presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability. These costs are amortized over the terms of the respective financing agreements using the interest method. Unamortized deferred financing costs are generally expensed when the associated debt is refinanced or repaid before maturity unless specific rules are met that would allow for the carryover of such costs to the refinanced debt. Deferred financing costs incurred before an associated debt liability is recognized are included in prepaid and other assets on the balance sheet. Costs incurred in seeking financing transactions that do not close are expensed in the period in which it is determined that the financing will not close. |
| Fair Value Measurements | Under GAAP, the Company is required to measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. In addition, the Company is required to measure other non-financial and financial assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis (e.g., carrying value of impaired real estate loans receivable and long-lived assets). Fair value, as defined under GAAP, is the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The GAAP fair value framework uses a three-tiered approach. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: • Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities; • Level 2: quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and • Level 3: prices or valuation techniques where little or no market data is available that requires inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. When available, the Company utilizes quoted market prices from independent third-party sources to determine fair value and classifies such items in Level 1 or Level 2. In instances where the market for a financial instrument is not active, regardless of the availability of a nonbinding quoted market price, observable inputs might not be relevant and could require the Company to make a significant adjustment to derive a fair value measurement. Additionally, in an inactive market, a market price quoted from an independent third party may rely more on models with inputs based on information available only to that independent third party. When the Company determines the market for a financial instrument owned by the Company to be illiquid or when market transactions for similar instruments do not appear orderly, the Company will use several valuation sources (including internal valuations, discounted cash flow analysis and quoted market prices) and will establish a fair value by assigning weights to the various valuation sources. Changes in assumptions or estimation methodologies can have a material effect on these estimated fair values. In this regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. The Company considers the following factors to be indicators of an inactive market: (i) there are few recent transactions, (ii) price quotations are not based on current information, (iii) price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers (for example, some brokered markets), (iv) indexes that previously were highly correlated with the fair values of the asset or liability are demonstrably uncorrelated with recent indications of fair value for that asset or liability, (v) there is a significant increase in implied liquidity risk premiums, yields, or performance indicators (such as delinquency rates or loss severities) for observed transactions or quoted prices when compared with the Company’s estimate of expected cash flows, considering all available market data about credit and other nonperformance risk for the asset or liability, (vi) there is a wide bid-ask spread or significant increase in the bid-ask spread, (vii) there is a significant decline or absence of a market for new issuances (that is, a primary market) for the asset or liability or similar assets or liabilities, and (viii) little information is released publicly (for example, a principal-to-principal market). The Company considers the following factors to be indicators of non-orderly transactions: (i) there was not adequate exposure to the market for a period before the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets or liabilities under current market conditions, (ii) there was a usual and customary marketing period, but the seller marketed the asset or liability to a single market participant, (iii) the seller is in or near bankruptcy or receivership (that is, distressed), or the seller was required to sell to meet regulatory or legal requirements (that is, forced), and (iv) the transaction price is an outlier when compared with other recent transactions for the same or similar assets or liabilities. |
| Dividend Reinvestment Plan | The Company has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan through which common stockholders may elect to reinvest an amount equal to the distributions declared on their shares in additional shares of the Company’s common stock in lieu of receiving cash distributions. Pursuant to the dividend reinvestment plan, the purchase price of shares of the Company’s common stock issued under the dividend reinvestment plan was equal to 95% of the price to acquire a share of common stock in one of the Company’s primary Offerings. At such time as the Company announces an estimated value per share of its common stock for a purpose other than to set the price to acquire a share in one of the primary Offerings, participants in the dividend reinvestment plan will acquire shares of common stock under the dividend reinvestment plan at a price equal to 95% of the estimated value per share of the Company’s common stock. On March 6, 2014, the Company’s board of directors approved an updated primary offering price for the Company’s common stock in the Follow-on Offering of $10.96 (unaudited) based on the estimated value of the Company’s assets less the estimated value of the Company’s liabilities, divided by the number of shares outstanding, all as of December 31, 2013 and increased for certain offering and other costs. Pursuant to the terms of the dividend reinvestment plan, effective on the next purchase date under the plan, which occurred on April 1, 2014, the purchase price per share under the dividend reinvestment plan was $10.42 , which is equal to 95% of $10.96 . On December 9, 2014, the Company’s board of directors approved