Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Organization and Business Operations | Organization and Business Operations Benefit Street Partners Realty Trust, Inc. (the "Company"), formerly known as Realty Finance Trust, Inc., is a real estate finance company that primarily originates, acquires and manages a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate debt secured by properties located within the United States. The Company was incorporated in Maryland on November 15, 2012. The Company made a tax election to be treated as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2013. The Company believes that it has qualified as a REIT and intends to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT. On May 14, 2013, the Company commenced business operations after raising in excess of $2.0 million of equity, the amount required for the Company to release equity proceeds from escrow. Substantially all of the Company's business is conducted through Benefit Street Partners Realty Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “OP”), a Delaware limited partnership. The Company is the sole general partner and directly or indirectly holds all of the units of limited partner interests in the OP. The Company has no direct employees. Benefit Street Partners L.L.C. serves as the Company's advisor (the "Advisor") pursuant to an advisory agreement executed on September 29, 2016 (the “Advisory Agreement”). The Advisor, an investment adviser registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), is a credit-focused alternative asset management firm. Established in 2008, the Advisor's credit platform manages funds for institutions and high-net-worth investors across various credit funds and complementary strategies including high yield, levered loans, private / opportunistic debt, liquid credit, structured credit and commercial real estate debt. These strategies complement each other as they all leverage the sourcing, analytical, compliance, and operational capabilities that encompass the platform. The Advisor is in partnership with Providence Equity Partners L.L.C., a global private equity firm. The Advisor manages the Company's affairs on a day-to-day basis. The Advisor receives compensation and fees for services related to the investment and management of the Company's assets and the operations of the Company. Prior to September 29, 2016, Realty Finance Advisor, LLC ("Former Advisor") was the Company's advisor. The Former Advisor was controlled by AR Global Investments, LLC ("AR Global"). The Company invests in commercial real estate debt investments, which may include first mortgage loans, subordinated mortgage loans, mezzanine loans and participations in such loans. The Company also invests in commercial real estate securities. Real estate securities may include commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS"), senior unsecured debt of publicly traded REITs, debt or equity securities of other publicly traded real estate companies and collateralized debt obligations ("CDOs"). Realty Capital Securities, LLC, (the “Former Dealer Manager”) served as the dealer manager of the Offering. The Former Advisor and Former Dealer Manager are under common control with AR Global, the parent of American Realty Capital VIII, LLC (the "Former Sponsor"). As a result they are related parties and each of them received compensation and fees for services related to the Offering, the investment and management of the Company's assets and the operations of the Company. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Accounting The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related footnotes are unaudited and have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X, as appropriate. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements may not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported periods. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ materially. In the opinion of management, the interim data includes all adjustments, of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. The current period’s results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the entire year or any subsequent interim periods. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of, and for the year ended December 31, 2016 , which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 29, 2017. There have been no significant changes to the Company's significant accounting policies during the three months ended June 30, 2017 . Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the OP and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In determining whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in a joint venture and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, management considers factors such as ownership interest, authority to make decisions and contractual and substantive participating rights of the other partners or members as well as whether the entity is a variable interest entity ("VIE") for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company has determined the OP is a VIE of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Substantially all of the Company's assets and liabilities are held by the OP. The Company consolidates all entities that it controls through either majority ownership or voting rights. In addition, the Company consolidates all VIEs of which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. VIEs are entities in which equity investors (i) do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest and/or (ii) do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The entity that consolidates a VIE is its primary beneficiary and is generally the entity with (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the right to receive benefits from the VIE or the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs") issued and securitized by wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. The Company has determined the CLOs are VIEs of which the Company's subsidiary is the primary beneficiary. The assets and liabilities of the CLOs are consolidated in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet in accordance with ASC 810 - Consolidation. Acquisition Fees and Acquisition Expenses The Company incurs acquisition fees and acquisition expenses payable to the Advisor. The Company pays the Advisor an acquisition fee based on the principal amount funded by the Company to originate or acquire commercial mortgage loan investments or on the anticipated net equity funded by the Company to acquire real estate securities. Acquisition fees and acquisition expenses paid to the Company's Advisor in connection with the origination and acquisition of commercial mortgage loan investments and acquisition of real estate securities are evaluated based on the nature of the expense to determine if they should be expensed in the period incurred or capitalized and amortized over the life of the investment. The Company capitalizes certain direct costs relating to the loan origination activities and the cost is amortized over the life of the loan. The Advisor receives an acquisition fee of 1.0% of the principal amount funded by the Company to originate or acquire commercial mortgage loans (or anticipated net equity funded by the Company in the case of acquisitions of real estate securities) and receives reimbursement for insourced acquisition expenses of 0.5% ; provided, however, that if and when the aggregate purchase price for all investments acquired after the date of the Advisory Agreement reaches $600,000,000 , the Company’s obligation to pay acquisition fees to the Advisor shall terminate. There is no such limitation on the acquisition expense reimbursements. Commercial Mortgage Loans Commercial mortgage loans that are held for investment purposes and are anticipated to be held until maturity, are carried at cost, net of unamortized acquisition expenses, discounts or premiums and unfunded commitments. Commercial mortgage loans, held for investment purposes that are deemed to be impaired are carried at amortized cost less a specific allowance for loan losses. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and related discounts, premiums and acquisition expenses on investments are amortized over the life of the investment using the effective interest method. Amortization is reflected as an adjustment to interest income in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Guaranteed loan exit fees payable by the borrower upon maturity are accreted over the life of the investment using the effective interest method. The accretion of guaranteed loan exit fees is recognized in interest income in the Company's consolidated statements of operation. Commercial loans that are intended to be sold in the foreseeable future are reported as held-for-sale and are transferred at fair value and recorded at the lower of cost or fair value with changes recorded through the statement of operations. Unamortized loan origination costs for commercial loans held-for-sale are capitalized as part of the carrying value of the loans and recognized upon the sale of such loans. Amortization of origination costs ceases upon transfer of commercial loans to held-for-sale. Allowance for Loan Losses The allowance for loan losses reflects management's estimate of loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The reserve is increased through the loan loss provision on the Company's consolidated statement of operations and is decreased by charge-offs when losses are confirmed through the receipt of assets, such as cash in a pre-foreclosure sale or upon ownership control of the underlying collateral in full satisfaction of the loan upon foreclosure or when significant collection efforts have ceased. The Company uses a uniform process for determining its allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses includes a general, formula-based component and an asset-specific component. General reserves are recorded when (i) available information as of each balance sheet date indicates that it is probable a loss has occurred in the portfolio and (ii) the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company estimates loss rates based on historical realized losses experienced in the industry, given the fact the Company has not experienced any losses, and takes into account current collateral and economic conditions affecting the probability and severity of losses when establishing the allowance for loan losses. The Company performs a comprehensive analysis of its loan portfolio and assigns risk ratings to loans that incorporate management's current judgments about their credit quality based on all known and relevant internal and external factors that may affect collectability. The Company considers, among other things, payment status, lien position, borrower financial resources and investment in collateral, collateral type, project economics and geographic location as well as national and regional economic factors. This methodology results in loans being segmented by risk classification into risk rating categories that are associated with estimated probabilities of default and principal loss. Ratings range from "1" to "5" with "1" representing the lowest risk of loss and "5" representing the highest risk of loss. The asset-specific reserve component relates to reserves for losses on individual impaired loans. The Company considers a loan to be impaired when, based upon current information and events, it believes that it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. This assessment is made on an individual loan basis each quarter based on such factors as payment status, lien position, borrower financial resources and investment in collateral, collateral type, project economics and geographical location as well as national and regional economic factors. A reserve is established for an impaired loan when the present value of payments expected to be received, observable market prices or the estimated fair value of the collateral (for loans that are dependent on the collateral for repayment) is lower than the carrying value of that loan. For collateral dependent impaired loans, impairment is measured using the estimated fair value of collateral less the estimated cost to sell. Valuations are performed or obtained at the time a loan is determined to be impaired and designated non-performing, and they are updated if circumstances indicate that a significant change in value has occurred. The Advisor generally will use the income approach through internally developed valuation models to estimate the fair value of the collateral for such loans. In more limited cases, the Advisor will obtain external "as is" appraisals for loan collateral, generally when third party participations exist. A loan is also considered impaired if its terms are modified in a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR"). A TDR occurs when a concession is granted and the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. Impairments on TDR loans are generally measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate of the original loans. The Company designates non-performing loans at such time as (i) loan payments become 90-days past due; (ii) the loan has a maturity default; or (iii) in the opinion of the Company, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan. Income recognition will be suspended when a loan is designated non-performing and resumed only when the suspended loan becomes contractually current and performance is demonstrated to have resumed. A loan will be written off when it is no longer realizable and legally discharged. Per Share Data The Company calculates basic earnings per share by dividing net income attributable to the Company for the period by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for that period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur from shares issuable in connection with the restricted stock plan and if convertible shares were exercised, except when doing so would be anti-dilutive. Reportable Segments The Company conducts its business through the following segments: • The real estate debt business which is focused on originating, acquiring and asset managing commercial real estate debt investments, including first mortgage loans, subordinate mortgages, mezzanine loans and participations in such loans. • The real estate securities business which is focused on investing in and asset managing commercial real estate securities primarily consisting of CMBS and may include unsecured REIT debt, CDO notes and other securities. See Note 12 - Segment Reporting for further information regarding the Company's segments. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance which requires an entity to determine whether the nature of its promise to provide goods or services to a customer is performed in a principal or agent capacity and to recognize revenue in a gross or net manner based on its principal/agent designation. This guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance. In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance that changes how entities measure credit losses for financial assets carried at amortized cost. The update eliminates the requirement that a credit loss must be probable before it can be recognized and instead requires an entity to recognize the current estimate of all expected credit losses. Additionally, the update requires credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities to be carried as an allowance rather than as a direct write-down of the asset. The amendments become effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments may be adopted early for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance. In August 2016, the FASB issued guidance on how certain transactions should be classified and presented in the statement of cash flows as either operating, investing or financing activities. Among other things, the update provides specific guidance on where to classify debt prepayment and extinguishment costs, payments for contingent consideration made after a business combination and distributions received from equity method investments. The revised guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance. In October 2016, the FASB issued guidance where a reporting entity will need to evaluate if it should consolidate a VIE. The amendments change the evaluation of whether a reporting entity is the primary beneficiary of a VIE by changing how a single decision maker of a VIE treats indirect interests in the entity held through related parties that are under common control with the reporting entity. The revised guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted this revised guidance this reporting period which did not have any effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In November 2016, the FASB issued guidance on the classification of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. The amendment requires restricted cash to be included in the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total cash amounts. Therefore, transfers between cash and restricted cash will no longer be shown on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |

Debt | Debt Repurchase Agreements - Commercial Mortgage Loans The Company entered into repurchase facilities with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (the "JPM Repo Facility"), Goldman Sachs Bank USA (the "GS Repo Facility") and U.S. Bank National Association (the "USB Repo Facility"), collectively (the "Repo Facilities"). The JPM Repo Facility matured on June 12, 2017 and a new extension occurred on the same day, with an initial maturity date of June 12, 2019 and a one-year extension at the Company's option. The outstanding balances as of June 12, 2017 rolled into the new repurchase agreement and provides up to $300.0 million in advances. The GS Repo Facility initially matures on December 27, 2018, with a one -year extension at the Company’s option, which may be exercised upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, and provides up to $250.0 million in advances. The USB Repo Facility initially matures on July 15, 2020, with two one-year extensions at the option of the Company, which may be exercised upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, and provides up to $100.0 million in advances. The JPM Repo Facility, GS Repo Facility and USB Repo Facility are subject to various adjustments. Advances under the JPM Repo Facility currently accrue interest at per annum rates generally equal to the sum of (i) the applicable LIBOR index rate plus (ii) a margin of 2.40% . Borrowings under the GS Repo Facility accrue interest at per annum rates generally equal to the sum of (i) a spread over LIBOR of between 2.35% to 2.85% , depending on the attributes of the purchased asset, and (ii) 0.50% . Borrowings under the USB Repo Facility accrue interest at per annum rates generally equal to the sum of (i) the applicable LIBOR index rate plus (ii) a margin between 2.25% to 3.00% , depending on the attributes of the purchased assets. We expect to use advances from these repo facilities to finance the acquisition or origination of eligible loans, including first mortgage loans, subordinated mortgage loans, mezzanine loans and participation interests therein. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had $115.5 million and $257.7 million outstanding under the JPM Repo Facility with weighted average interest rates on advances of 3.48% and 3.08% , respectively. The Company incurred $5.5 million and $2.2 million in interest expense on the JPM Repo Facility for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, including amortization of deferred financing cost. As of June 30, 2017 , the Company had $62.0 million outstanding under the GS Repo Facility with a weighted average interest rate on advances of 3.74% . The Company incurred $2.2 million of interest expense on the GS Repo Facility for the six months ended June 30, 2017 , including amortization of deferred financing cost. The Company had no advances under the GS Repo Facility as of December 31, 2016. The Company did not incur any interest expense on the GS Repo Facility during the six months ended June 30, 2016 . As of June 30, 2017 , the Company had no draws under the USB Repo Facility. The Company incurred $19.6 thousand of interest expense on the USB Repo Facility for the six months ended June 30, 2017 , comprising solely of amortization of deferred financing cost. The Repo Facilities generally provide that in the event of a decrease in the value of the Company's collateral, the lenders can demand additional collateral. Should the value of the Company’s collateral decrease as a result of deteriorating credit quality, resulting margin calls may cause an adverse change in the Company’s liquidity position. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company is in compliance with all debt covenants. The Company entered into a financing arrangement with Pacific Western Bank for term financing (“PWB Financing”) on May 17, 2017. The PWB Financing provided the Company with $36.2 million and is collateralized by a portfolio asset of $54.2 million . The PWB Financing currently accrues interest at per annum rates equal to the sum of (i) the applicable LIBOR index rate plus (ii) a margin of 4.00% . The PWB Financing initially matures on June 9, 2019, with two one -year extension options at the Company’s option. The Company incurred $0.2 million of interest expense on the PWB Financing for the six months ended June 30, 2017 , including amortization of deferred financing cost. Repurchase Agreements - Real Estate Securities The Company has entered into various Master Repurchase Agreements (the "MRAs") that allow the Company to sell real estate securities while providing a fixed repurchase price for the same real estate securities in the future.

