Organization and Operations [Abstract] | |
Organization and Operations | Note 1 — Organization and Operations Cherry Hill Mortgage Investment Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”) was organized in the state of Maryland on October 31, 2012 to invest in residential mortgage assets in the United States. Under the Company’s charter, the Company is authorized to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of common stock and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, each with a par value of $0.01 per share. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s subsidiaries, Cherry Hill Operating Partnership, LP (the “Operating Partnership”), CHMI Sub-REIT, Inc. (the “CHMI Sub-REIT”), Cherry Hill QRS I, LLC, Cherry Hill QRS II, LLC, Cherry Hill QRS III, LLC (“QRS III”), Cherry Hill QRS IV, LLC (“QRS IV”), Cherry Hill QRS V, LLC (“QRS V”), CHMI Solutions, Inc. (“CHMI Solutions”) and Aurora Financial Group, Inc. (“Aurora”). The Company is party to a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Cherry Hill Mortgage Management, LLC (the “Manager”), a Delaware limited liability company established by Mr. Stanley Middleman. The Manager is a party to a Services Agreement with Freedom Mortgage Corporation (“Freedom Mortgage”), which is owned and controlled by Mr. Middleman. The Manager is owned by a “blind trust” for the benefit of Mr. Middleman. For a further discussion of the Management Agreement, see Note 7. The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), as defined under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with its short taxable year ended December 31, 2013. As long as the Company continues to comply with a number of requirements under federal tax law and maintains its qualification as a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes to the extent that the Company distributes its taxable income to its stockholders on an annual basis and does not engage in prohibited transactions. However, certain activities that the Company may perform may cause it to earn income that will not be qualifying income for REIT purposes. |

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2 — Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Accounting The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The Company consolidates those entities in which it has an investment of 50% or more and has control over significant operating, financial and investing decisions of the entity. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make a number of significant estimates and assumptions. These include estimates of: mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs” or “Servicing Related Assets”); residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS” or “securities”) and derivatives; credit losses, including the period of time during which the Company anticipates an increase in the fair values of RMBS sufficient to recover unrealized losses on those RMBS; and other estimates that affect the reported amounts of certain assets, revenues, liabilities and expenses as of the date of, and for the periods covered by, the consolidated financial statements. It is likely that changes in these estimates will occur in the near term. The Company’s estimates are inherently subjective in nature. Actual results could differ from the Company’s estimates, and the differences may be material. Risks and Uncertainties In the normal course of business, the Company encounters primarily two significant types of economic risk: credit and market. Credit risk is the risk of default on the Company’s investments in RMBS, Servicing Related Assets and derivatives that results from a borrower’s or derivative counterparty’s inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market risk reflects changes in the value of investments in RMBS, Servicing Related Assets and derivatives due to changes in interest rates, spreads or other market factors, including prepayment speeds on the Company’s RMBS and Servicing Related Assets. The Company is subject to the risks involved with real estate and real estate-related debt instruments. These include, among others, the risks normally associated with changes in the general economic climate, changes in the mortgage market, changes in tax laws, interest rate levels, and the availability of financing. The Company also is subject to certain risks relating to its status as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If the Company were to fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its REIT income, which could be material. Unless entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions, the Company would also be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost. Investments in RMBS Classification Fair value is determined under the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Investment securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. At disposition, the net realized gain or loss is determined on the basis of the cost of the specific investment and is included in earnings. All RMBS purchased and