an estimated value per share of the Company’s common stock of $10.14 (unaudited) based on the estimated value of the Company’s assets less the estimated value of the Company’s liabilities, divided by the number of shares outstanding, all as of September 30, 2014. Pursuant to the terms of the dividend reinvestment plan, effective on the next purchase date under the plan, which occurred on January 2, 2015, the purchase price per share under the dividend reinvestment plan was $9.64 , which is equal to 95% of $10.14 . On December 8, 2015, the Company’s board of directors approved an estimated value per share of the Company’s common stock of $10.29 (unaudited) based on the estimated value of the Company’s assets less the estimated value of the Company’s liabilities, divided by the number of shares outstanding, all as of September 30, 2015. Pursuant to the terms of the dividend reinvestment plan, effective on the next purchase date under the plan, which occurred on January 4, 2016, the purchase price per share under the dividend reinvestment plan was $9.78 , which is equal to 95% of $10.29 . On December 9, 2016, the Company’s board of directors approved an estimated value per share of the Company’s common stock of $9.35 (unaudited) based on the estimated value of the Company’s assets less the estimated value of the Company’s liabilities, divided by the number of shares outstanding, all as of September 30, 2016. Pursuant to the terms of the dividend reinvestment plan, effective on the next purchase date under the plan, which occurred on January 3, 2017, the purchase price per share under the dividend reinvestment plan is $8.89 , which is equal to 95% of $9.35 . The Company currently expects to utilize an independent valuation firm to update the estimated value per share in December 2017. The board of directors of the Company may amend or terminate the dividend reinvestment plan for any reason upon 10 days’ notice to participants. As provided under the dividend reinvestment plan, for a participant to terminate participation effective for a particular distribution, the Company must have received notice of termination from the participant at least four business days prior to the last business day of the month to which the distribution relates. Also as provided under the dividend reinvestment plan, and in addition to the standard termination procedures, a dividend reinvestment plan participant shall have no less than two business days after the date the Company publicly announces an updated estimated value per share in a filing with the SEC to terminate participation. |
| Redeemable Common Stock | Pursuant to the Company’s share redemption program, there are several limitations on the Company's ability to redeem shares: • Unless the shares are being redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability,” or “determination of incompetence” (both as defined in the share redemption program and together with redemptions in connection with a stockholder’s death, “Special Redemptions”), the Company may not redeem shares until the stockholder has held his or her shares for one year. • During any calendar year, the Company may redeem no more than 5% of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the prior calendar year. • The Company has no obligation to redeem shares if the redemption would violate the restrictions on distributions under Maryland law, which prohibits distributions that would cause a corporation to fail to meet statutory tests of solvency. • The Company may redeem only the number of shares that it could purchase with the amount of the net proceeds from the sale of shares under its dividend reinvestment plan during the prior calendar year; provided that it may not redeem more than $2.0 million of shares in the aggregate during any calendar year. Furthermore, during any calendar year, once the Company has redeemed $1.5 million of shares under its share redemption program, including in connection with Special Redemptions, the remaining $0.5 million of the $2.0 million annual limit shall be reserved exclusively for shares being redeemed in connection with Special Redemptions. Notwithstanding anything contained in this paragraph to the contrary, Company’s board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the share redemption program without stockholder approval upon 30 days’ notice, provided the Company may increase or decrease the funding available for the redemption of shares pursuant to the program upon ten business days’ notice to its stockholders. The Company may provide this notice by including such information (a) in a Current Report on Form 8-K or in the Company’s annual or quarterly reports, all publicly filed with the SEC or (b) in a separate mailing to its stockholders. In January 2016, the Company exhausted the $1.5 million of funds available for all redemptions for 2016 and in August 2016, the Company exhausted the remaining $0.5 million of funds available for Special Redemptions for 2016. As of December 31, 2016 , the Company had $1.4 million of outstanding and unfulfilled ordinary redemption requests and $0.3 million of outstanding and unfulfilled Special Redemption requests. The annual limitation was reset on January 1, 2017, and the Company had an aggregate of $2.0 million of funds available for all redemptions, subject to the limitations in the share redemption program, including the requirement that the first $1.5 million of funds is available for all redemptions and the last $0.5 million is available solely for Special Redemptions. The Company exhausted the $1.5 million of funds available for all redemptions for 2017 in January 2017 and an aggregate of $0.3 million of funds available for Special Redemptions for 2017 in January and February 2017. As such, the Company will only be able to process $0.2 million of redemption requests related to Special Redemptions for the remainder of 2017. Pursuant to the Company’s share redemption program, redemptions made in connection with a Special Redemption are made at a price per share equal to the most recent estimated value per share of the Company’s common stock as of the applicable redemption date. The price at which the Company redeems all other shares eligible for redemption is as follows: • For those shares held by the redeeming stockholder for at least one year, 92.5% of