The retained Class C and its related interest income and the preferred equity are eliminated in the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company, as the holder of preferred equity in the Issuer, will absorb the first losses of the CLO, which may have a negative impact to the Company's result of operations. The issuance of the CLO also results in an increase in interest expense within the consolidated statement of operations.

Equity [Abstract] | |
Common Stock | Common Stock As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the Company had 31,957,913 and 31,884,631 shares of common stock outstanding, respectively, including shares issued pursuant to the Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("DRIP") and unvested restricted shares. On December 30, 2014, the Company filed with the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation articles supplementary to its charter that reclassified 1,000 authorized but unissued shares of the Company’s common stock as shares of convertible stock and set the terms of such convertible shares. The Company then issued 1,000 convertible shares to the Former Advisor for $ 1.00 per share. The convertible shares automatically converted to shares of common stock upon the first occurrence of certain triggering events, including the termination of the Advisory Agreement with the Former Advisor and the Company, with payouts dependent on the achievement of certain stockholder total return thresholds. Subsequent to September 30, 2016, the Company determined that as a result of the termination of the advisory agreement between the Former Advisor and the Company a triggering event had occurred. Based on the Company’s determination of the enterprise value of the Company on the date of the triggering event, the total distributions paid to the Company’s stockholders through the date of the triggering event, and the sum of the Company's stockholders’ invested capital as of the date of the triggering event, that the convertible shares converted into a number of common shares equal to zero . As a result, the convertible shares that were issued to the Former Advisor have been extinguished and no common shares were issued in connection with the conversion and the par value of the shares was transferred to Additional Paid In Capital upon extinguishment. Distributions In order to maintain its election to qualify as a REIT, the Company must currently distribute, at a minimum, an amount equal to 90% of its taxable income, without regard to the deduction for distributions paid and excluding net capital gains. The Company must distribute 100% of its taxable income (including net capital gains) to avoid paying corporate U.S. federal income taxes. On May 13, 2013, the Company's board of directors authorized and declared a distribution calculated daily at a rate of $ 0.00565068493 per day, which is equivalent to $2.0625 per annum, per share of common stock. In March 2016 , the Company's board of directors ratified the existing distribution amount equivalent to $2.0625 per annum for calendar year 2016. On November 10, 2016 the Company’s board of directors changed the DRIP offer price to $20.05 , which is equal to the estimated per-share NAV as of September 30, 2016 approved by the board of directors. The price change was applied to the reinvestment of distributions commencing with the October 2016 distributions. On May 10, 2017 , the Company’s board of directors changed the methodology used to determine the DRIP offer price to be the lesser of (i) the Company’s most recent estimated per-share NAV, as approved by the Company’s board of directors from time to time, and (ii) the Company’s book value per share, computed in accordance with GAAP. Based on this new methodology, the DRIP offer price for May 2017, June 2017 and July 2017 was $19.62 per share, which was the GAAP book value per share as of March 31, 2017 . Starting August 2017 the DRIP offer price will be $19.29 per share, which is the GAAP book value per share as of June 30, 2017 On March 28, 2017, the Company's board of directors authorized and declared a distribution calculated daily at a rate of $0.00565068493 per day, which is equivalent to $2.0625 per annum, per share of common stock. The Company's distributions are payable by the fifth day following each month end to stockholders of record at the close of business each day during the prior month. Distribution payments are dependent on the availability of funds. The Company's board of directors may reduce the amount of distributions paid or suspend distribution payments at any time, and therefore, distributions payments are not assured. The Company distributed $32.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 , comprised of $21.2 million in cash and $11.4 million in shares of common stock issued under the DRIP. The Company distributed $ 32.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 , comprised of $ 19.7 million in cash and $ 13.0 million in shares of common stock issued under the DRIP. Share Repurchase Program The Company's board of directors unanimously approved an amended and restated share repurchase program (the “SRP”), which became effective on February 28, 2016. The SRP enables stockholders to sell their shares to the Company. Subject to certain conditions, stockholders that purchased shares of the Company's common stock or received their shares from us (directly or indirectly) through one or more non-cash transactions and have held their shares for a period of at least one year may request that the Company repurchase their shares of common stock so long as the repurchase otherwise complies with the provisions of Maryland law. Repurchase requests made following the death or qualifying disability of a stockholder will not be subject to any minimum holding period. On August 10, 2017, the Company's board of directors amended the SRP to provide that the repurchase price per share for requests will be equal to the lesser of (i) the Company’s most recent estimated per-share NAV, as approved by the Company’s board of directors from time to time, and (ii) the Company’s book value per share, computed in accordance with GAAP, multiplied by a percentage equal to (i) 92.5% , if the person seeking repurchase has held his or her shares for a period greater than one year and less than two years; (ii) 95% , if the person seeking repurchase has held his or her shares for a period greater than two years and less than three years; (iii) 97.5% , if the person