sold in the year ended December 31, 2019 were settled prior to period-end. All RMBS purchased and sold in the year ended December 31, 2018 were settled prior to year-end. Revenue Recognition Impairment – Investments in MSRs Classification Although transactions in MSRs are observable in the marketplace, the valuation includes unobservable market data inputs (prepayment speeds, delinquency levels, costs to service and discount rates). Changes in the fair value of MSRs as well as servicing fee income and servicing expenses are reported on the consolidated statements of income (loss). Fluctuations in the fair value of MSRs is recorded on the consolidated statements of income (loss) as “Unrealized gain (loss) on investments in Servicing Related Assets.” In determining the valuation of MSRs in accordance with ASC 820, management uses internally developed models that are primarily based on observable market-based inputs but which also include unobservable market data inputs. The Company’s application of ASC 820 guidance is discussed in further detail in Note 9. For reporting purposes, conventional conforming loans are aggregated into one category and government conforming loans are aggregated into a separate category. Revenue Recognition As an owner and manager of MSRs, the Company may be obligated to fund advances of principal and interest payments due to third-party owners of the loans, but not yet received from the individual borrowers. These advances are reported as servicing advances within the “Receivables and other assets” line item on the consolidated balance sheets. Reimbursable servicing advances, other than principal and interest advances, also have been classified within “Receivables and other assets” on the consolidated balance sheets. Although advances on Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) MSRs made in accordance with the relevant guidelines are generally recoverable, the recoverability of similar advances made on Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”) MSRs may be limited under the rules and regulations of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Department of Veterans Affairs (the “VA”) and the Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”). The Company expects to recover advances on its Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac MSRs. In addition, unrecoverable losses on the loans underlying the Ginnie Mae MSRs have not been significant to date. As a result, the Company has determined that no reserves for unrecoverable advances for the related underlying loans are necessary at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. For further discussion on the Company’s receivables and other assets, including the Company’s servicing advances, see Note 13. Servicing fee income received and servicing expenses incurred are reported on the consolidated statements of income. The difference between the fair value of MSRs and their amortized cost basis is recorded on the consolidated statements of income as “Unrealized gain (loss) on investments in MSRs.” Fair value is generally determined by discounting the expected future cash flows using discount rates that incorporate the market risks and liquidity premium specific to the MSRs and, therefore, may differ from their effective yields. As a result of the Company’s investments in MSRs, it is obligated from time to time to repurchase an underlying loan from the applicable agency for which it is being serviced due to an alleged breach of a representation or warranty. Loans acquired in this manner are recorded at the purchase price less any principal recoveries and are then offered for sale in the scratch and dent market. Loans also may be acquired from pools backing Ginnie Mae securities in order to modify the loan. Those loans typically are re-pooled into other Ginnie Mae securities “at fair value”. Any loans acquired by the Company for either reason are accounted for as loans held for sale and are recorded in “Other Assets” in the consolidated balance sheets. Derivatives and Hedging Activities Derivative transactions include swaps, swaptions, Treasury futures and “to-be-announced” securities (“TBAs”). Swaps and swaptions are entered into by the Company solely for interest rate risk management purposes. TBAs and Treasury futures are used to manage duration risk as well as basis risk and pricing risk on the Company’s financing facilities for MSRs. The decision as to whether or not a given transaction/position (or portion thereof) is economically hedged is made on a case-by-case basis, based on the risks involved and other factors as determined by senior management, including restrictions imposed by the Code on REITs. In determining whether to economically hedge a risk, the Company may consider whether other assets, liabilities, firm commitments and anticipated transactions already offset or reduce the risk. All transactions undertaken as economic hedges are entered into with a view towards minimizing the potential for economic losses that could be incurred by the Company. Generally, derivatives