Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Organization and Operations | Organization and Operations American Homes 4 Rent is a Maryland REIT formed on October 19, 2012. We are focused on acquiring, renovating, leasing and operating single-family homes as rental properties. As of December 31, 2016 , the Company held 48,422 single-family properties in 22 states, including 1,119 properties held for sale, compared to 38,780 single-family properties in 22 states, including 45 properties held for sale, as of December 31, 2015 . From our formation through June 10, 2013, we were externally managed and advised by American Homes 4 Rent Advisor, LLC (the "Advisor") and the leasing, managing and advertising of our properties were overseen and directed by American Homes 4 Rent Management Holdings, LLC (the "Property Manager"), both of which were subsidiaries of AH LLC. On June 10, 2013, we acquired the Advisor and the Property Manager from AH LLC in exchange for 4,375,000 Series D convertible units and 4,375,000 Series E convertible units in our operating partnership, therefore internalizing our management including all administrative, financial, property management, marketing and leasing personnel, including executive management. The Company consolidates the Advisor and the Property Manager and the results of these operations are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Effective August 31, 2016, AH LLC was liquidated and its ownership interests in the operating partnership were distributed to its members. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies | Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the operating partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company consolidates real estate partnerships and other entities that are not variable interest entities ("VIEs") when it owns, directly or indirectly, a majority interest in the entity or is otherwise able to control the entity. The Company consolidates VIEs in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation, if it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE as determined by its power to direct the VIE's activities and the obligation to absorb its losses or the right to receive its benefits, which are potentially significant to the VIE. Entities for which the Company owns an interest, but does not consolidate, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting as an investment in unconsolidated subsidiary and are included in escrow deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets within the consolidated balance sheets. Ownership interests in certain consolidated subsidiaries of the Company held by outside parties are included in noncontrolling interest in the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Any references in this report to the number of properties is outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s review of our financial statements, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB"). In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been made. Effective January 1, 2016, in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, deferred financing costs, net of amortization, related to our asset-backed securitizations have been classified in asset-backed securitizations, net within the consolidated balance sheets. Prior to January 1, 2016, these costs were included in deferred costs and other intangibles, net within the consolidated balance sheets. All prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. This resulted in the reclassification of $56.6 million of deferred financing costs, net of amortization, from deferred costs and other intangibles, net to asset-backed securitizations, net as of December 31, 2015, in the consolidated balance sheets. Effective January 1, 2016, due to the stabilization of our portfolio and the majority of our properties having been initially leased, vacant single-family properties and other expenses have been reclassified in the consolidated statements of operations, with vacant single-family property operating expenses combined with leased single-family property operating expenses, which are both included in property operating expenses within the consolidated statements of operations, and other expenses reclassified to other expenses within the consolidated statements of operations. This resulted in the reclassification of the $15.0 million and $22.9 million of vacant single-family properties and other expenses for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, with $11.2 million and $19.3 million , respectively, of vacant single-family property operating expenses reclassified to property operating expenses and $3.8 million and $3.6 million , respectively, of other expenses reclassified to other expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Effective July 1, 2016, due to recently increased volume in the Company's sales of single-family properties, gains and losses from the sales of single-family properties have been included in gain on sale of single-family properties, net within the consolidated statements of operations. Prior period net gains from the sales of single-family properties, which totaled $0.2 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, and June 30, 2016, respectively, were previously included in other revenues and have been reclassified to gain on sale of single-family properties, net to conform to the current presentation. Prior year net gains and losses from the sales of single-family properties have not been reclassified as the amounts were immaterial. Effective December 31, 2016, in accordance with our adoption of ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash , the Company includes restricted cash together with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and ending balances shown in the statements of cash flows, which has the effect of excluding the presentation of transfers between restricted and unrestricted cash amounts in the statements of cash flows. Prior to the adoption, the beginning and ending balances presented in the statements of cash flows included only cash and cash equivalents, and transfers between restricted and unrestricted cash amounts were presented within operating and investing activities based on the nature of the amounts. All prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. This resulted in $111.3 million , $77.2 million and $26.4 million of restricted cash as of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, being added to cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Income Taxes We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 to 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), which commenced with our taxable year ended December 31, 2012. We believe that we have operated, and continue to operate, in such a manner as to satisfy the requirements for qualification as a REIT. Accordingly, we will not be subject to federal income tax, provided that we qualify as a REIT and our distributions to our shareholders equal or exceed our REIT taxable income. However, qualification and taxation as a REIT depends upon our ability to meet the various qualification tests imposed under the Code, including tests related to the percentage of income that we earn from specified sources and the percentage of our earnings that we distribute to our shareholders. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that we will continue to be organized or be able to operate in a manner so as to remain qualified as a REIT. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year and do not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, our income would be subject to U.S. federal income tax and state income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate tax rates, and we would likely be precluded from qualifying for treatment as a REIT until the fifth calendar year following the year in which we fail to qualify. Even if we qualify as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state or local income and capital taxes and U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income, if any. Our TRSs will be subject to federal, state and local taxes on their income at regular corporate rates. The tax years from 2012 through 2016 remain open to examination by the taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject. ASC 740-10, Income Taxes, requires recognition of deferred tax assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. We recognize tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained, based solely on its technical merits, with the taxing authority having full authority of all relevant information. The measurement of a tax benefit for an uncertain tax position that meets the "more likely than not" threshold is based on a cumulative probability model under which the largest amount of tax benefit recognized is the amount with a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority having full knowledge of all the relevant information. As of December 31, 2016 , there were no deferred tax assets and liabilities or unrecognized tax benefits recorded. We do not anticipate a significant change in unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months. Investments in Real Estate Transactions in which single-family properties purchased are not subject to an existing lease are treated as asset acquisitions and, as such, are recorded at their purchase price, including acquisition costs, which is allocated to land and building based upon their relative fair values at the date of acquisition. Single-family properties that are acquired either subject to an existing lease or as part of a portfolio level transaction are treated as a business combination under ASC 805, Business Combinations , and, as such, are recorded at fair value, allocated to land, building and the existing lease, if applicable, based upon their fair values at the date of acquisition, with acquisition fees and other costs expensed as incurred. Fair value is determined in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , and is primarily based on unobservable data inputs. In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating the purchase price of individually acquired properties subject to an existing lease, the Company utilizes its own market knowledge and published market data. In this regard, the Company also utilizes information obtained from county tax assessment records to assist in the determination of the fair value of the land and building. The Company generally engages a third-party valuation specialist to assist management in the determination of fair value for purposes of allocating the purchase price of properties acquired as part of portfolio level transactions. The value of acquired lease-related intangibles is estimated based upon the costs we would have incurred to lease the property under similar terms. Such costs are capitalized and amortized over the remaining life of the lease. Acquired leases are generally short-term in nature (less than one year). The nature of our business requires that in certain circumstances we acquire single-family properties subject to existing liens. Liens that we expect to be extinguished in cash are estimated and accrued for on the date of acquisition and recorded as a cost of the property. We incur costs to prepare our acquired properties for rental. These costs, along with related holding costs, are capitalized to the cost of the property during the period the property is undergoing activities to prepare it for its intended use. We capitalize interest costs as a cost of the property only during the period for which activities necessary to prepare an asset for its intended use are ongoing, provided that expenditures for the asset have been made and interest costs have been incurred. Upon completion of the renovation of our properties, all costs of operations, including repairs and maintenance, are expensed as incurred. Single-family Properties Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations Single-family properties are classified as held for sale when they meet the applicable GAAP criteria, including, but not limited to, the availability of the home for immediate sale in its present condition, the existence of an active program to locate a buyer and the probable sale of the home within one year. Single-family properties classified as held for sale are reported at the lower of their carrying value or estimated fair value less costs to sell, and are presented separately in single-family properties held for sale, net within the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , the Company had 1,119 and 45 single-family properties, respectively, classified as held for sale, and recorded $5.0 million of impairment on single-family properties held for sale for the year ended December 31, 2016 , which was included in other expenses within the consolidated statements of operations. The results of operations of properties that have either been sold or classified as held for sale, if due to a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on our operations or financial results, are reported in the consolidated statements of operations as discontinued operations for both current and prior periods presented through the date of the applicable disposition in accordance with ASU No. 2014-08 ("ASU 2014-08"), "Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, " which the Company adopted January 1, 2015, on a prospective basis. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2014-08, gains on dispositions of single-family properties that had been in operation were included in income from discontinued operations, whereas gains on dispositions of single-family properties with no historical or immaterial operating results were included in other revenues within the consolidated statements of operations. Impairment of Long-lived Assets We evaluate our long-lived assets for impairment periodically or whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Significant indicators of impairment may include, but are not limited to, declines in home values, rental rates and occupancy percentages, as well as significant changes in the economy. If an impairment indicator exists, we compare the expected future undiscounted cash flows against the net carrying amount. If the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows is less than the net carrying amount, we record an impairment loss for the difference between the estimated fair value of the individual property and the carrying amount of the property at that date. No material impairments were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 . Leasing Costs Direct and incremental costs incurred to lease properties are capitalized and amortized over the term of the leases, which generally have a term of one year. Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of buildings, improvements and other assets. Buildings are depreciated over 30 years and improvements and other assets are depreciated over their estimated economic useful lives, generally 3 to 30 years. We consider the value of in-place leases in the allocation of the purchase price, and amortize such amounts on a straight-line basis over the remaining terms of the leases. The unamortized portion of the value of in-place leases is included in deferred costs and other intangibles, net within the consolidated balance sheets. Intangible Assets Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the asset's estimated economic life and are tested for impairment based on undiscounted cash flows and, if impaired, are written down to fair value based on discounted cash flows. The identified intangible assets are amortized over amortizable lives of 4.7 years for trademark and 7.0 years for database. The Company reviews finite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of an asset is less than its net book value, an impairment loss is recognized. Measurement of an impairment loss is based on the fair value of an asset. No impairment was recorded during the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 . Goodwill Goodwill represents the fair value in excess of the tangible and separately identifiable intangible assets that were acquired in connection with the internalization of the Company's management function, including all administrative, financial, property management, marketing and leasing personnel, including executive management, in 2013. Goodwill has an indefinite life and is therefore not amortized. The Company analyzes goodwill for impairment on an annual basis pursuant to ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other , which permits us to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount as a basis to determine whether the two-step impairment test is necessary. This qualitative assessment requires judgment to be applied in evaluating the effects of multiple factors, including actual and projected financial performance of the reporting unit, industry and market conditions, macroeconomic conditions, and other relevant entity specific events. We also have the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to performing the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. The first step in the impairment test compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds fair value, the second step is required to determine the amount of the impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. Impairment charges, if any, are recognized in operating results. No goodwill impairment was recorded during the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 . Additionally, the Company allocated a portion of goodwill to the carrying values of our leased properties sold, calculated as the sales price of the leased property over the fair value of the Company's total portfolio of single-family properties, which resulted in a reduction to the gain on sale of the property. The amount of goodwill allocated to leased properties sold during the year ended December 31, 2016 , was $0.4 million , which reduced goodwill to $120.3 million as of December 31, 2016 , compared to $120.7 million as of December 31, 2015 . Deferred Financing Costs Financing costs related to the origination of the Company's revolving credit facility are deferred and amortized as interest expense on an effective interest method over the contractual term of the applicable financing. They are presented net of accumulated amortization and have been included in deferred costs and other intangibles, net within the consolidated balance sheets. Financing costs related to the origination of the Company's term loan credit facility and asset-backed securitizations are also deferred and amortized as interest expense on an effective interest method over the contractual term of the applicable financing. They are presented net of accumulated amortization and are netted against the related debt instrument under liabilities within the consolidated balance sheets. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash We consider all demand deposits, cashier's checks, money market accounts and certificates of deposit with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We maintain our cash and cash equivalents and escrow deposits at financial institutions. The combined account balances typically exceed the FDIC insurance coverage, and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit. We believe that the risk is not significant. Restricted cash primarily consists of funds held related to resident security deposits and cash reserves in accordance with certain loan agreements. Funds held related to resident security deposits are restricted during the term of the related lease agreement, which is generally one year. Cash reserved in connection with lender requirements is restricted during the term of the related debt instrument. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash per the consolidated statements of cash flows to the corresponding financial statement line items in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 : December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Balance Sheet: Cash and cash equivalents 118,799 57,686 108,787 Restricted cash 131,442 111,282 77,198 Statement of Cash Flows: Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash 250,241 168,968 185,985 Escrow Deposits Escrow deposits include refundable and non-refundable cash earnest money deposits for the purchase of properties. In addition, escrow deposits include amounts paid for single-family properties in certain states which require a judicial order when the risk and rewards of ownership of the property are transferred and the purchase is finalized. Nonperforming Loans Nonperforming loans are carried at cost and placed on nonaccrual status as it is probable that the principal or interest is not fully collectible. For nonperforming loans that are converted into a home through foreclosure or other form of resolution, the Company adjusts the property value to market value and it is moved into single-family properties in the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2016 , the Company had a total investment of $0.2 million in three nonperforming loans, compared to $34.6 million in 265 nonperforming loans as of December 31, 2015 . These investments were included in escrow deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets within the consolidated balance sheets. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses that may result from the inability of tenants to make required rent or other payments. This allowance is estimated based on, among other considerations, payment histories, overall delinquencies and available security deposits. The Company's allowance for doubtful accounts was $5.7 million and $3.0 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and included in rent and other receivables, net within the consolidated balance sheets. Revenue and Expense Recognition We lease single-family properties that we own directly to tenants who occupy the properties under operating leases, generally, with a term of one year. Rental revenue, net of any concessions, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, which is not materially different than if it were recorded when due from tenants and recognized monthly as it is earned. We accrue for property taxes and HOA assessments based on amounts billed, and, in some circumstances, estimates and historical trends when bills or assessments are not available. The actual assessment may differ from the estimates, resulting in a change in estimate in a subsequent period. Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses Accounts payable and accrued expenses consists primarily of trade payables, resident security deposits, construction liabilities, HOA fees and property tax accruals as of the end of the respective period presented. It also consists of contingent loss accruals, if any. Such losses are accrued when they are both probable and estimable. When it is reasonably possible that a significant contingent loss has occurred, we disclose the nature of the potential loss and, if estimable, a range of exposure. Share-based Compensation Our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan is accounted for under the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation . Noncash share-based compensation expense related to options to purchase our Class A common shares and restricted stock units issued to members of our board of trustees and employees is based on the fair value of the options and restricted stock units on the grant date and amortized over the service period. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in an orderly transaction between two willing parties. Fair value is a market-based measurement, and should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The GAAP valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows: • Level 1 —Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; • Level 2 —Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and • Level 3 —Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. The carrying amount of rent and other receivables, restricted cash, escrow deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these amounts. Beginning in 2016, the Company's interest rate cap agreement and preferred shares derivative liability are the only financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis within our consolidated financial statements (see Note 15). Derivatives We currently use, and in the future may use, interest rate cap agreements for interest rate risk management purposes and in conjunction with certain LIBOR-based variable rate debt to satisfy lender requirements. We assess these derivatives at inception and on an ongoing basis for the effectiveness of qualifying cash flow hedges. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings as interest expense. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of our interest rate cap agreements is required to be recognized directly in earnings. Segment Reporting Under the provision of ASC 280, Segment Reporting , the Company has determined that it has one reportable segment with activities related to acquiring, renovating, leasing and operating single-family homes as rental properties. The Company's properties are geographically dispersed and management evaluates operating performance at the market level. The Company did not have any geographic market concentrations representing 10% or more of total net book value of single-family properties as of December 31, 2016 . Recent Accounting Pronouncements In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment , to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment by removing Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which had involved determining the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of a reporting unit to measure goodwill. Instead, goodwill impairment will be determined as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying value over its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The guidance will be effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and for interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for any goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the guidance on our financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business , which changed the definition of a business and will now require management to determine whether substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. When this is the case, the transferred assets and activities is not a business. This determination is important as the accounting treatment for business combinations and asset acquisitions differs since transactions costs are expensed in a business combination and capitalized in an asset acquisition. The guidance will be effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The guidance will be applied prospectively to any transactions occurring within the period of adoption. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2017, on a prospective basis, which results in our leased properties no longer meeting the definition of a business. Therefore, dispositions of properties with in-place leases will no longer result in a reduction to goodwill. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash , which will require that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents will be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and ending balances shown in the statement of cash flows. The guidance will be effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within those annual periods with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance effective December 31, 2016. The impact on our financial statements of this adoption was described above. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments , which is intended to reduce the existing diversity in practice by addressing eight specific cash flow issues related to how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This guidance will be effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within those annual periods with early adoption permitted. If early adopted, an entity must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this guidance and does not anticipate that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) , to amend the accounting for credit losses for certain financial instruments by requiring companies to recognize an estimate of expected credit losses as an allowance in order to recognize such losses more timely than under previous guidance that had allowed companies to wait until it was probable such losses had been incurred. The guidance will be effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and for interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the guidance on our financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting , which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The guidance will be effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and for interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the guidance on our financial statements |