seeking repurchase has held his or her shares for a period greater than three years and less than four years; or (iv) 100% , if the person seeking repurchase has held his or her shares for a period greater than four years or in the case of requests for death or qualifying disability. The Company’s most recent estimated per-share NAV is $20.05 and the Company’s GAAP book value per share as of June 30, 2017 is $19.29 . These amendments will begin to apply to repurchases made pursuant to the SRP for the fiscal semester ended December 31, 2017 . Repurchase requests related to death or a qualifying disability must satisfy certain conditions, each of which are assessed by and at the sole discretion of the Company, including the following conditions. In the case of death, the shareholder must be a natural person (or a revocable grantor trust) and the Company must receive a written notice from the estate of the shareholder, the recipient of the shares through bequest or inheritance, or the trustee in the case of a revocable grantor trust. In the case of a “qualifying disability”, the shareholder must be a natural person (or a revocable grantor trust) and the Company must receive a written notice from the shareholder, or the trustee in the case of a revocable grantor trust, that the condition was not pre-existing on the date the shares were acquired. In order for a disability to be considered a “qualifying disability”, the shareholder must receive and provide evidence (the shareholder application and the notice of final determination) of disability based upon a physical or mental condition or impairment made by a government agency responsible for reviewing and determining disability retirement benefits (e.g. the Social Security Administration). Repurchases pursuant to the SRP, when requested, generally will be made semiannually (each six-month period ending June 30 or December 31 , a “fiscal semester”). Repurchases for any fiscal semester will be limited to a maximum of 2.5% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the previous fiscal year, with a maximum for any fiscal year of 5.0% of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the previous fiscal year. Funding for repurchases pursuant to the SRP for any given fiscal semester will be limited to proceeds received during that same fiscal semester through the issuance of common stock pursuant to any DRIP in effect from time to time, provided that the Company's board of directors has the power, in its sole discretion, to determine the amount of shares repurchased during any fiscal semester as well as the amount of funds to be used for that purpose. Any repurchase requests received during such fiscal semester will be paid at the price, computed as described above on the last day of such fiscal semester. Due to these limitations, the Company cannot guarantee that the Company will be able to accommodate all repurchase requests made during any fiscal semester or fiscal year. However, a stockholder may withdraw its request at any time or ask that the Company honors the request when funds are available. Pending repurchase requests will be honored on a pro rata basis. The Company will generally pay repurchase proceeds, less any applicable tax or other withholding required by law, by the 31st day following the end of the fiscal semester during which the repurchase request was made. When a stockholder requests redemption and the redemption is approved, the Company will reclassify such obligation from equity to a liability based on the settlement value of the obligation. Shares repurchased under the SRP will have the status of authorized but unissued shares.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments GAAP establishes a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the observability of inputs used in measuring financial instruments at fair values. GAAP establishes market-based or observable inputs as the preferred source of values, followed by valuation models using management assumptions in the absence of market inputs. The three levels of the hierarchy are described below: • Level I - Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. • Level II - Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level I) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life. • Level III - Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques. The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the above hierarchy requires significant judgment and factors specific to the asset or liability. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter and depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter. The Company has implemented valuation control processes to validate the fair value of the Company's financial instruments measured at fair value including those derived from pricing models. These control processes are designed to assure that the values used for financial reporting are based on observable inputs wherever possible. In the event that observable inputs are not available, the control processes are designed to assure that the valuation approach utilized is appropriate and consistently applied and the assumptions are reasonable. CMBS are valued utilizing both observable and unobservable market inputs. These factors include projected future cash flows, ratings, subordination levels, vintage, remaining lives, credit issues, recent trades of similar real estate securities and the spreads used in the prior valuation. Depending upon the significance of the fair value inputs used in determining these fair values, these real estate securities are classified in either Level II or Level III of the fair value hierarchy. The Company obtains current market spread information where available and uses this information in evaluating and validating the market price of all CMBS. Depending upon the significance of the fair value inputs used in determining these fair values, these real estate securities are classified in either Level II or Level III of the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the Company obtained broker quotes for determining the fair value of each CMBS investment used. As the broker quotes were both limited and non-binding, the Company has classified the CMBS as level III. The following table presents the Company's financial instruments carried at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated balance sheets by its level in the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (in thousands): Total Level I