the Company’s most recent estimated value per share as of the applicable redemption date; • For those shares held by the redeeming stockholder for at least two years, 95.0% of the Company’s most recent estimated value per share as of the applicable redemption date; • For those shares held by the redeeming stockholder for at least three years, 97.5% of the Company’s most recent estimated value per share as of the applicable redemption date; and • For those shares held by the redeeming stockholder for at least four years, 100% of the Company’s most recent estimated value per share as of the applicable redemption date. If the Company cannot redeem all shares presented for redemption in any month because of the limitations on redemptions set forth in its share redemption program, then the Company will honor redemption requests on a pro rata basis, except that if a pro rata redemption would result in a stockholder owning less than the minimum purchase requirement described in the Company’s currently effective, or the most recently effective, registration statement as such registration statement has been amended or supplemented, then the Company would redeem all of such stockholder’s shares. On December 8, 2015, the Company’s board of directors approved an estimated value per share of its common stock of $10.29 (unaudited) based on the estimated value of the Company’s assets less the estimated value of its liabilities, divided by the number of shares outstanding, all as of September 30, 2015. For a full description of the assumptions and methodologies used to value the Company's assets and liabilities in connection with the calculation of the December 2015 estimated value per share, see the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 at Part II, Item 5, “Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities — Market Information.” On December 9, 2016, the Company’s board of directors approved an estimated value per share of the Company's common stock of $9.35 (unaudited) based on the estimated value of the Company’s assets less the estimated value of its liabilities, divided by the number of shares outstanding, all as of September 30, 2016. This estimated value per share became effective for the December 2016 redemption date, which was December 30, 2016. For a full description of the methodologies used to value the Company's assets and liabilities in connection with the calculation of the December 2016 estimated value per share, see Part II, Item 5, “Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities — Market Information” herein. The Company will record amounts that are redeemable under the share redemption program as redeemable common stock in its consolidated balance sheets because the shares will be mandatorily redeemable at the option of the holder and therefore their redemption will be outside the control of the Company. The maximum amount redeemable under the Company’s share redemption program is limited to the number of shares the Company could redeem with the amount of the net proceeds from the sale of shares under the dividend reinvestment plan during the prior calendar year; provided, that the Company may not redeem more than $2.0 million of shares in the aggregate during any calendar year. Furthermore, during any calendar year, once the Company has redeemed $1.5 million of shares under the share redemption program, including redemptions in connection with Special Redemptions, the remaining $0.5 million of the $2.0 million annual limit shall be reserved exclusively for shares being redeemed in connection with a Special Redemption. However, because the amounts that can be redeemed will be determinable and only contingent on an event that is likely to occur (e.g., the passage of time), the Company will present the net proceeds from the current year dividend reinvestment plan as redeemable common stock in its accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company will classify as liabilities financial instruments that represent a mandatory obligation of the Company to redeem shares. The Company’s redeemable common shares will be contingently redeemable at the option of the holder. When the Company determines it has a mandatory obligation to repurchase shares under the share redemption program, it will reclassify such obligations from temporary equity to a liability based upon their respective settlement values. During the year ended December 31, 2016 , the Company redeemed $2.0 million of common stock, which represented all redemption requests received in good order and eligible for redemption through the December 31, 2016 redemption date, except for 176,510 shares due to the limitations described above, of which 154,109 shares were redeemed in January 2017 and February 2017. The Company recorded $1.7 million of other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 related to these unfulfilled redemption requests. |
| Related Party Transactions | The Company has entered into the Advisory Agreement with the Advisor and the Follow-on Dealer Manager Agreement with the Dealer Manager. These agreements entitled the Advisor and/or the Dealer Manager to specified fees upon the provision of certain services with regard to the now-terminated Follow-on Offering and entitle the Advisor to specified fees upon the provision of certain services with regard to the management of the Company’s real estate properties, among other services (including, but not limited to, the disposition of investments), as well as reimbursement of organization and offering costs incurred by the Advisor and the Dealer Manager on behalf of the Company, such as expenses related to the dividend reinvestment plan, and certain costs incurred by the Advisor in providing services to the Company, such as acquisition expenses and certain operating expenses. In addition, the Advisor is entitled to certain other fees, including an incentive fee upon achieving certain performance goals, as detailed in the Advisory Agreement. On March 15, 2016, the Company and the Advisor entered into an amendment to the prior advisory agreement (the “Amended Advisory Agreement”) to amend certain terms related to the disposition fee payable to the Advisor by the Company. Prior to the amendment made in the Amended Advisory Agreement, the advisory agreement provided that if the Advisor