Single-family properties, net as of December 31, 2016 , and December 31, 2015 , included $14.3 million and $8.5 million , respectively, related to properties for which the recorded grant deed had not been received. For these properties, the trustee or seller has warranted that all legal rights of ownership have been transferred to us on the date of the sale, but there was a delay for the deeds to be recorded. Depreciation expense related to single-family properties was $262.1 million , $223.9 million and $150.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2016 , the Company sold 712 homes which generated total net proceeds of $88.6 million and resulted in a net gain on sale of $13.9 million . In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other , the Company allocated a portion of goodwill to the carrying values of its leased properties sold, which resulted in a reduction to the gain on sale. The amount of goodwill allocated to leased properties sold during the year ended December 31, 2016 , was $0.4 million , which reduced goodwill to $120.3 million as of December 31, 2016 , compared to $120.7 million as of December 31, 2015 . |

(7) The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants associated with its asset-backed securitizations, secured note payable, revolving credit facilities and term loan facility as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 . (8) Deferred financing costs relate to our asset-backed securitizations and our term loan facility. Amortization of deferred financing costs was $8.5 million and $7.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Asset-backed Securitizations May 2014 Securitization In May 2014, we completed a private securitization transaction (the "2014-SFR1 securitization") in which a newly-formed special purpose entity (the "2014-SFR1 Borrower") entered into a loan with a third-party lender (the "2014-SFR1 Lender") for $481.0 million represented by a promissory note. In addition, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement for the initial two year term of the loan, with a LIBOR based strike rate equal to 3.85% . The 2014-SFR1 Borrower under the loan is wholly owned by another special purpose entity (the "2014-SFR1 Equity Owner") and the 2014-SFR1 Equity Owner is wholly owned by our operating partnership. The loan is a two -year, floating rate loan, comprised of six floating rate components computed monthly based on 1-month LIBOR for each interest period plus a fixed component spread for each of the six components resulting in a duration-weighted blended interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.54% , subject to a LIBOR floor of 0.25% . The note requires monthly payments of interest together with principal payments representing one-twelfth of one percent of the original principal amount. The loan may be extended for three , 12 -month extensions at the 2014-SFR1 Borrower's option, resulting in a fully extended maturity date of June 9, 2019, provided that there is no event of default under the loan agreement, the Borrower obtains a replacement interest rate cap agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the 2014-SFR1 Lender and the 2014-SFR1 Borrower complies with the other terms set forth in the loan agreement. The note was immediately transferred by the 2014-SFR1 Lender to a subsidiary of the Company and then to a REMIC trust in exchange for seven classes of single-family rental pass-through certificates representing all of the beneficial ownership interests in the loan and the trust. Upon receipt of the certificates, a subsidiary of the Company sold the certificates to investors for gross proceeds of $481.0 million , before issuance costs of $14.9 million . Proceeds from this transaction were used to pay down the outstanding balance on the credit facility. The principal amount of each class of certificates corresponds to the corresponding principal amount of the loan components with an additional class to hold the residual REMIC interest. The loan was originally secured by first priority mortgages on a pool of 3,852 single-family residential properties transferred to the 2014-SFR1 Borrower from the Company's portfolio of properties. During the year ended December 31, 2016 , the Company sold 47 single-family homes from the pool of single-family homes and had two that were disqualified for a total release price of $14.5 million , which was used to pay down the principal balance on the note and also reduced the pool of 3,852 single-family homes set as collateral to 3,803 single-family homes. The 2014-SFR1 Borrower's homes were substantially similar to the other properties owned by the Company and were leased to tenants underwritten on substantially the same basis as the tenants in the Company's other properties. During the duration of the loan, the 2014-SFR1 Borrower's properties may not generally be transferred, sold or otherwise securitized, the Company can substitute properties only if a property owned by the 2014-SFR1 Borrower becomes a disqualified property under the terms of the loan, and the 2014-SFR1 Borrower is limited in its ability to incur any additional indebtedness. The loan is also secured by a security interest in all of the 2014-SFR1 Borrower's personal property and a pledge of all of the assets of the 2014-SFR1 Equity Owner, including a security interest in its membership interest in the 2014-SFR1 Borrower. The Company provides a limited guaranty (i) for certain losses arising out of designated acts of intentional misconduct and (ii) for the principal amount of the loan and all other obligations under the loan agreement in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings. The loan agreement provides that the 2014-SFR1 Borrower maintain covenants typical for securitization transactions including establishing and maintaining a cash management account controlled by the 2014-SFR1 Lender to collect all rents and cash generated by the 2014-SFR1 Borrower's properties. In the absence of an event of default, the 2014-SFR1 Borrower will receive any excess cash after payment of monthly interest, principal and property related expenses. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the loan or if the 2014-SFR1 Borrower does not maintain a debt yield (net cash flow divided by the outstanding principal balance of the loan) on the portfolio of at least 6.68% , the 2014-SFR1 Lender may transfer the excess cash to an account and apply any funds in such account as the 2014-SFR1 Lender elects, including to prepay principal and pay any amounts due under the loan. The 2014-SFR1 Lender may also foreclose on its security interests, in limited circumstances may enforce the Company's guaranty and may appoint a new property manager. As of December 31, 2016 , the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the loan agreement. The Company has accounted for the transfer of the note from its subsidiary to the trust as a sale under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing , with no resulting gain or loss as the note was both originated by the third-party lender and immediately transferred at the same fair market value. The Company has also evaluated and not identified any variable interests in the trust. Accordingly, the Company continues to consolidate, at historical cost basis, the 3,803 homes placed as collateral for the note. The principal balance outstanding on the note was $456.1 million and $473.8 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and was included in asset-backed securitizations, net within the consolidated balance sheets. The 3,803 homes and 3,852 homes set as collateral had a net book value of $575.4 million and $606.9 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. The interest rate cap agreement entered into as part of the securitization transaction has been formally designated as a cash flow hedge at inception and will be regularly assessed for effectiveness on an ongoing basis. During the year ended December 31, 2016 , the Company's interest rate cap agreement was 100% effective as a cash flow hedge and, as a result, changes in fair value have been classified in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. These amounts will subsequently be reclassified into earnings in the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The fair value of the interest rate cap agreement is estimated to be zero as of December 31, 2016 , (see Note 15) and has been included in escrow deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. September 2014 Securitization In September 2014, we completed our second securitization transaction (the "2014-SFR2 securitization"), which was structured substantially similar to the 2014-SFR1 securitization. The principal differences from the 2014-SFR1 securitization are: (1) the loan is a fixed rate loan for $513.3 million with a 10 year term, maturity date of October 9, 2024, and a duration-adjusted weighted-average interest rate of 4.42% , (2) no interest rate cap agreement was part of the transaction, (3) the loan was originally secured by first priority mortgages on a portfolio of 4,487 single-family residential properties owned by the borrower, a subsidiary of the Company and (4) in lieu of a debt yield requirement, the loan agreement provides that if the borrower does not maintain a debt service coverage ratio of at least 1.20 to 1.00, the lender may transfer cash to an account from which the lender may apply funds as it elects, including prepayment of the loan and principal. During the year ended December 31, 2016 , the Company had three single-family homes that were disqualified for a total release price of $0.4 million , which was used to pay down the principal balance on the note and also reduced the pool of 4,487 single-family homes set as collateral to 4,484 single-family homes. The loan agreement defines the debt service coverage ratio as of any determination date as a ratio in which the numerator is the net cash flow (as defined in the loan agreement) divided by the aggregate debt service for the 12 month period following the date of determination. Also, in addition to the single-family rental pass-through certificates sold to third parties, the Company acquired all of the Class F certificates, which bear no interest, for $25.7 million . Gross proceeds to the Company from the 2014-SFR2 securitization, after purchase of the Class F certificates, were $487.7 million , before issuance costs of $12.9 million . Proceeds from this transaction were used to pay down the outstanding balance on the credit facility and for general corporate purposes. The Company has accounted for the transfer of the 2014-SFR2 securitization promissory note to the trust as a sale under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing, with no resulting gain or loss as the note was both originated by the third-party lender and immediately transferred at the same fair market value. The Company has also evaluated the purchased Class F certificates as a variable interest in the trust and has concluded that the Class F certificates will not absorb a majority of the trust's expected losses or receive a majority of the trust's expected residual returns. Additionally, the Company has concluded that the Class F certificates do not provide the Company with any ability to direct activities that could impact the trust's economic performance. The Company does not consolidate the trust and continues to consolidate, at historical cost basis, the 4,484 homes placed as collateral for the note. The principal balance outstanding on the note was $501.8 million and $507.3 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and was included in asset-backed securitizations, net within the consolidated balance sheets. Separately, the $25.7 million of purchased Class F certificates have been reflected as asset-backed securitization certificates in the consolidated balance sheets. The 4,484 homes and 4,487 homes set as collateral had a net book value of $650.2 million and $672.3 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. November 2014 Securitization In November 2014, we completed our third securitization transaction (the "2014-SFR3 securitization"), which was structured substantially similar to the 2014-SFR2 securitization. The principal differences from the 2014-SFR2 securitization are: (1) the loan is a fixed rate loan for $528.4 million with a 10 year term, maturity date of December 9, 2024, and a duration-adjusted weighted-average interest rate of 4.40% , (2) the loan is secured by first priority mortgages on a portfolio of 4,503 single-family residential properties owned by the borrower, a subsidiary of the Company and (3) the Company did not acquire any of the certificates associated with this transaction. Gross proceeds to the Company from the 2014-SFR3 securitization were $528.4 million , before issuance costs of $12.9 million . Proceeds from this transaction were used to pay down the outstanding balance on the credit facility and for general corporate purposes. The Company consolidates, at historical cost basis, the 4,503 homes placed as collateral for the note. The principal balance outstanding on the note was $517.8 million and $523.1 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and was included in asset-backed securitizations, net within the consolidated balance sheets. The 4,503 homes set as collateral had a net book value of $706.3 million and $729.8 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. March 2015 Securitization In March 2015, we completed our fourth securitization transaction (the “2015-SFR1 securitization”), which was structured substantially similar to the 2014-SFR3 securitization. The principal differences from the 2014-SFR3 securitization are: (1) the loan is a fixed-rate loan for $552.8 million with a 30 year term, maturity date of April 9, 2045, and a duration-adjusted weighted-average interest rate of 4.14% , (2) the loan was originally secured by first priority mortgages on a pool of 4,661 single-family residential properties owned by the Borrower, a subsidiary of the Company and (3) the loan has an anticipated repayment date of April 9, 2025. During the year ended December 31, 2016 , the Company had one