Level II Level III June 30, 2017 Real estate securities $ 15,294 $ — $ — $ 15,294 December 31, 2016 Real estate securities 49,049 — — 49,049 The following table presents additional information about CMBS investments which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 for which the Company has used Level 3 inputs to determine fair value (dollars in thousands): June 30, 2017 December 31, 2016 Beginning balance $ 49,049 $ — Transfers into Level III — 57,639 Total realized and unrealized gains (losses) included in earnings: Realized gain (loss) on sale of real estate securities 172 (874 ) Impairment losses on real estate securities — (310 ) Net accretion 13 — Unrealized gains (losses) included in OCI (1) 948 1,719 Purchases — — Sales (34,888 ) (9,125 ) Cash repayments/receipts — — Transfers out of Level III — — Ending balance $ 15,294 $ 49,049 ________________________ (1) - Unrealized gains included in Other comprehensive income ("OCI") are attributable to assets still held at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis The following table presents the Company's financial instruments carried at fair value on a non-recurring basis in the consolidated balance sheets by its level in the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (in thousands): Total Level I Level II Level III June 30, 2017 (*) Commercial mortgage loans, held-for-sale, measured at fair value $ 9,388 $ — $ — $ 9,388 December 31, 2016 (*) Commercial mortgage loans, held-for-sale, measured at fair value 21,179 — — 21,179 ________________________ * As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the Company's portfolio of commercial real estate loans held-for-sale were carried at the lower of cost or market value. The fair value of certain held-for-sale loans were adjusted to reflect fair value of the assets based on the sales price received from a potential buyer. A review of the fair value hierarchy classification is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the type of inputs may result in a reclassification for certain assets. The Company's policy with respect to transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy is to recognize transfers into and out of each level as of the beginning of the reporting period. There were no transfers between levels within fair value hierarchy during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 . The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are measured using observable quoted market prices, or Level I inputs and their carrying value approximates their fair value. The fair value of borrowings under repurchase agreements approximate their carrying value on the consolidated balance sheets due to their short-term nature, and are measured using Level II inputs. Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value The fair values of the Company's commercial mortgage loans and collateralized loan obligations, which are not reported at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets are reported below as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (in thousands): Level Carrying Amount Fair Value June 30, 2017 Commercial mortgage loans (1) Asset III $ 1,250,933 $ 1,248,569 Collateralized loan obligation Liability II 530,833 543,131 December 31, 2016 Commercial mortgage loans (1) Asset III 1,048,737 1,029,756 Collateralized loan obligation Liability II 278,450 282,001 ________________________ 1 The carrying value is gross of $2.6 million and $2.2 million of allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. The fair value of the commercial mortgage loans is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, based on the Advisor's experience with similar types of investments. The Company received broker quotes for each tranche of the CLO issued in 2015 to determine the fair value of the debt. The CLO issued in 2017 closed on June 29, 2017, hence Company estimated the fair value of each tranche of the CLO issued at par. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Accounting | Basis of Accounting The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related footnotes are unaudited and have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X, as appropriate. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements may not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported periods. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ materially. In the opinion of management, the interim data includes all adjustments, of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. The current period’s results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the entire year or any subsequent interim periods. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of, and for the year ended December 31, 2016 , which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 29, 2017. There have been no significant changes to the Company's significant accounting policies during the three months ended June 30, 2017 . |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the OP and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In determining whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in a joint venture and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, management considers factors such as ownership interest, authority to make decisions and contractual and substantive participating rights of the other partners or members as well as whether the entity is a variable interest entity ("VIE") for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company has determined the OP is a VIE of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Substantially all of the Company's assets and liabilities are held by the OP. The Company consolidates all entities that it controls through either majority ownership or voting rights. In addition, the Company consolidates all VIEs of which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. VIEs are entities in which equity investors (i) do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest and/or (ii) do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The entity that consolidates a VIE is its primary beneficiary and is generally the entity with (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the right to receive benefits from the VIE or the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs") issued and securitized by wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. The Company has determined the CLOs are VIEs of which the Company's subsidiary is the primary beneficiary. The assets and liabilities of the CLOs are consolidated in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet in accordance with ASC 810 - Consolidation. |