entered into are not intended to qualify as hedges under GAAP, unless specifically stated otherwise. The Company’s bi-lateral derivative financial instruments contain credit risk to the extent that its counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreements. The Company reduces such risk by limiting its exposure to any one counterparty. In addition, the potential risk of loss with any one party resulting from this type of credit risk is monitored. The Company’s interest rate swaps and Treasury futures are required to be cleared on an exchange, which further mitigates, but does not eliminate, credit risk. Management does not expect any material losses as a result of default by other parties to its derivative financial instruments. Classification Revenue Recognition Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments with maturities of 90 days or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Substantially all amounts on deposit with major financial institutions exceed insured limits. Restricted cash represents the Company’s cash held by counterparties (i) as collateral against the Company’s derivatives (approximately $5.7 million and $687,000 at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively) and (ii) as collateral for borrowings under its repurchase agreements (approximately $61.3 million and $7.5 million at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively). The Company’s centrally cleared interest rate swaps require that the Company post an “initial margin” amount determined by the clearing exchange, which is generally intended to be set at a level sufficient to protect the exchange from the interest rate swap’s maximum estimated single-day price movement. The Company also exchanges “variation margin” based upon daily changes in fair value, as measured by the exchange. As a result of amendments to rules governing certain central clearing activities, the exchange of variation margin is a settlement of the interest rate swap, as opposed to pledged collateral. Accordingly, beginning in the first quarter of 2018 and in subsequent periods, the Company has accounted for the receipt or payment of variation margin on interest rate swaps as a direct reduction or increase to the carrying value of the interest rate swap asset or liability. At December 31, 2019, $1.1 million of variation margin was reported as a decrease to the interest rate swap asset, at fair value. At December 31, 2018, $3.2 million of variation margin was reported as a decrease to the interest rate swap liability, at fair value. Due to Affiliate The sum under “Due to affiliates” on the consolidated balance sheets represents amounts due to the Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement. For further information on the Management Agreement, see Note 7. Income Taxes The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under Code Sections 856 through 860 beginning with its short taxable year ended December 31, 2013. U.S. federal income tax law generally requires that a REIT distribute annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and that it pay tax at regular corporate income tax rates to the extent that it annually distributes less than 100% of its taxable income. The Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”), CHMI Solutions, as well as CHMI Solutions’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Aurora, are subject to U.S. federal income taxes on their taxable income. To maintain qualification as a REIT, the Company must distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income to its stockholders and meet certain other requirements such as assets it may hold, income it may generate and its stockholder composition. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes Realized and Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Investments, Net The following table presents gains and losses on sales of the specified categories of investments for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 2017 Realized gain (loss) on RMBS, net Gain on RMBS $ 1,285 $ 104 $ 213 Loss on RMBS (383 ) (8,466 ) (716 ) Net realized gain (loss) on RMBS 902 (8,362 ) (503 ) Realized loss on derivatives, net (12,362 ) (5,889 ) (5,554 ) Unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives, net (10,867 ) 3,505 6,580 Realized gain on Excess MSRs, net - - 6,678 Unrealized gain (loss) on investments in Servicing Related Assets (106,772 ) (3,573 ) 9,159 Realized gain on acquired assets, net 26 - - Total $ (129,073 ) $ (14,319 ) $ 16,360 Repurchase Agreements and Interest Expense The Company finances its investments in RMBS with short-term borrowings under master repurchase agreements. Borrowings under the repurchase agreements are generally short-term debt due within one year. These borrowings generally bear interest rates offered by the “lending” counterparty from time to time for the term of the proposed repurchase transaction (e.g., 30 days, 60 days etc.) of a specified margin over one-month LIBOR. The repurchase agreements represent uncommitted financing. Borrowings under these agreements are treated as collateralized financing transactions and are carried at their contractual amounts, as specified in the respective agreements. Interest is recorded at the contractual amount on an accrual basis. Dividends Payable Because the Company is organized as a REIT under the Code, it is required by law to distribute annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, which it does in the form of quarterly dividend payments. The Company accrues the dividend payable on outstanding shares, excluding treasury shares, on the accounting date, which causes an offsetting reduction in retained earnings. Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period resulting from transactions and other events and circumstances, excluding those resulting from investments by and distributions to owners. For the Company’s purposes, comprehensive income represents net income (loss), as presented in the consolidated statements of income (loss), adjusted for unrealized gains or losses on RMBS, which are designated as available for sale. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Leases Leases, Credit Losses Financial Instruments—Credit Losses The Current Expected Credit Losses model replaces the idea of incurred losses with expected losses for all financial assets, with a few exceptions, not measured at fair value. Expected losses are estimated based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions and forecasting models. Key implementation efforts have included development of internal controls and retrospective analysis of credit related losses. Credit related impairments have not been material in the past, and no current or foreseeable economic factors were identified that would cause a significant impact, partly due to the indemnification language included in our subservicer agreements and the recoverability of servicing advances under agency guides for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. As a result, the Company has determined that the allowance would not be significant. This determination will be re-evaluated on a quarterly basis. Upon adoption, the Company will continue to assess for credit losses on available for sale securities consistent with its existing accounting policy with the exclusion of length of time a security has been in an unrealized loss position. The Company will establish an account for the allowance for credit losses on available for sale securities rather than reducing the amortized cost basis as done previously. This is not expected to have a significant impact to the Company’s RMBS portfolio. Fair Value Measurement Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements of Fair Value Measurement Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements Subsequent to the second quarter of 2020, the Company identified an immaterial error in the Company’s historical financial statements related to the calculation of the deferred tax asset/deferred tax liability. The immaterial error was corrected in its Current Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 with respect to the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020. The Company is correcting the same immaterial errors and other immaterial adjustments in the historical financial statements contained in the Annual Report Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed on February 27, 2020 (the “Prior Filing”). Except as described in the preceding sentence, the Company has not modified or updated disclosures contained in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Prior Filing. Consequently, all other information not affected by the revisions described above is unchanged and reflects the disclosures made at the date of the Prior Filing. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Reporting | Note 3 — Segment Reporting The Company conducts its business through the following segments: (i) investments in RMBS; (ii) investments in Servicing Related Assets; and (iii) “All Other,” which consists primarily of general and administrative expenses, including fees paid to the Company’s directors and management fees and reimbursements paid to the Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement (See Note 7). For segment reporting purposes, the Company does not allocate interest income on short-term investments or general and administrative expenses. Summary financial data with respect to the Company’s segments is given below, together with a reconciliation to the same data for the Company as a whole (dollars in thousands): Servicing Related Assets RMBS All Other Total Income Statement Year Ended December 31, 2019 Interest income $ 2,820 $ 70,518 $ - $ 73,338 Interest expense 3,669 44,916 - 48,585 Net interest income (expense) (849 ) 25,602 - 24,753 Servicing fee income 73,555 - - 73,555 Servicing costs 17,404 - - 17,404 Net servicing income 56,151 - - 56,151 Other expense (95,002 ) (34,071 ) - (129,073 ) Other operating expenses 1,950 - 10,481 12,431 Benefit from corporate business taxes (9,925 ) - - (9,925 ) Net Loss $ (31,725 ) $ (8,469 ) $ (10,481 ) $ (50,675 ) Year Ended December 31, 2018 Interest income $ 99 $ 57,251 $ - $ 57,350 Interest expense 2,314 32,193 2 34,509 Net interest income (expense) (2,215 ) 25,058 (2 ) 22,841 Servicing fee income 50,776 - - 50,776 Servicing costs 10,615 - - 10,615 Net servicing income 40,161 - - 40,161 Other expense (3,573 ) (10,746 ) - (14,319 ) Other operating expenses 1,470 - 8,417 9,887 Provision for corporate business taxes 4,527 - - 4,527 Net Income (Loss) $ 28,376 $ 14,312 $ (8,419 ) $ 34,269 Year Ended December 31, 2017 Interest income $ 523 $ 41,891 $ - $ 42,414 Interest expense 506 19,375 - 19,881 Net interest income 17 22,516 - 22,533 Servicing fee income 24,034 - - 24,034 Servicing costs 5,783 - - 5,783 Net servicing income 18,251 - - 18,251 Other income 15,837 523 - 16,360 Other operating expenses - - 8,164 8,164 Provision for corporate business taxes 2,550 - - 2,550 Net Income (Loss) $ 31,555 $ 23,039 $ (8,164 ) $ 46,430 Servicing Related Assets RMBS All Other Total Balance Sheet December 31, 2019 Investments $ 291,111 $ 2,508,360 $ - $ 2,799,471 Other assets 39,742 80,207 25,145 145,094 Total assets 330,853 2,588,567 25,145 2,944,565 Debt 166,989 2,337,638 - 2,504,627 Other liabilities 10,043 16,503 14,017 40,563 Total liabilities 177,032 2,354,141 14,017 2,545,190 Book value $ 153,821 $ 234,426 $ 11,128 $ 399,375 December 31, 2018 Investments $ 294,907 $ 1,770,110 $ - $ 2,065,017 Other assets 17,817 38,165 32,278 88,260 Total assets 312,724 1,808,275 32,278 2,153,277 Debt 157,543 1,598,592 - 1,756,135 Other liabilities 12,576 10,440 15,283 38,299 Total liabilities 170,119 1,609,032 15,283 1,794,434 Book value $ 142,605 $ 199,243 $ 16,995 $ 358,843 December 31, 2017 Investments $ 122,806 $ 1,840,912 $ - $ 1,963,718 Other assets 8,281 48,631 30,055 86,967 Total assets 131,087 1,889,543 30,055 2,050,685 Debt 39,025 1,666,537 - 1,705,562 Other liabilities 8,524 4,385 11,706 24,615 Total liabilities 47,549 1,670,922 11,706 1,730,177 Book value $ 83,538 $ 218,621 $ 18,349 $ 320,508 |

Investments in RMBS [Abstract] | |
Investments in RMBS | Note 4 — Investments in RMBS RMBS on which the payment of principal and interest is guaranteed by a U.S. government agency or a U.S. government sponsored enterprise are referred to as “Agency RMBS.” RMBS also includes collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) which are either loss share securities issued by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac or non-Agency RMBS, sometimes called “private label MBS,” which are structured debt instruments representing interests in specified pools of mortgage loans subdivided into multiple classes, or tranches, of securities, with each tranche having different maturities or risk profiles and different ratings by one or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (“NRSRO”). All of the Company’s RMBS are classified as available for sale and are, therefore, reported at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) except for securities that are OTTI (dollars in thousands): Summary of RMBS Assets As of December 31, 2019 Gross Unrealized Weighted Average Asset Type Original Book Gains Losses Carrying Value (A) Number of Securities Rating Coupon Yield (C) Maturity (Years) (D) RMBS Fannie Mae $ 1,878,229 $ 1,596,288 $ 23,636 $ (691 ) $ 1,619,233 198 (B) 3.80 % 3.65 % 27 Freddie Mac 824,991 715,892 12,204 (245 ) 727,851 88 (B) 3.72 % 3.59 % 28 CMOs 127,229 123,053 6,030 - 129,083 30 (B) 5.28 % 5.26 % 11 Private Label MBS 50,500 31,595 598 - 32,193 11 (B) 4.06 % 4.06 % 29 Total/Weighted Average $ 2,880,949 $ 2,466,828 $ 42,468 $ (936 ) $ 2,508,360 327 3.85 % 3.72 % 26 As of December 31, 2018 Gross Unrealized Weighted Average Asset Type Original Value Book Gains Losses Carrying Value (A) Number of Securities Rating Coupon Yield (C) Maturity (Years) (D) RMBS Fannie Mae $ 1,362,606 $ 1,208,854 $ 224 $ (30,914 ) $ 1,178,164 154 (B) 3.87 % 3.70 % 25 Freddie Mac 548,862 471,148 246 (12,386 ) 459,008 63 (B) 3.75 % 3.60 % 27 CMOs 100,129 99,023 5,060 (583 ) 103,500 23 (B) 6.30 % 6.29 % 11 Private Label MBS 30,500 29,395 76 (33 ) 29,438 7 (B) 4.10 % 4.11 % 29 Total/Weighted Average $ 2,042,097 $ 1,808,420 $ 5,606 $ (43,916 ) $ 1,770,110 247 3.98 % 3.82 % 25 (A) See Note 9 regarding the estimation of fair value, which approximates carrying value for all securities. (B) The Company used an implied AAA rating for the Agency RMBS. Collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) issued by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac consist of loss share securities, approximately half of which, by unpaid principal balance (“UPB”), are unrated or rated below investment grade at December 31, 2019 by at least one NRSRO. Private label securities are rated investment grade or better by at least one NRSRO as of December 31, 2019. (C) The weighted average yield is based on the most recent gross monthly interest income, which is then annualized and divided by the book value of settled securities. (D) The weighted average maturity is based on the timing of expected principal reduction on the assets.