single-family home that was disqualified for a total release price of $0.1 million , which was used to pay down the principal balance on the note and also reduced the pool of 4,661 single-family homes set as collateral to 4,660 single-family homes. The note was immediately transferred by the third-party lender to a subsidiary of the Company and then to a REMIC trust in exchange for eight classes of single-family rental pass-through certificates representing all of the beneficial ownership interests in the loan and the trust. Upon receipt of the certificates, a subsidiary of the Company sold the certificates to investors for gross proceeds of $552.8 million , before issuance costs of $13.3 million . Proceeds from this transaction were used to pay down the outstanding balance on the credit facility and for general corporate purposes. The Company consolidates, at historical cost basis, the 4,660 homes placed as collateral for the note. The principal balance outstanding on the note was $543.5 million and $549.1 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and was included in asset-backed securitizations, net within the consolidated balance sheets. The 4,660 homes and 4,661 homes set as collateral had a net book value of $710.8 million and $735.0 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. September 2015 Securitization In September 2015, we completed our fifth securitization transaction (the “2015-SFR2 securitization”), which was structured substantially similar to the 2015-SFR1 securitization. The principal differences from the 2015-SFR1 securitization are: (1) the loan is a fixed-rate loan for $477.7 million with a 30 year term, maturity date of October 9, 2045, and a duration-adjusted weighted-average interest rate of 4.36% , (2) the loan was originally secured by first priority mortgages on a portfolio of 4,125 single-family residential properties owned by the borrower, a subsidiary of the Company and (3) the loan has an anticipated repayment date of October 9, 2025. During the year ended December 31, 2016 , the Company had one single-family home that was disqualified for a total release price of $0.1 million , which was used to pay down the principal balance on the note and also reduced the pool of 4,125 single-family homes set as collateral to 4,124 single-family homes. The note was immediately transferred by the third-party lender to a subsidiary of the Company and then to a REMIC trust in exchange for seven classes of single-family rental pass-through certificates representing all the beneficial ownership interests in the loan and the trust. Upon receipt of the certificates, a subsidiary of the Company sold the certificates to investors for gross proceeds of $477.7 million , before issuance costs of $11.3 million . Proceeds from this transaction were used to pay down the outstanding balance on the credit facility and for general corporate purposes. The Company consolidates, at historical cost basis, the 4,124 homes placed as collateral for the note. The principal balance outstanding on the note was $472.0 million and $476.9 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and was included in asset-backed securitizations, net within the consolidated balance sheets. The 4,124 homes and 4,125 homes set as collateral had a net book value of $658.8 million and $681.4 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. ARP 2014-SFR1 Securitization In connection with the ARPI Merger on February 29, 2016 (see Note 11), the Company assumed a securitization loan (the "ARP 2014-SFR1 securitization”), which involved the issuance and sale of single-family rental pass-through certificates that represent beneficial ownership interests in a loan secured by 2,875 homes held by a special purpose entity, ARP 2014-SFR1 Borrower, LLC (the “ARP 2014-SFR1 Borrower”). The ARP 2014-SFR1 Borrower under the loan was wholly owned by another special purpose entity (the “ARP 2014-SFR1 Equity Owner”) and the ARP 2014-SFR1 Equity Owner was wholly owned by the operating partnership. The loan, at the time of its origination by ARPI in August 2014, had an original principal amount of $342.2 million and an initial term of two years, with three , 12 -month extension options, resulting in a fully extended maturity date of September 9, 2019. It was comprised of six floating rate components computed monthly based on 1-month LIBOR for each interest period plus a fixed component spread for each of the six components resulting in an effective weighted-average interest rate of 1-month LIBOR plus 2.11% . Interest on the loan was paid monthly. The 2,875 homes securing the loan were substantially similar to the other properties owned by the Company and were leased to tenants underwritten on substantially the same basis as the tenants in the Company’s other properties. During the duration of the loan, the ARP 2014-SFR1 Borrower’s properties were not generally able to be transferred, sold or otherwise securitized, the Company could have substituted properties only if a property owned by the ARP 2014-SFR1 Borrower became a disqualified property under the terms of the loan, and the ARP 2014-SFR1 Borrower was limited in its ability to incur any additional indebtedness. The loan was also secured by a security interest in all of the ARP 2014-SFR1 Borrower’s personal property and a pledge of all of the assets of the ARP 2014-SFR1 Equity Owner, including a security interest in its membership interest in the ARP 2014-SFR1 Borrower. The Company provided a limited guaranty (i) for certain losses arising out of designated acts of intentional misconduct and (ii) for the principal amount of the loan and all other obligations under the loan agreement in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings. The loan required that we maintained certain covenants, including but not limited to, a minimum debt yield on the collateral pool of properties. In September 2016, the Company paid off the ARP 2014-SFR1 asset-backed securitization using available cash and borrowings from our credit facilities, which resulted in a $10.7 million loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the write-off of the discount on the securitization. The payoff of the ARP 2014-SFR1 asset-backed securitization resulted in the release of the 2,875 collateralized homes and $10.1 million of restricted cash for lender requirements. Exchangeable Senior Notes, Net In connection with the ARPI Merger on February 29, 2016 (see Note 11), the Company assumed 3.25% exchangeable senior notes due 2018 that have a $115.0 million aggregate principal amount and a fair value at assumption of $112.3 million . The exchangeable senior notes are senior unsecured obligations of the operating partnership and rank equally in right of payment with all other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of the operating partnership. Interest is payable in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning May 15, 2016, until the maturity date of November 15, 2018. The operating partnership’s obligations under the exchangeable senior notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. The exchangeable senior notes bear interest at a rate of 3.25% per annum and contain an exchange settlement feature, which provides that the exchangeable senior notes may, under certain circumstances, be exchangeable for cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at the option of the operating partnership, based on an initial exchange rate of 46.9423 shares of ARPI's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the notes. The adjusted initial exchange rate would be 53.2795 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the notes, based on the 1.135 exchange ratio of ARPI shares to our shares resulting from the ARPI Merger. The current exchange rate as of December 31, 2016 , was 54.7701 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the notes. The exchange rate changes over time based on our common share price and distributions to common shareholders. Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding August 15, 2018, the notes will be exchangeable at the option of the holders only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter beginning after December 31, 2013 (and only during such quarter) if the closing sale price per share of our common stock is more than 130% of the then-current exchange price for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding calendar quarter; (2) during the 5 consecutive business-day period following any 5 consecutive trading-day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes was less than 98% of the product of the closing sale price per share of our common stock multiplied by the then-current exchange rate; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions described in the indenture. On or after August 15, 2018, the notes will be exchangeable at any time prior to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the maturity date. Subject to its election to satisfy its exchange obligations entirely in shares of our common stock, upon exchange, the operating partnership will pay or deliver, as the case may be, to exchanging holders in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of notes being exchanged a settlement amount either solely in cash, solely in common shares or in a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. The fair value of the exchangeable senior notes, which was calculated using a binomial lattice model at the time of assumption, was $112.3 million , which represents the $115.0 million face value less a discount of $2.7 million , which will be amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the notes. The amount recorded to exchangeable senior notes, net at the time of assumption was $105.3 million , which represents the fair value of $112.3 million , less the fair value of the exchange settlement feature of the notes of $7.0 million , which was calculated using a straight-debt rate of 6.7% at the time of assumption. The fair value of the exchange settlement feature was recorded in additional paid-in capital and will be amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the notes. As of December 31, 2016 , the exchangeable senior notes, net had a balance of $108.1 million in the consolidated balance sheets, which was net of an unamortized discount of $1.9 million and $5.0 million of unamortized fair value of the exchange settlement feature, which was included in additional paid-in capital within the consolidated balance sheets. Secured Note Payable In December 2014, as part of the Ellington Portfolio Acquisition, the Company assumed a $51.6 million secured note payable. The debt consists of a 5 -year note payable, which is secured by a first priority mortgage on 583 of the homes acquired as part of the Ellington Portfolio Acquisition, bears interest at 4.06% , matures on July 1, 2019, and contains certain required covenants, including a minimum debt service coverage ratio of 1.47 to 1.00. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , the secured note payable had a balance of $49.8 million and $50.8 million , respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. Credit facilities In March 2013, the Company entered into a $500.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with a financial institution, which was subsequently amended in September 2013 to, among other things, expand our borrowing capacity to $800.0 million and extend the repayment period to September 30, 2018. All borrowings under the credit facility accrued interest at 1-month LIBOR plus 2.75% until March 2017, and thereafter at 1-month LIBOR plus 3.125% . The credit facility was secured by our operating partnership’s membership interests in entities that own certain of our single-family properties and required that we maintain certain financial covenants. In July 2016, the Company paid off the $142.0 million of borrowings that had been outstanding on the credit facility, using proceeds from our 6.35% Series E perpetual preferred share offering, and terminated the credit facility in August 2016. The termination of the credit facility resulted in $2.7 million of charges during the third quarter of 2016, related to deferred financing cost write-offs, that were included in loss on early extinguishment of debt within the consolidated statements of operations. In August 2016, the Company entered into a $1.0 billion credit agreement providing for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $650.0 million and a delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million . The interest rate on the revolving credit facility is, at the Company’s election, a LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.30% or a base rate (generally determined according to a prime rate or federal funds rate) plus a margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.30% . Loans under the term loan facility accrue interest, at the Company’s election, at either a LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 1.70% to 2.30% or a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.70% to 1.30% . In each case, the actual margin is determined according to a ratio of the Company’s total indebtedness to total asset value in effect from time to time. Based on current credit metrics for LIBOR based borrowings as of December 31, 2016 , the revolving credit facility bears interest at 1-month LIBOR plus 1.85% , and the term loan facility bears interest at 1-month LIBOR plus 1.80% . The credit agreement includes an accordion feature allowing the revolving credit facility or the term loan facility to be increased to an aggregate amount not to exceed $1.75 billion , subject to certain conditions. The facilities mature on August 16, 2019. No amortization payments are required on the term loan facility prior to the maturity date. The Company has the option to extend the maturity date of the revolving credit facility for up to one year, and has two options to extend the maturity date of the term loan facility for up to one year each, in both cases upon payment of an extension fee. The credit agreement requires that we maintain certain financial covenants. As of December 31, 2016 , the Company had no outstanding borrowings against the revolving credit facility, $325.0 million of outstanding borrowings against the term loan facility and was in compliance with all loan covenants. Interest Expense The following table displays our total gross interest, which includes unused commitment and other fees on our credit facilities and amortization of deferred financing costs, the discounts on the ARP 2014-SFR1 securitization and exchangeable senior notes and the fair value of the exchange settlement feature of the exchangeable senior notes, and capitalized interest for the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 (in thousands): For the Years Ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Gross interest cost $ 133,137 $ 98,103 $ 33,077 Capitalized interest (2,290 ) (8,690 ) (13,196 ) Interest expense $ 130,847 $ 89,413 $ 19,881 |