Acquisition Fees and Acquisition Expenses | Acquisition Fees and Acquisition Expenses The Company incurs acquisition fees and acquisition expenses payable to the Advisor. The Company pays the Advisor an acquisition fee based on the principal amount funded by the Company to originate or acquire commercial mortgage loan investments or on the anticipated net equity funded by the Company to acquire real estate securities. Acquisition fees and acquisition expenses paid to the Company's Advisor in connection with the origination and acquisition of commercial mortgage loan investments and acquisition of real estate securities are evaluated based on the nature of the expense to determine if they should be expensed in the period incurred or capitalized and amortized over the life of the investment. The Company capitalizes certain direct costs relating to the loan origination activities and the cost is amortized over the life of the loan. |
Commercial Mortgage Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses | Commercial Mortgage Loans Commercial mortgage loans that are held for investment purposes and are anticipated to be held until maturity, are carried at cost, net of unamortized acquisition expenses, discounts or premiums and unfunded commitments. Commercial mortgage loans, held for investment purposes that are deemed to be impaired are carried at amortized cost less a specific allowance for loan losses. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and related discounts, premiums and acquisition expenses on investments are amortized over the life of the investment using the effective interest method. Amortization is reflected as an adjustment to interest income in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Guaranteed loan exit fees payable by the borrower upon maturity are accreted over the life of the investment using the effective interest method. The accretion of guaranteed loan exit fees is recognized in interest income in the Company's consolidated statements of operation. Commercial loans that are intended to be sold in the foreseeable future are reported as held-for-sale and are transferred at fair value and recorded at the lower of cost or fair value with changes recorded through the statement of operations. Unamortized loan origination costs for commercial loans held-for-sale are capitalized as part of the carrying value of the loans and recognized upon the sale of such loans. Amortization of origination costs ceases upon transfer of commercial loans to held-for-sale. Allowance for Loan Losses The allowance for loan losses reflects management's estimate of loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The reserve is increased through the loan loss provision on the Company's consolidated statement of operations and is decreased by charge-offs when losses are confirmed through the receipt of assets, such as cash in a pre-foreclosure sale or upon ownership control of the underlying collateral in full satisfaction of the loan upon foreclosure or when significant collection efforts have ceased. The Company uses a uniform process for determining its allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses includes a general, formula-based component and an asset-specific component. General reserves are recorded when (i) available information as of each balance sheet date indicates that it is probable a loss has occurred in the portfolio and (ii) the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company estimates loss rates based on historical realized losses experienced in the industry, given the fact the Company has not experienced any losses, and takes into account current collateral and economic conditions affecting the probability and severity of losses when establishing the allowance for loan losses. The Company performs a comprehensive analysis of its loan portfolio and assigns risk ratings to loans that incorporate management's current judgments about their credit quality based on all known and relevant internal and external factors that may affect collectability. The Company considers, among other things, payment status, lien position, borrower financial resources and investment in collateral, collateral type, project economics and geographic location as well as national and regional economic factors. This methodology results in loans being segmented by risk classification into risk rating categories that are associated with estimated probabilities of default and principal loss. Ratings range from "1" to "5" with "1" representing the lowest risk of loss and "5" representing the highest risk of loss. The asset-specific reserve component relates to reserves for losses on individual impaired loans. The Company considers a loan to be impaired when, based upon current information and events, it believes that it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. This assessment is made on an individual loan basis each quarter based on such factors as payment status, lien position, borrower financial resources and investment in collateral, collateral type, project economics and geographical location as well as national and regional economic factors. A reserve is established for an impaired loan when the present value of payments expected to be received, observable market prices or the estimated fair value of the collateral (for loans that are dependent on the collateral for repayment) is lower than the carrying value of that loan. For collateral dependent impaired loans, impairment is measured using the estimated fair value of collateral less the estimated cost to sell. Valuations are performed or obtained at the time a loan is determined to be impaired and designated non-performing, and they are updated if circumstances indicate that a significant change in value has occurred. The Advisor generally will use the income approach through internally developed valuation models to estimate the fair value of the collateral for such loans. In more limited cases, the Advisor will obtain external "as is" appraisals for loan collateral, generally when third party participations exist. A loan is also considered impaired if its terms are modified in a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR"). A TDR occurs when a concession is granted and the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. Impairments on TDR loans are generally measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate of the original loans. The Company designates non-performing loans at such time as (i) loan payments become 90-days past due; (ii) the loan has a maturity default; or (iii) in the opinion of the Company, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan. Income recognition will be suspended when a loan is designated non-performing and resumed only when the suspended loan becomes contractually current and performance is demonstrated to have resumed. A loan will be written off when it is no longer realizable and legally discharged. |