or any of its affiliates provided a substantial amount of services (as determined by the conflicts committee) in connection with the sales of single assets, the Company would pay the Advisor or its affiliates a disposition fee of 1% of the contract sales price of the asset sold. The Amended Advisory Agreement provided that the 1% disposition fee may be payable upon the sale of a single asset or the sale of all or a portion of the Company’s assets through a portfolio sale, merger or other business combination transaction, if the conflicts committee determines that the Advisor or its affiliates has provided a substantial amount of services related to such sale. This change was included in the advisory agreement between the Company and the Advisor that was renewed on January 25, 2017. The Company has entered into a fee reimbursement agreement (the “AIP Reimbursement Agreement”) with the Dealer Manager pursuant to which the Company agreed to reimburse the Dealer Manager for certain fees and expenses it incurs for administering the Company’s participation in the DTCC Alternative Investment Product Platform (“AIP Platform”) with respect to certain accounts of the Company’s investors serviced through the platform. The Advisor and Dealer Manager also serve as the advisor and dealer manager, respectively, for KBS Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc., KBS Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc., KBS Real Estate Investment Trust III, Inc., KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc., KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT II, Inc. and KBS Growth & Income REIT, Inc. The Company records all related party fees as incurred, subject to any limitations described in the Advisory Agreement. The Company did not incurred any disposition fees, subordinated participations in net cash flows, or subordinated incentive listing fees during the year ended December 31, 2016 . |
| Related Party Transactions, Organization and Offering Costs | A portion of the organization and offering costs (other than selling commissions and dealer manager fees) of the Company are paid by the Advisor, the Dealer Manager or their affiliates on behalf of the Company. These organization and other offering costs include expenses paid by the Company in connection with the Follow-on Offering. Organization costs included all expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the formation of the Company, including but not limited to legal fees and other costs to incorporate the Company. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement and the Dealer Manager Agreement, the Company is obligated to reimburse the Advisor, the Dealer Manager or their affiliates, as applicable, for organization and offering costs paid by them on behalf of the Company, provided that the Advisor is obligated to reimburse the Company to the extent selling commissions, dealer manager fees and other organization and offering costs incurred by the Company in the Follow-on Offering exceed 15% of gross offering proceeds. As a result, the Company is only liable for these costs up to an amount that, when combined with selling commissions and dealer manager fees, does not exceed 15% of the gross proceeds of the Follow-on Offering. Organization costs were expensed as incurred, and offering costs, which included selling commissions and dealer manager fees, were deferred and charged to stockholders’ equity as such amounts were reimbursed to the Advisor, the Dealer Manager or their affiliates from the gross proceeds of the Follow-on Offering. |
| Related Party Transactions, Selling Commissions and Dealer Manager Fees | The Company paid the Dealer Manager up to 6.5% and 3.0% of the gross offering proceeds from the primary Follow-on Offering as selling commissions and dealer manager fees, respectively. A reduced sales commission and dealer manager fee was paid with respect to certain volume discount sales. No sales commission or dealer manager fee is paid with respect to shares issued through the dividend reinvestment plan. The Dealer Manager reallowed 100% of sales commissions earned to participating broker-dealers. The Dealer Manager could reallow to any participating broker-dealer up to 1% of the gross offering proceeds attributable to that participating broker-dealer as a marketing fee and, in special cases, the Dealer Manager could increase the reallowance. |
| Related Party Transactions, Acquisition Advisory Fee | The Company paid the Advisor an acquisition advisory fee equal to 1% of the cost of investments acquired, including any acquisition expenses and any debt attributable to such investments. |
| Related Party Transactions, Operating Expenses | Under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor has the right to seek reimbursement from the Company for all costs and expenses it incurs in connection with the provision of services to the Company, including the Company’s allocable share of the Advisor’s overhead, such as rent, employee costs, accounting software and cybersecurity costs. In addition, the Sub-Advisor has the right to seek reimbursement for certain marketing research costs and property pursuit costs it incurs. Commencing July 1, 2010, the Company has reimbursed the Advisor for the Company’s allocable portion of the salaries, benefits and overhead of internal audit department personnel providing services to the Company. In the future, the Advisor may seek reimbursement for additional employee costs. The Company will not reimburse the Advisor for employee costs in connection with services for which the Advisor earns acquisition, origination or disposition fees (other than reimbursement of travel and communication expenses) or for the salaries and benefits the Advisor or its affiliates may pay to the Company’s executive officers. |