Equity [Abstract] | |
Shareholders' Equity | Shareholders' Equity Class A Common Shares In February 2016, the Company issued 36,546,170 Class A common shares, $0.01 par value per share, in connection with the ARPI Merger (see Note 11). In August 2014, the Company issued 17,782,861 Class A common shares, $0.01 par value per share, in an underwritten public offering and concurrent private placement, which raised gross proceeds of $313.3 million before offering costs of $4.9 million . In July 2014, the Company issued 8,158,001 Class A common shares, $0.01 par value per share, in connection with the acquisition of Beazer Rental Homes (see Note 11). "At the Market" Common Share Offering Program In November 2016, the Company established an “at the market” common share offering program under which we may issue Class A common shares from time to time through various sales agents up to an aggregate of $400.0 million . The program was established in order to use the net proceeds from share issuances to repay borrowings against the Company’s revolving credit and term loan facilities, to acquire and renovate single-family properties and for related activities in accordance with the Company’s business strategy, and for working capital and general corporate purposes. The program does not have an expiration date, but may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time. During the year ended December 31, 2016 , the Company issued and sold 4.9 million Class A common shares for gross proceeds of $104.0 million , or $21.13 per share, and net proceeds of $102.8 million , after commissions and other expenses of approximately $1.2 million . Net proceeds from the issuances were used to acquire and renovate single-family properties and for working capital and general corporate purposes. As of December 31, 2016 , $296.0 million remained available for future share issuances under the program. Share Repurchase Program On September 21, 2015, the Company announced that our board of trustees approved a share repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase up to $300.0 million of our outstanding Class A common shares from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The program does not have an expiration date, but may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice. All repurchased shares are constructively retired and returned to an authorized and unissued status. In addition, the excess of the purchase price over the par value of shares repurchased is recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. During the year ended December 31, 2016 , we repurchased and retired 6.2 million of our Class A common shares in accordance with the program at a weighted-average price of $15.44 per share and a total price of $96.0 million . During the year ended December 31, 2015 , we repurchased and retired 3.6 million of our Class A common shares in accordance with the program at a weighted-average price of $15.76 per share and a total price of $57.3 million . As of December 31, 2016 , we had a remaining repurchase authorization of $146.7 million under the program. Class B Common Shares Former AH LLC members received a total of 635,075 shares of Class B common shares in the Company in connection with its investment in the 2012 Offering and the 2,770 Property Contribution. Each Class B common share generally entitles the holder to 50 votes on all matters that the holders of Class A common shares are entitled to vote. The issuance of Class B common shares to former AH LLC members allows former AH LLC members a voting right associated with its investment in the Company no greater than if it had solely received Class A common shares. Additionally, when the voting interest from Class A common shares and Class B common shares are added together, a shareholder is limited to a 30% total voting interest. Each Class B common share has the same economic interest as a Class A common share. Participating Preferred Shares Participating preferred shares represent non-voting preferred equity interests in the Company and entitle holders to a cumulative annual cash dividend equal to 5.0% for Series A participating preferred shares, 5.0% for Series B participating preferred shares and 5.5% for Series C participating preferred shares of an initial liquidation preference of $25 per share. Any time between September 30, 2017, and September 30, 2020, for the Series A and Series B participating preferred shares and between March 31, 2018, and March 31, 2021, for the Series C participating preferred shares (the "initial redemption period"), the Company has the option to redeem the preferred shares for cash or Class A common shares, at a redemption price equal to the initial liquidation preference, adjusted by an amount equal to 50% of the cumulative change in value of an index based on the purchase prices of single-family properties located in our top 20 markets (the "HPA adjustment"). During the initial redemption period, the amount payable upon redemption will be subject to a cap, such that the total internal rate of return, when considering the initial liquidation preference, the HPA adjustment and dividends up to, but excluding, the date of redemption, will not exceed 9.0% . If not redeemed by the end of the initial redemption period, the initial liquidation preference of $25 per share will be adjusted by the HPA adjustment as of September 30, 2020, for the Series A and Series B participating preferred shares and as of March 31, 2021, for the Series C participating preferred shares (the "adjusted liquidation preference") and the cumulative annual cash dividend rate will be prospectively increased to 10% of the adjusted liquidation preference. Any time after September 30, 2020, for the Series A and Series B participating preferred shares and March 31, 2021, for the Series C participating preferred shares, the Company has the option to redeem the preferred shares for cash or Class A common shares, at a redemption price equal to the adjusted liquidation preference. Because the HPA adjustment meets the definition of a derivative under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging , and is not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the underlying preferred shares, the fair value of the HPA adjustment has been reflected as a liability in the consolidated balance sheets and is adjusted to fair value each period and included in remeasurement of preferred shares in the consolidated statements of operations (see Note 15). In May 2014, the Company issued 7,600,000 5.5% Series C participating preferred shares in an underwritten public offering and concurrent private placement, raising gross proceeds of $190.0 million before offering costs of $9.7 million . In December 2013 and January 2014, the Company issued 4,400,000 5.0% Series B participating preferred shares in an underwritten public offering which raised gross proceeds of $110.0 million before offering costs of $6.6 million . In October 2013, the Company issued 5,060,000 5.0% Series A participating preferred shares in an underwritten public offering, which raised gross proceeds of $126.5 million before offering costs of $7.3 million . As of December 31, 2016 , the initial liquidation preference, as adjusted by an amount equal to 50% of the cumulative change in value of an index based on the purchase prices of single-family properties located in our top 20 markets, for all of the Company's outstanding 5.0% Series A participating preferred shares, 5.0% Series B participating preferred shares and 5.5% Series C participating preferred shares was $476.2 million . Perpetual Preferred Shares Perpetual preferred shares represent non-voting preferred equity interests in the Company and entitle holders to a cumulative annual cash dividend equal to 6.5% for Series D cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred shares ("Series D perpetual preferred shares") and 6.35% for Series E cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred shares ("Series E perpetual preferred shares"), which is applied to the liquidation preference at issuance of $25 per share. The Company may, at its option, redeem the perpetual preferred shares for cash, in whole or in part, from time to time, at any time on or after May 24, 2021, for the Series D perpetual preferred shares and June 29, 2021, for the Series E perpetual preferred shares or within 120 days after the occurrence of a change in control at a redemption price equal to the $25 per share liquidation preference, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends. During June 2016, the Company issued 9,200,000 6.35% Series E perpetual preferred shares in an underwritten public offering, raising gross proceeds of $230.0 million before offering costs of $7.5 million . During May 2016, the Company issued 10,750,000 6.5% Series D perpetual preferred shares in an underwritten public offering and concurrent private placement, raising gross proceeds of $268.8 million before offering costs of $8.5 million . Class A Units Class A units represent voting equity interests in our operating partnership. Holders of Class A units in our operating partnership have the right to redeem the units for cash or, at the election of the Company, exchange the units for the Company's Class A common shares on a one -for-one basis. The Company owned 81.4% and 93.5% of the total 298,931,517 and 222,311,255 Class A units outstanding as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. In February 2016, the Company issued 1,343,843 Class A units in connection with the ARPI Merger (see Note 11). Conversion of Series C Convertible Units into Class A Units The Series C convertible units represented voting equity interests in our operating partnership owned by former AH LLC members. On February 28, 2016, the third anniversary of their original issue date, the 31,085,974 Series C convertible units converted into Class A units on a one -for-one basis in accordance with their terms. Conversion of Series E Convertible Units into Series D Convertible Units The Series E convertible units represented non-voting equity interests in our operating partnership. Series E convertible units did not participate in any distributions and were convertible into Series D convertible units on February 29, 2016, subject to an earn-out provision based on the level of pro forma annualized EBITDA contribution, as defined, of the Advisor and the Property Manager. The terms of the earn-out provision were met in full and, therefore, the 4,375,000 Series E convertible units were converted into Series D convertible units on a one -for-one basis on February 29, 2016. The fair value of the Series D convertible units was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which was primarily driven by the most recent trading price of the Company’s Class A common shares into which the Series D convertible units are ultimately convertible. Based on this valuation, the conversion of Series E convertible units into Series D convertible units resulted in a gain of $11.5 million which was recorded in gain on conversion of Series E units within the consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, the Series E convertible units had a $2.8 million contingent beneficial conversion feature that represents a return to the Series E convertible unit holders in the form of additional noncontrolling interest, calculated as the difference between the estimated fair value of the Series D units and the Class A units at the time of the conversion of the Series E units into Series D units in February 2016. The contingent beneficial conversion feature was recognized when the contingency was met, which occurred when the Series D units converted into Class A units on September 30, 2016. Conversion of Series D Convertible Units into Class A Units The Series D convertible units represented non-voting equity interests in our operating partnership owned by former AH LLC members and began participating in distributions, representing 70% of distributions declared on Class A units, 30 months after their issuance. The Series D convertible units were automatically convertible into Class A units on a one -for-one basis only after the later of (1) 30 months after the date of issuance and (2) the earlier of (i) the date on which adjusted funds from operations per Class A common share aggregated to $0.80 or more over four consecutive quarters following the original issuance date of the units and (ii) the date on which the daily closing price of our Class A common shares on the NYSE averaged $18.00 or more for two consecutive quarters following the original issuance date of the units. On September 30, 2016, the above-referenced conversion contingency was met and the 8,750,000 Series D convertible units (including the 4,375,000 Series E units that converted into Series D units on February 29, 2016) were converted into Class A units on a one -for-one basis, which resulted in a $7.6 million noncash charge (including $2.8 million from the Series E units that converted to Series D units on February 29, 2016) that was included in noncontrolling interest within the consolidated statements of operations. The noncash charge relates to a contingent beneficial conversion feature that represents a return to the Series D convertible unit holders in the form of additional noncontrolling interest, calculated as the difference between the estimated fair value of the Series D units and the Class A units at the time of their respective issuances, which was recognized when the contingency was met. Distributions To qualify as a REIT, we are required to distribute annually to our shareholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and to pay tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that we annually distribute less than 100% of our net taxable income. We intend to pay quarterly dividends to our