Per Share Data | Per Share Data The Company calculates basic earnings per share by dividing net income attributable to the Company for the period by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for that period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur from shares issuable in connection with the restricted stock plan and if convertible shares were exercised, except when doing so would be anti-dilutive. |
Reportable Segments | Reportable Segments The Company conducts its business through the following segments: • The real estate debt business which is focused on originating, acquiring and asset managing commercial real estate debt investments, including first mortgage loans, subordinate mortgages, mezzanine loans and participations in such loans. • The real estate securities business which is focused on investing in and asset managing commercial real estate securities primarily consisting of CMBS and may include unsecured REIT debt, CDO notes and other securities. |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance which requires an entity to determine whether the nature of its promise to provide goods or services to a customer is performed in a principal or agent capacity and to recognize revenue in a gross or net manner based on its principal/agent designation. This guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance. In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance that changes how entities measure credit losses for financial assets carried at amortized cost. The update eliminates the requirement that a credit loss must be probable before it can be recognized and instead requires an entity to recognize the current estimate of all expected credit losses. Additionally, the update requires credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities to be carried as an allowance rather than as a direct write-down of the asset. The amendments become effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments may be adopted early for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance. In August 2016, the FASB issued guidance on how certain transactions should be classified and presented in the statement of cash flows as either operating, investing or financing activities. Among other things, the update provides specific guidance on where to classify debt prepayment and extinguishment costs, payments for contingent consideration made after a business combination and distributions received from equity method investments. The revised guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance. In October 2016, the FASB issued guidance where a reporting entity will need to evaluate if it should consolidate a VIE. The amendments change the evaluation of whether a reporting entity is the primary beneficiary of a VIE by changing how a single decision maker of a VIE treats indirect interests in the entity held through related parties that are under common control with the reporting entity. The revised guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted this revised guidance this reporting period which did not have any effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In November 2016, the FASB issued guidance on the classification of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. The amendment requires restricted cash to be included in the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total cash amounts. Therefore, transfers between cash and restricted cash will no longer be shown on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments GAAP establishes a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the observability of inputs used in measuring financial instruments at fair values. GAAP establishes market-based or observable inputs as the preferred source of values, followed by valuation models using management assumptions in the absence of market inputs. The three levels of the hierarchy are described below: • Level I - Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. • Level II - Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level I) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life. • Level III - Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques. The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the above hierarchy requires significant judgment and factors specific to the asset or liability. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter and depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter. The Company has implemented valuation control processes to validate the fair value of the Company's financial instruments measured at fair value including those derived from pricing models. These control processes are designed to assure that the values used for financial reporting are based on observable inputs wherever possible. In the event that observable inputs are not available, the control processes are designed to assure that the valuation approach utilized is appropriate and consistently applied and the assumptions are reasonable. CMBS are valued utilizing both observable and unobservable market inputs. These factors include projected future cash flows, ratings, subordination levels, vintage, remaining lives, credit issues, recent trades of similar real estate securities and the spreads used in the prior valuation. Depending upon the significance of the fair value inputs used in determining these fair values, these real estate securities are classified in either Level II or Level III of the fair value hierarchy. The Company obtains current market spread information where available and uses this information in evaluating and validating the market price of all CMBS. Depending upon the significance of the fair value inputs used in determining these fair values, these real estate securities are classified in either Level II or Level III of the fair value hierarchy. |