| Related Party Transactions, Assets Management Fee | Until August 13, 2013, the asset management fee payable to the Advisor with respect to investments in real estate was equal to one twelfth of 1.0% of the amount paid to fund the acquisition, development, construction or improvement of the investment, inclusive of acquisition expenses related thereto (but excluding any acquisition fees related thereto). The amount paid included any portion of the investment that was debt financed. In the case of investments made through joint ventures, the asset management fee was determined based on the Company’s proportionate share of the underlying investment. Effective August 14, 2013, the asset management fee payable by the Company to the Advisor with respect to investments in real estate is a monthly fee equal to the lesser of one-twelfth of (i) 1.0% of the amount paid or allocated to fund the acquisition, development, construction or improvement of the property (whether at or subsequent to acquisition), including acquisition expenses and budgeted capital improvement costs (regardless of the level of debt used to finance the investment), and (ii) 2.0% of the amount paid or allocated to fund the acquisition, development, construction or improvement of the property (whether at or subsequent to acquisition), including acquisition expenses and budgeted capital improvement costs, less any debt used to finance the investment. For more information, see Note 6, “Related Party Transactions - Advisory Agreement - Asset Management Fee.” |
| Property Management Fees | During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company, through indirect wholly owned subsidiaries (each, a “Property Owner”), entered into property management agreements with Legacy Partners, Inc., formerly known as Legacy Partners Residential, Inc. (“LPI”), an affiliate of the Sub-Advisor (each, a “Property Management Agreement”), pursuant to which LPI will provide, among other services, general property management services, including bookkeeping and accounting services for each of the Company’s real estate properties. Under the Property Management Agreements, each Property Owner will pay LPI: (i) a monthly fee based on the Management Fee Percentage (as described below), (ii) a construction supervision fee equal to a percentage of construction costs to the extent overseen by LPI and as further detailed in each Property Management Agreement, (iii) a leasing commission at a rate to be agreed upon between the Property Owner and LPI for retail leases executed that were procured or obtained by LPI, (iv) certain reimbursements if included in an approved capital budget and (v) certain reimbursements if included in the approved operating budget, including the reimbursement of the salaries and benefits for on-site personnel.

| Insurance Program | On January 6, 2014, the Company, together with KBS Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc., KBS Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc., KBS Real Estate Investment Trust III, Inc., KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc., KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT II, Inc., the Dealer Manager, the Advisor and other KBS-affiliated entities, entered into an errors and omissions and directors and officers liability insurance program where the lower tiers of such insurance coverage are shared. The cost of these lower tiers is allocated by the Advisor and its insurance broker among each of the various entities covered by the program, and is billed directly to each entity. The allocation of these shared coverage costs is proportionate to the pricing by the insurance marketplace for the first tiers of directors and officers liability coverage purchased individually by each REIT. The Advisor’s and the Dealer Manager’s portion of the shared lower tiers’ cost is proportionate to the respective entities’ prior cost for the errors and omissions insurance. In June 2015, KBS Growth & Income REIT, Inc. was added to the insurance program at terms similar to those described above. The Company has renewed its participation in the program, and the program is effective through June 30, 2017. |
| Income Taxes | The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of the Company’s annual REIT taxable income to its stockholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends-paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income that it distributes as dividends to its stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants the Company relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially and adversely affect the Company’s net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, the Company believes that it is organized and operates in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT. The Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its financial statements. Neither the Company nor its subsidiaries have been assessed interest or penalties by any major tax jurisdictions. The Company’s evaluations were performed for all open tax years through December 31, 2016 . As of December 31, 2016 , returns for calendar years 2011 through 2015 remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions. |
| Segments | The Company had invested in 11 apartment complexes as of December 31, 2016 . Substantially all of the Company’s revenue and net (loss) is from real estate, and therefore, the Company currently operates in one reportable segment. |
| Per Share Data | Basic net income (loss) per share of common stock is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding during such period. Diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock equals basic net income (loss) per share of common stock as there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 . Distributions declared per common share were $0.650 for the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Distributions declared per common share assumes each share was issued and outstanding each day from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2016 . For each day that was a record date for distributions during the period from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2016 , distributions were calculated at a rate of $0.00178082 per share per day. Each day during the periods from January 1, 2014 through February 28, 2016 and March 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016 was a record date for distributions. |