shareholders, which in the aggregate are approximately equal to or exceed our net taxable income in the relevant year. During the year ended December 31, 2016 , our board of trustees declared distributions that totaled $0.20 per share on our Class A and Class B common shares, $1.25 per share on our 5.0% Series A participating preferred shares, $1.25 per share on our 5.0% Series B participating preferred shares, $1.38 per share on our 5.5% Series C participating preferred shares, $0.98 per share on our 6.5% Series D perpetual preferred shares, $0.80 per share on our 6.35% Series E perpetual preferred shares, $0.07 per unit on our Series C convertible units (prior to their conversion to Class A units on February 28, 2016) and $0.11 per unit on our Series D convertible units (prior to their conversion to Class A units on September 30, 2016). During the year ended December 31, 2015 , our board of trustees declared distributions that totaled $0.20 per share on our Class A and Class B common shares, $1.25 per share on our 5.0% Series A participating preferred shares, $1.25 per share on our 5.0% Series B participating preferred shares, $1.38 per share on our 5.5% Series C participating preferred shares and $0.60 per unit on our Series C convertible units. During the year ended December 31, 2014 , our board of trustees declared distributions that totaled $0.20 per share on our Class A and Class B common shares, $1.25 per share on our 5.0% Series A participating preferred shares, $1.29 per share on our 5.0% Series B participating preferred shares, $0.91 per share on our 5.5% Series C participating preferred shares and $0.60 per unit on our Series C convertible units. Noncontrolling Interest Noncontrolling interest as reflected in the Company's consolidated balance sheets primarily consists of the interest held by former AH LLC members in units in the Company's operating partnership. Former AH LLC members owned 54,276,644 and 14,440,670 , or approximately 18.2% and 6.5% , of the total 298,931,517 and 222,311,255 Class A units in our operating partnership as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Additionally, former AH LLC members owned zero and all 31,085,974 of the Series C convertible units and owned zero and all 4,375,000 of the Series D convertible units in our operating partnership as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Noncontrolling interest also includes interests held by former ARPI employees in Class A units of the Company's operating partnership, which were issued in connection with the ARPI Merger in February 2016. Former ARPI Class A unit holders owned 1,279,316 , or approximately 0.4% of the total 298,931,517 Class A units in the operating partnership as of December 31, 2016 . Also included in noncontrolling interest is the outside ownership interest in a consolidated subsidiary of the Company. The following table summarizes the activity that relates to the Company’s noncontrolling interest as reflected in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 (in thousands): For the Years Ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Preferred income allocated to Series C convertible units $ 3,027 $ 18,792 $ 18,600 Net loss allocated to Class A units (6,417 ) (4,282 ) (3,372 ) Net income allocated to Series D convertible units 134 — — Beneficial conversion feature related to conversion of Series D and E units 7,569 — — Net loss allocated to noncontrolling interests in certain consolidated subsidiaries (562 ) (157 ) (263 ) Total noncontrolling interest $ 3,751 $ 14,353 $ 14,965 2012 Equity Incentive Plan In 2012, we adopted the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan") to provide persons with an incentive to contribute to the success of the Company and to operate and manage our business in a manner that will provide for the Company's long-term growth and profitability. The Plan provides for the issuance of up to 6,000,000 Class A common shares through the grant of a variety of awards including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, unrestricted shares, dividend equivalent rights and performance-based awards. The Plan terminates in November 2022, unless it is earlier terminated by our board of trustees. During the year ended December 31, 2016 , the Company granted stock options for 708,000 Class A common shares and 74,100 restricted stock units to certain employees of the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2015 , the Company granted stock options for 588,500 Class A common shares and 44,000 restricted stock units to certain employees of the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2014 , the Company granted stock options for 1,270,000 Class A common shares and 92,000 restricted stock units to certain employees of the Company. All of the options and restricted stock units granted during the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , vest over four years and expire 10 years from the date of grant. Noncash share-based compensation expense related to these options is based on the estimated fair value on the date of grant and is recognized in expense over the service period. Such expense is adjusted to consider estimated forfeitures. Estimated forfeitures are adjusted to reflect actual forfeitures at the end of the vesting period. The following table summarizes stock option activity under the Plan for the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 : Shares Weighted- Average Exercise Price Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Life (in years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (1) (in thousands) Options outstanding at December 31, 2013 1,190,000 $ 15.48 9.3 $ 862 Granted 1,270,000 16.74 Exercised (28,750 ) 15.00 74 Forfeited (266,250 ) 15.88 Options outstanding at December 31, 2014 2,165,000 $ 16.17 8.8 $ 1,890 Granted 588,500 16.49 Exercised (16,600 ) 15.16 19 Forfeited (252,500 ) 16.57 Options outstanding at December 31, 2015 2,484,400 $ 16.22 8.0 $ 1,225 Granted 708,000 14.15 Exercised (196,000 ) 16.18 790 Forfeited (169,900 ) 16.38 Options outstanding at December 31, 2016 2,826,500 $ 15.69 7.6 $ 14,956 Options exercisable at December 31, 2016 1,245,375 $ 15.94 6.7 $ 6,276 (1) Intrinsic value for activities other than exercises is defined as the difference between the grant price and the market value on the last trading day of the period for those stock options where the market value is greater than the exercise price.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract] | |
Related Party Transactions | Related Party Transactions As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , former AH LLC members owned approximately 2.8% and 3.3% , respectively, of our outstanding Class A common shares. On a fully-diluted basis, former AH LLC members held (including consideration of 635,075 Class B common shares as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , 54,276,644 and 14,440,670 Class A units as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, zero and all 31,085,974 Series C convertible units as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, zero and all 4,375,000 Series D convertible units as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and zero and all 4,375,000 Series E convertible units as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively) an approximate 18.4% and 22.1% interest at December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. As of December 31, 2016 , the Company had a net receivable of $5.2 million due from affiliates primarily related to expense reimbursements due from a joint venture, which was included in escrow deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets within the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2015 , the Company had a net payable of $4.1 million payable to affiliates related to declared and unpaid distributions on the Series C units, partially offset by expense reimbursements from affiliates, which was included in amounts payable to affiliates within the consolidated balance sheets. In June 2014, the Company and the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation ("APFC") formed a joint venture (the "Alaska Joint Venture II"). As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , we had contributed $40.0 million to the Alaska Joint Venture II and APFC had contributed $160.0 million . During the year ended December 31, 2016 , the Alaska Joint Venture II paid distributions totaling $28.8 million and $7.2 million to APFC and us, respectively. The Alaska Joint Venture II did not pay any distributions during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 . In evaluating the Company's interest in the Alaska Joint Venture II, we concluded that the entity is not a variable interest entity after applying the variable interest model and, therefore, we account for our interest in the Alaska Joint Venture II as an investment in an unconsolidated subsidiary after applying the voting interest model using the equity method of accounting and in connection with our adoption of the new consolidation guidance. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , the balance of the Company's investment in the Alaska Joint Venture II was $32.5 million and $39.7 million , respectively, which is included in escrow deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets within the consolidated balance sheets. The Company has a promoted interest in the Alaska Joint Venture II in addition to owning 20% of its equity. Agreement on Investment Opportunities In November 2012, the Company entered into an Agreement on Investment Opportunities with AH LLC under which we paid an acquisition and renovation fee equal to 5% of all costs and expenses we incurred in connection with the initial acquisition, repair and renovation of single-family properties (net of any broker fees received by the Property Manager) for its services in identifying, evaluating, acquiring and overseeing the renovation of the properties we purchase. On June 10, 2013, we entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement on Investment Opportunities. Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Agreement on Investment Opportunities, on December 10, 2014, AH LLC ceased providing acquisition and renovation services for us, we stopped paying AH LLC an acquisition and renovation fee, we hired all of AH LLC's acquisition and renovation personnel necessary for our operations and AH LLC ceased paying the Company a monthly fee of $0.1 million for the maintenance and use of certain intellectual property transferred to us once we completed the internalization of management in June 2013. During the year ended December 31, 2014 , we incurred $86.0 million in aggregate acquisition and renovation fees to AH LLC prior to the termination of the Amended and Restated Agreement on Investment Opportunities, of which $67.5 million was capitalized related to asset acquisitions and included in the cost of single-family properties and $22.1 million was expensed related to property acquisitions with in-place leases and to the acquisition of Beazer Pre-Owned Rental Homes, Inc. ("Beazer Rental Homes"). AH LLC was liquidated during August 2016 with its ownership interests in the operating partnership distributed to its members. Employee Administration Agreement On June 10, 2013, we entered into an employee administration agreement with Malibu Management, Inc. ("MMI"), an affiliate of AH LLC, to obtain the exclusive services of personnel of the Advisor and the Property Manager, who were previously employees of MMI under the direction of AH LLC. Under the terms of the agreement, we obtained the exclusive service of the employees dedicated to us for all management and other personnel dedicated to our business and were able to direct MMI to implement employment decisions with respect to the employees dedicated to us. We were required to reimburse MMI for all compensation and benefits and costs associated with the employees dedicated to us. We did not pay any fee or any other form of compensation to MMI. The agreement with MMI terminated on December 31, 2014. Effective January 1, 2015, all employees previously employed by MMI and performing services on our behalf became our employees. Compensation and benefit costs paid by MMI and passed through to us under the agreement during the year ended December 31, 2014 , totaled $41.9 million . |

On February 29, 2016, the Company completed the ARPI Merger, in which ARPI merged with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of us in a stock-for-stock transaction, with our subsidiary continuing as the surviving entity (the "ARPI Merger"). The purpose of this acquisition was to solidify our position as the largest public owner and operator of single-family rental properties, increase scale and achieve operating synergies. ARPI’s portfolio is substantially similar to our own, meets our high quality portfolio standards and the acquisition of their portfolio has allowed us to add density in key markets. As a result of the ARPI Merger, each holder of ARPI common stock received 1.135 of our Class A common shares for each share of ARPI common stock and each holder of limited partnership interests in ARPI’s operating partnership received 1.135 Class A units of our operating partnership. We issued 36,546,170 Class A common shares and 1,343,843 Class A units in connection with the ARPI Merger, representing 12.7% of the total Class A common shares, Class B common shares and units of our operating partnership, collectively, as of the acquisition date. The equity transaction consideration of $530.5 million was calculated based on the 36,546,170 Class A common shares and 1,343,843 Class A units issued in connection with the ARPI Merger valued at the Company’s closing share price on the acquisition date of $14.00 per share.

As our investments in these joint ventures were already previously accounted for as consolidated joint ventures, this acquisition was recorded in equity and the 377 properties continue to be accounted for using the same historical cost basis. 2014 Acquisitions Ellington Portfolio Acquisition On December 31, 2014, the Company acquired a 100% ownership interest in a portfolio of 914 homes located in markets in Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Texas for a total purchase price of approximately $126.0 million , which included $74.4 million in cash and the assumption of $51.6 million of debt (the "Ellington Portfolio Acquisition").

The fair value of the Class A common shares issued has been estimated to be $144.8 million , which has been determined using the closing price in the Company's Class A common shares on the date of the Beazer Rental Homes Acquisition. As of December 31, 2014, the Company estimated that approximately $0.6 million would be withheld from the $5.0 million indemnification escrow to satisfy certain representation and warranty provisions in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value | Fair Value The carrying amount of rents and other receivables, restricted cash, escrow deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these amounts. The Company’s interest rate cap agreement and preferred shares derivative liability are the only financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated financial statements. Our credit facilities, term loan facility, asset-backed securitizations and secured note payable are also financial instruments, which are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as they were estimated by using unobservable inputs. We estimated their fair values by modeling the contractual cash flows required under the instruments and discounting them back to their present values using estimates of current market rates. Our exchangeable senior notes are also financial instruments, which are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as their fair value is estimated using observable inputs, based on the market value of the last trade at the end of the period. The following table displays the carrying values and fair values of our debt instruments as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands): December 31, 2016 December 31, 2015 Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value 2014-SFR1 securitization $ 456,074 $ 465,343 $ 473,755 $ 472,258 2014-SFR2 securitization 501,810 510,941 507,305 476,952 2014-SFR3 securitization 517,827 530,549 523,109 489,448 2015-SFR1 securitization 543,480 553,689 549,121 496,673 2015-SFR2 securitization 472,043 483,901 476,920 433,633 Total asset-backed securitizations (1) 2,491,234 2,544,423 2,530,210 2,368,964 Exchangeable senior notes, net (2) 108,148 142,808 — — Secured note payable 49,828 50,053 50,752 48,631 Term loan facility (3) 325,000 325,000 — — Total debt $ 2,974,210 $ 3,062,284 $ 2,580,962 $ 2,417,595 (1) The carrying values of the asset-backed securitizations exclude $48.4 million and $56.6 million of deferred financing costs as of December 31, 2016 , and December 31, 2015 , respectively. (2) The carrying value of the exchangeable senior notes, net is presented net of an unamortized discount. (3) The carrying value of the term loan facility excludes $3.3 million of deferred financing costs as of December 31, 2016 . As our term loan facility bears interest at a floating rate based on an index plus a spread, which is a LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 1.70% to 2.30% or a base rate (generally determined according to a prime rate or federal funds rate) plus a margin ranging from 0.70% to 1.30% , management believes that the carrying value of the term loan facility as of December 31, 2016 , reasonably approximates fair value. Valuation of the preferred shares derivative liability considers scenarios in which the preferred shares would be redeemed or converted into Class A common shares by the Company and the subsequent payoffs under those scenarios. The valuation also considers certain variables such as the risk-free rate matching the assumed timing of either redemption or conversion, volatility of the underlying home price appreciation index, dividend payments, conversion rates, the assumed timing of either redemption or conversion and an assumed drift factor in home price appreciation across certain MSAs as outlined in the agreement.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the operating partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company consolidates real estate partnerships and other entities that are not variable interest entities ("VIEs") when it owns, directly or indirectly, a majority interest in the entity or is otherwise able to control the entity. The Company consolidates VIEs in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation, if it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE as determined by its power to direct the VIE's activities and the obligation to absorb its losses or the right to receive its benefits, which are potentially significant to the VIE. Entities for which the Company owns an interest, but does not consolidate, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting as an investment in unconsolidated subsidiary and are included in escrow deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets within the consolidated balance sheets. Ownership interests in certain consolidated subsidiaries of the Company held by outside parties are included in noncontrolling interest in the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Any references in this report to the number of properties is outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s review of our financial statements, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB"). In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been made. Effective January 1, 2016, in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, deferred financing costs, net of amortization, related to our asset-backed securitizations have been classified in asset-backed securitizations, net within the consolidated balance sheets. Prior to January 1, 2016, these costs were included in deferred costs and other intangibles, net within the consolidated balance sheets. All prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. This resulted in the reclassification of $56.6 million of deferred financing costs, net of amortization, from deferred costs and other intangibles, net to asset-backed securitizations, net as of December 31, 2015, in the consolidated balance sheets. Effective January 1, 2016, due to the stabilization of our portfolio and the majority of our properties having been initially leased, vacant single-family properties and other expenses have been reclassified in the consolidated statements of operations, with vacant single-family property operating expenses combined with leased single-family property operating expenses, which are both included in property operating expenses within the consolidated statements of operations, and other expenses reclassified to other expenses within the consolidated statements of operations. This resulted in the reclassification of the $15.0 million and $22.9 million of vacant single-family properties and other expenses for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, with $11.2 million and $19.3 million , respectively, of vacant single-family property operating expenses reclassified to property operating expenses and $3.8 million and $3.6 million , respectively, of other expenses reclassified to other expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Effective July 1, 2016, due to recently increased volume in the Company's sales of single-family properties, gains and losses from the sales of single-family properties have been included in gain on sale of single-family properties, net within the consolidated statements of operations. Prior period net gains from the sales of single-family properties, which totaled $0.2 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, and June 30, 2016, respectively, were previously included in other revenues and have been reclassified to gain on sale of single-family properties, net to conform to the current presentation. Prior year net gains and losses from the sales of single-family properties have not been reclassified as the amounts were immaterial. Effective December 31, 2016, in accordance with our adoption of ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash , the Company includes restricted cash together with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and ending balances shown in the statements of cash flows, which has the effect of excluding the presentation of transfers between restricted and unrestricted cash amounts in the statements of cash flows. Prior to the adoption, the beginning and ending balances presented in the statements of cash flows included only cash and cash equivalents, and transfers between restricted and unrestricted cash amounts were presented within operating and investing activities based on the nature of the amounts. All prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. This resulted in $111.3 million , $77.2 million and $26.4 million of restricted cash as of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, being added to cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the consolidated statements of cash flows. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 to 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), which commenced with our taxable year ended December 31, 2012. We believe that we have operated, and continue to operate, in such a manner as to satisfy the requirements for qualification as a REIT. Accordingly, we will not be subject to federal income tax, provided that we qualify as a REIT and our distributions to our shareholders equal or exceed our REIT taxable income. However, qualification and taxation as a REIT depends upon our ability to meet the various qualification tests imposed under the Code, including tests related to the percentage of income that we earn from specified sources and the percentage of our earnings that we distribute to our shareholders. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that we will continue to be organized or be able to operate in a manner so as to remain qualified as a REIT. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year and do not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, our income would be subject to U.S. federal income tax and state income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular corporate tax rates, and we would likely be precluded from qualifying for treatment as a REIT until the fifth calendar year following the year in which we fail to qualify. Even if we qualify as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state or local income and capital taxes and U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income, if any. Our TRSs will be subject to federal, state and local taxes on their income at regular corporate rates. The tax years from 2012 through 2016 remain open to examination by the taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject. ASC 740-10, Income Taxes, requires recognition of deferred tax assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. We recognize tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained, based solely on its technical merits, with the taxing authority having full authority of all relevant information. The measurement of a tax benefit for an uncertain tax position that meets the "more likely than not" threshold is based on a cumulative probability model under which the largest amount of tax benefit recognized is the amount with a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority having full knowledge of all the relevant information. As of December 31, 2016 , there were no deferred tax assets and liabilities or unrecognized tax benefits recorded. We do not anticipate a significant change in unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months. |
Investments in Real Estate | ASC 740-10, Income Taxes, requires recognition of deferred tax assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. We recognize tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained, based solely on its technical merits, with the taxing authority having full authority of all relevant information. The measurement of a tax benefit for an uncertain tax position that meets the "more likely than not" threshold is based on a cumulative probability model under which the largest amount of tax benefit recognized is the amount with a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority having full knowledge of all the relevant information. As of December 31, 2016 , there were no deferred tax assets and liabilities or unrecognized tax benefits recorded. We do not anticipate a significant change in unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months. Investments in Real Estate Transactions in which single-family properties purchased are not subject to an existing lease are treated as asset acquisitions and, as such, are recorded at their purchase price, including acquisition costs, which is allocated to land and building based upon their relative fair values at the date of acquisition. Single-family properties that are acquired either subject to an existing lease or as part of a portfolio level transaction are treated as a business combination under ASC 805, Business Combinations , and, as such, are recorded at fair value, allocated to land, building and the existing lease, if applicable, based upon their fair values at the date of acquisition, with acquisition fees and other costs expensed as incurred. Fair value is determined in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , and is primarily based on unobservable data inputs. In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating the purchase price of individually acquired properties subject to an existing lease, the Company utilizes its own market knowledge and published market data. In this regard, the Company also utilizes information obtained from county tax assessment records to assist in the determination of the fair value of the land and building. The Company generally engages a third-party valuation specialist to assist management in the determination of fair value for purposes of allocating the purchase price of pro |
Single-family Properties Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations | Single-family Properties Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations Single-family properties are classified as held for sale when they meet the applicable GAAP criteria, including, but not limited to, the availability of the home for immediate sale in its present condition, the existence of an active program to locate a buyer and the probable sale of the home within one year. Single-family properties classified as held for sale are reported at the lower of their carrying value or estimated fair value less costs to sell, and are presented separately in single-family properties held for sale, net within the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , the Company had 1,119 and 45 single-family properties, respectively, classified as held for sale, and recorded $5.0 million of impairment on single-family properties held for sale for the year ended December 31, 2016 , which was included in other expenses within the consolidated statements of operations. The results of operations of properties that have either been sold or classified as held for sale, if due to a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on our operations or financial results, are reported in the consolidated statements of operations as discontinued operations for both current and prior periods presented through the date of the applicable disposition in accordance with ASU No. 2014-08 ("ASU 2014-08"), "Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, " which the Company adopted January 1, 2015, on a prospective basis. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2014-08, gains on dispositions of single-family properties that had been in operation were included in income from discontinued operations, whereas gains on dispositions of single-family properties with no historical or immaterial operating results were included in other revenues within the consolidated statements of operations |
Impairment of Long-lived Assets | Impairment of Long-lived Assets We evaluate our long-lived assets for impairment periodically or whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Significant indicators of impairment may include, but are not limited to, declines in home values, rental rates and occupancy percentages, as well as significant changes in the economy. If an impairment indicator exists, we compare the expected future undiscounted cash flows against the net carrying amount. If the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows is less than the net carrying amount, we record an impairment loss for the difference between the estimated fair value of the individual property and the carrying amount of the property at that date. No material impairments were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 . |
Leasing Costs | Leasing Costs Direct and incremental costs incurred to lease properties are capitalized and amortized over the term of the leases, which generally have a term of one year. |