| Recently Issued Accounting Standards Update | In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU No. 2014-09”). ASU No. 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize the revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. ASU No. 2014-09 supersedes the revenue requirements in Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. ASU No. 2014-09 does not apply to lease contracts within the scope of Leases (Topic 840). ASU No. 2014-09 was to be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and is to be applied retrospectively, with early application not permitted. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date (“ASU No. 2015-14”), which defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 by one year. Early adoption is permitted but not before the original effective date. As the primary source of revenue for the Company is generated through leasing arrangements, which are scoped out of this standard, the Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 to have a significant impact on its financial statements. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements ( Subtopic 205-40 ), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU No. 2014-15”). The amendments in ASU No. 2014-15 require management to evaluate, for each annual and interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or are available to be issued when applicable) and, if so, provide related disclosures. ASU No. 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The adoption of ASU No. 2014-15 did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements, although it could require additional disclosures in future periods if conditions or events exist that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU No. 2016-01”). The amendments in ASU No. 2016-01 address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU No. 2016-01 primarily affects accounting for equity investments and financial liabilities where the fair value option has been elected. ASU No. 2016-01 also requires entities to present financial assets and financial liabilities separately, grouped by measurement category and form of financial asset in the balance sheet or in the accompanying notes to the financial statements. ASU No. 2016-01 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2016-01 to have a significant impact on its financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU No. 2016-02”). The amendments in ASU No. 2016-02 change the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 as of its issuance is permitted. The new leases standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new leases standard on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU No. 2016-15”). ASU No. 2016-15 is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-15 provide guidance on eight specific cash flow issues, including the following that are or may be relevant to the Company: (a) Cash payments for debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs should be classified as cash outflows for financing activities; (b) Cash payments relating to contingent consideration made soon after an acquisition’s consummation date (i.e., approximately three months or less) should be classified as cash outflows for investing activities. Payments made thereafter should be classified as cash outflows for financing activities up to the amount of the original contingent consideration liability. Payments made in excess of the amount of the original contingent consideration liability should be classified as cash outflows for operating activities; (c) Cash payments received from the settlement of insurance claims should be classified on the basis of the nature of the loss (or each component loss, if an entity receives a lump-sum settlement); (d) In the absence of specific guidance, an entity should classify each separately identifiable cash source and use on the basis of the nature of the underlying cash flows. For cash flows with aspects of more than one class that cannot be separated, the classification should be based on the activity that is likely to be the predominant source or use of cash flow. ASU No. 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is still evaluating the impact of adopting ASU No. 2016-15 on its financial statements, but does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2016-15 to have a material impact to its financial statements. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (“ASU No. 2016-18”). ASU No. 2016-18 requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning of period and end of period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. ASU No. 2016-18 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company elected to early adopt ASU No. 2016-18 for the reporting period ending December 31, 2016 and was applied retrospectively. As a result of the adoption of ASU No. 2016-18, the Company no longer presents the changes within restricted cash in the consolidated statements of cash flows. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU No. 2017-01”) to add guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. ASU No. 2017-01 provides a screen to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities (collectively referred to as a “set”) is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. If the screen is not met, ASU No. 2017-01 (1) requires that to be considered a business, a set must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output and (2) removes the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace missing elements. ASU No. 2017-01 provides a framework to assist entities in evaluating whether both an input and a substantive process are present. The framework includes two sets of criteria to consider that depend on whether a set has outputs. Although outputs are not required for a set to be a business, outputs generally are a key element of a business; therefore, the FASB has developed more stringent criteria for sets without outputs. ASU No. 2017-01 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments can be applied to transactions occurring before the guidance was issued (January 5, 2017) as long as the applicable financial statements have not been issued. The Company elected to early adopt ASU No. 2017-01 for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2017. As a result of the adoption of ASU No. 2017-01, the Company’s acquisitions of investment properties beginning January 1, 2017 could qualify as an asset acquisition (as opposed to a business combination). Therefore, transaction costs associated with asset acquisitions will be capitalized, while these costs associated with business combinations will continue to be expensed as incurred. |