Depreciation and Amortization | Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of buildings, improvements and other assets. Buildings are depreciated over 30 years and improvements and other assets are depreciated over their estimated economic useful lives, generally 3 to 30 years. We consider the value of in-place leases in the allocation of the purchase price, and amortize such amounts on a straight-line basis over the remaining terms of the leases. The unamortized portion of the value of in-place leases is included in deferred costs and other intangibles, net within the consolidated balance sheets. |
Intangible Assets | Intangible Assets Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the asset's estimated economic life and are tested for impairment based on undiscounted cash flows and, if impaired, are written down to fair value based on discounted cash flows. The identified intangible assets are amortized over amortizable lives of 4.7 years for trademark and 7.0 years for database. The Company reviews finite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of an asset is less than its net book value, an impairment loss is recognized. Measurement of an impairment loss is based on the fair value of an asset. No impairment was recorded during the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 . |
Goodwill | Goodwill Goodwill represents the fair value in excess of the tangible and separately identifiable intangible assets that were acquired in connection with the internalization of the Company's management function, including all administrative, financial, property management, marketing and leasing personnel, including executive management, in 2013. Goodwill has an indefinite life and is therefore not amortized. The Company analyzes goodwill for impairment on an annual basis pursuant to ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other , which permits us to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount as a basis to determine whether the two-step impairment test is necessary. This qualitative assessment requires judgment to be applied in evaluating the effects of multiple factors, including actual and projected financial performance of the reporting unit, industry and market conditions, macroeconomic conditions, and other relevant entity specific events. We also have the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to performing the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. The first step in the impairment test compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds fair value, the second step is required to determine the amount of the impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. Impairment charges, if any, are recognized in operating results. No goodwill impairment was recorded during the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 . Additionally, the Company allocated a portion of goodwill to the carrying values of our leased properties sold, calculated as the sales price of the leased property over the fair value of the Company's total portfolio of single-family properties, which resulted in a reduction to the gain on sale of the property. The amount of goodwill allocated to leased properties sold during the year ended December 31, 2016 , was $0.4 million , which reduced goodwill to $120.3 million as of December 31, 2016 , compared to $120.7 million as of December 31, 2015 . |
Deferred Financing Costs | Deferred Financing Costs Financing costs related to the origination of the Company's revolving credit facility are deferred and amortized as interest expense on an effective interest method over the contractual term of the applicable financing. They are presented net of accumulated amortization and have been included in deferred costs and other intangibles, net within the consolidated balance sheets. Financing costs related to the origination of the Company's term loan credit facility and asset-backed securitizations are also deferred and amortized as interest expense on an effective interest method over the contractual term of the applicable financing. They are presented net of accumulated amortization and are netted against the related debt instrument under liabilities within the consolidated balance sheets. |
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash | Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash We consider all demand deposits, cashier's checks, money market accounts and certificates of deposit with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We maintain our cash and cash equivalents and escrow deposits at financial institutions. The combined account balances typically exceed the FDIC insurance coverage, and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit. We believe that the risk is not significant. Restricted cash primarily consists of funds held related to resident security deposits and cash reserves in accordance with certain loan agreements. Funds held related to resident security deposits are restricted during the term of the related lease agreement, which is generally one year. Cash reserved in connection with lender requirements is restricted during the term of the related debt instrument. |
Escrow Deposits | Escrow Deposits Escrow deposits include refundable and non-refundable cash earnest money deposits for the purchase of properties. In addition, escrow deposits include amounts paid for single-family properties in certain states which require a judicial order when the risk and rewards of ownership of the property are transferred and the purchase is finalized. |
Nonperforming Loans | Nonperforming Loans Nonperforming loans are carried at cost and placed on nonaccrual status as it is probable that the principal or interest is not fully collectible. For nonperforming loans that are converted into a home through foreclosure or other form of resolution, the Company adjusts the property value to market value and it is moved into single-family properties in the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2016 , the Company had a total investment of $0.2 million in three nonperforming loans, compared to $34.6 million in 265 nonperforming loans as of December 31, 2015 . These investments were included in escrow deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets within the consolidated balance sheets. |
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | Allowance for Doubtful Accounts We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses that may result from the inability of tenants to make required rent or other payments. This allowance is estimated based on, among other considerations, payment histories, overall delinquencies and available security deposits. The Company's allowance for doubtful accounts was $5.7 million and $3.0 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and included in rent and other receivables, net within the consolidated balance sheets. |
Revenue and Expense Recognition | Revenue and Expense Recognition We lease single-family properties that we own directly to tenants who occupy the properties under operating leases, generally, with a term of one year. Rental revenue, net of any concessions, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, which is not materially different than if it were recorded when due from tenants and recognized monthly as it is earned. We accrue for property taxes and HOA assessments based on amounts billed, and, in some circumstances, estimates and historical trends when bills or assessments are not available. The actual assessment may differ from the estimates, resulting in a change in estimate in a subsequent period. |
Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses | Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses Accounts payable and accrued expenses consists primarily of trade payables, resident security deposits, construction liabilities, HOA fees and property tax accruals as of the end of the respective period presented. It also consists of contingent loss accruals, if any. Such losses are accrued when they are both probable and estimable. When it is reasonably possible that a significant contingent loss has occurred, we disclose the nature of the potential loss and, if estimable, a range of exposure. |
Share-based Compensation | Share-based Compensation Our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan is accounted for under the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation . Noncash share-based compensation expense related to options to purchase our Class A common shares and restricted stock units issued to members of our board of trustees and employees is based on the fair value of the options and restricted stock units on the grant date and amortized over the service period. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in an orderly transaction between two willing parties. Fair value is a market-based measurement, and should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The GAAP valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows: • Level 1 —Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; • Level 2 —Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and • Level 3 —Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. The carrying amount of rent and other receivables, restricted cash, escrow deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these amounts. Beginning in 2016, the Company's interest rate cap agreement and preferred shares derivative liability are the only financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis within our consolidated financial statements (see Note 15). |
Derivatives | Derivatives We currently use, and in the future may use, interest rate cap agreements for interest rate risk management purposes and in conjunction with certain LIBOR-based variable rate debt to satisfy lender requirements. We assess these derivatives at inception and on an ongoing basis for the effectiveness of qualifying cash flow hedges. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings as interest expense. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of our interest rate cap agreements is required to be recognized directly in earnings. |
Segment Reporting | Segment Reporting Under the provision of ASC 280, Segment Reporting , the Company has determined that it has one reportable segment with activities related to acquiring, renovating, leasing and operating single-family homes as rental properties. The Company's properties are geographically dispersed and management evaluates operating performance at the market level. The Company did not have any geographic market concentrations representing 10% or more of total net book value of single-family properties as of December 31, 2016 . |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment , to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment by removing Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which had involved determining the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of a reporting unit to measure goodwill. Instead, goodwill impairment will be determined as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying value over its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The guidance will be effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and for interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for any goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the guidance on our financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business , which changed the definition of a business and will now require management to determine whether substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. When this is the case, the transferred assets and activities is not a business. This determination is important as the accounting treatment for business combinations and asset acquisitions differs since transactions costs are expensed in a business combination and capitalized in an asset acquisition. The guidance will be effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The guidance will be applied prospectively to any transactions occurring within the period of adoption. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2017, on a prospective basis, which results in our leased properties no longer meeting the definition of a business. Therefore, dispositions of properties with in-place leases will no longer result in a reduction to goodwill. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash , which will require that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents will be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and ending balances shown in the statement of cash flows. The guidance will be effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within those annual periods with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance effective December 31, 2016. The impact on our financial statements of this adoption was described above. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments , which is intended to reduce the existing diversity in practice by addressing eight specific cash flow issues related to how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This guidance will be effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within those annual periods with early adoption permitted. If early adopted, an entity must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this guidance and does not anticipate that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) , to amend the accounting for credit losses for certain financial instruments by requiring companies to recognize an estimate of expected credit losses as an allowance in order to recognize such losses more timely than under previous guidance that had allowed companies to wait until it was probable such losses had been incurred. The guidance will be effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and for interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the guidance on our financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting , which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The guidance will be effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and for interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the guidance on our financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , which will require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases with terms of more than one year. Lessor accounting will remain similar to lessor accounting under previous GAAP, while aligning with the FASB's new revenue recognition guidance. The guidance will be effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and for interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our financial statements. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities , which amends certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments, including the requirement to measure certain equity investments at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The guidance will be effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the guidance on our financial statements. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis , which changes the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. Among other changes, it modifies the criteria used in the variable interest model and eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership in the voting model. The guidance became effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and for interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance January 1, 2016, with no material impact on our financial statements. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) , which requires management to evaluate the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures, if necessary. Each annual and interim period, management will be required to evaluate relevant conditions, events and certain management plans to assess whether there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. To determine if the disclosures are necessary, management will need to assess whether its plans will alleviate substantial doubt of the entity’s going concern. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance as of December 31, 2016, with no material impact on our financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) , which provides guidance on revenue recognition and supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, most industry-specific guidance and some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, “Revenue Recognition—Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts.” The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under current guidance. These judgments may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. The guidance will be effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within those annual periods. At that time, the Company may adopt the full retrospective approach or the modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and for interim periods within that annual period. The Company is currently evaluating the method of adoption of this guidance and does not anticipate that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our financial statements as our lease terms are generally less than one year. |