(B) The Company used an implied AAA rating for the Agency RMBS. CMOs issued by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac consist of loss share securities, approximately half of which, by UPB, are unrated or rated below investment grade at December 31, 2019 by at least one NRSRO. Private label securities are rated investment grade or better by at least one NRSRO as of December 31, 2019. (C) The weighted average yield is based on the most recent gross monthly interest income, which is then annualized and divided by the book value of settled securities. (D) The weighted average maturity is based on the timing of expected principal reduction on the assets. At December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company pledged Agency RMBS with a carrying value of approximately $2,419.5 million and $1,698.7 million, respectively, as collateral for borrowings under repurchase agreements. At December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company did not have any securities purchased from and financed with the same counterparty that did not meet the conditions of ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing Based on management’s analysis of the Company’s securities, the performance of the underlying loans and changes in market factors, management determined that unrealized losses as of the balance sheet date on the Company’s securities were primarily the result of changes in market factors, rather than issuer-specific credit impairment, and such losses were considered temporary. The Company performed analyses in relation to such securities, using management’s best estimate of their cash flows, which support its belief that the carrying values of such securities were fully recoverable over their expected holding periods. Such market factors include changes in market interest rates and credit spreads and certain macroeconomic events, none of which will directly impact the Company’s ability to collect amounts contractually due. Management continually evaluates the credit status of each of the Company’s securities and the collateral supporting those securities. This evaluation includes a review of the credit of the issuer of the security (if applicable), the credit rating of the security (if applicable), the key terms of the security (including credit support), debt service coverage and loan to value ratios, the performance of the pool of underlying loans and the estimated value of the collateral supporting such loans, including the effect of local, industry and broader economic trends and factors. Significant judgment is required in this analysis. In connection with the above, the Company weighs the fact that a substantial majority of its investments in RMBS are guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or U.S. government sponsored enterprises. Unrealized losses that are considered other than temporary are recognized in earnings. The Company did not record any OTTI charges during the year ended December 31, 2019 and recorded approximately $45,000 of OTTI charges during the year ended December 31, 2018. The following tables summarize the Company’s securities in an unrealized loss position as of the dates indicated (dollars in thousands): RMBS Unrealized Loss Positions As of December 31, 2019 Weighted Average Duration in Loss Position Original Book Gross Unrealized Losses Carrying Value (A) Number of Securities Rating Coupon Yield (C) Maturity (Years) (D) Less than Twelve Months $ 55,588 $ 55,429 $ (105 ) $ 55,324 5 (B) 3.70 % 3.53 % 29 Twelve or More Months 169,346 131,540 (831 ) 130,709 23 (B) 3.76 % 3.54 % 25 Total/Weighted Average $ 224,934 $ 186,969 $ (936 ) $ 186,033 28 3.74 % 3.54 % 26 As of December 31, 2018 Weighted Average Duration in Loss Position Original Book Gross Unrealized Losses Carrying Value (A) Number of Securities Rating Coupon Yield (C) Maturity (Years) (D) Less than Twelve Months $ 256,937 $ 224,617 $ (1,563 ) $ 223,054 28 (B) 4.26 % 4.14 % 24 Twelve or More Months 1,512,169 1,321,115 (42,353 ) 1,278,762 181 (B) 3.78 % 3.60 % 25 Total/Weighted Average $ 1,769,106 $ 1,545,732 $ (43,916 ) $ 1,501,816 209 3.85 % 3.68 % 25 (A) See Note 9 regarding the estimation of fair value, which approximates carrying value for all securities.

(C) The weighted average yield is based on the most recent gross monthly interest income, which is then annualized and divided by the book value of settled securities. (D) The weighted average maturity is based on the timing of expected principal reduction on the assets. Except for the security for which the Company has recognized OTTI, the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases which may be maturity. |

The tables below summarize the geographic distribution for the states representing 5% or greater of the aggregate UPB of the residential mortgage loans underlying the Servicing Related Assets as of the dates indicated: Geographic Concentration of Servicing Related Assets As of December 31, 2019 Percentage of Total Outstanding Unpaid Principal Balance California 13.4 % Texas 6.2 % Maryland 5.6 % New York 5.1 % Virginia 5.1 % All other 64.6 % Total 100.0 % As of December 31, 2018 Percentage of Total Outstanding California 12.7 % Texas 6.4 % Florida 5.1 % All other 75.8 % Total 100.0 % Geographic concentrations of investments expose the Company to the risk of economic downturns within the relevant states. Any such downturn in a state where the Company holds significant investments could affect the underlying borrower’s ability to make the mortgage payment and, therefore, could have a meaningful, negative impact on the Company’s Servicing Related Assets. |

Equity and Earnings per Common Share | Note 6 — Equity and Earnings per Common Share Common and Preferred Stock On October 9, 2013, the Company completed an initial public offering (the “IPO”) and a concurrent private placement of its common stock. The Company did not conduct any activity prior to the IPO and the concurrent private placement. The Company’s 8.2% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) ranks senior to the Company’s common stock with respect to rights to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up. The Series A Preferred Stock has no stated maturity, is not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption and will remain outstanding indefinitely unless repurchased or redeemed by the Company or converted by the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock into the Company’s common stock in connection with certain changes of control. The Series A Preferred Stock is not redeemable by the Company prior to August 17, 2022, except under circumstances intended to preserve the Company’s qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes and except upon the occurrence of certain changes of control. On and after August 17, 2022, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, for cash at a redemption price equal to $25.00 per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption. If the Company does not exercise its rights to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock upon certain changes in control, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have the right to convert some or all of their shares of Series A Preferred Stock into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock based on a defined formula, subject to a share cap, or alternative consideration. The share cap on each share of Series A Preferred Stock is 2.62881 shares of common stock, subject to certain adjustments. The Company pays cumulative cash dividends at the rate of 8.2% per annum of the $25.00 per share liquidation preference (equivalent to $2.05 per annum per share) on the Series A Preferred Stock, in arrears, on or about the 15th day of January, April, July and October of each year. On June 4, 2018, the Company issued and sold 2,750,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share. The underwriters subsequently exercised their option to purchase an additional 338,857 shares for total proceeds of approximately $53.8 million after underwriting discounts and commissions but before expenses of approximately $265,000. All of the net proceeds were invested in RMBS. On February 11, 2019, the Company completed an offering of 1,800,000 shares of the Company’s 8.3% Series B Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”). The underwriters subsequently exercised their option to purchase an additional 200,000 shares for total proceeds of approximately $48.4 million after underwriting discounts and commissions but before expenses of approximately $285,000. The net proceeds were invested in RMBS and MSRs. The Series B Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Company’s common stock with respect to rights to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, and on parity with the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock with respect to rights to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up. The Series B Preferred Stock has no stated maturity, is not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption and will remain outstanding indefinitely unless repurchased or redeemed by the Company or converted by the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock into the Company’s common stock in connection with certain changes of control. The Series B Preferred Stock is not redeemable by the Company prior to April 15, 2024, except under circumstances intended to preserve the Company’s qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes and except upon the occurrence of certain changes of control. On and after April 15, 2024, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Series B Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, for cash at a redemption price equal to $25.00 per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption. If the Company does not exercise its rights to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock upon certain changes in control, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock have the right to convert some or all of their shares of Series B Preferred Stock into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock based on a defined formula, subject to a share cap, or alternative consideration. The share cap on each share of Series B Preferred Stock is 2.68962 shares of common stock, subject to certain adjustments. Holders of Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends (i) from and including February 11, 2019 to, but excluding, April 15, 2024 at a fixed rate equal to 8.250% per annum of the $25.00 per share liquidation preference (equivalent to $2.0625 per annum per share) and (ii) from and including April 15, 2024, at a floating rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 5.631% per annum. Dividends are payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of each January, April, July and October, when and as authorized by the Company’s board of directors and declared by the Company. A significant portion of the paydowns of the RMBS acquired with offering proceeds have been or will be deployed into the acquisition of MSRs. The Company may also sell certain of these RMBS and deploy the net proceeds from such sales to the extent necessary to fund the purchase price of MSRs. Common Stock ATM Program In August 2018, the Company instituted an at-the-market offering (the “Common Stock ATM Program”) of up to $50,000,000 of its common stock. Under the Common Stock ATM Program, the Company may, but is not obligated to, sell shares of common stock from time to time through one or more selling agents. The Common Stock ATM Program has no set expiration date and may be renewed or terminated by the Company at any time. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company issued and sold 225,646 shares of common stock under the Common Stock ATM Program. The shares were sold at a weighted average price of $17.40 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $3.9 million before fees of approximately $79,000. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company issued and sold 833,593 shares of common stock under the Common Stock ATM Program. The shares were sold at a weighted average price of $18.84 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $15.7 million before fees of approximately $314,000. Preferred Stock ATM Program In April 2018, the Company instituted an at-the-market offering (the “Preferred Series A ATM Program”) of up to $35,000,000 of its Series A Preferred Stock. Under the Preferred Series A ATM Program, the Company may, but is not obligated to, sell shares of Series A Preferred Stock from time to time through one or more selling agents. The Preferred Series A ATM Program has no set expiration date and may be renewed or terminated by the Company at any time. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company issued and sold 63,429 shares of Series A Preferred Stock under the Preferred Series A ATM Program. The shares were sold at a weighted average price of $25.21 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $1.6 million before fees of approximately $26,000. Share Repurchase Program In September 2019, the Company instituted a share repurchase program that allows for the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $10,000,000 of the Company’s common stock. Shares may be repurchased from time to time through privately negotiated transactions or open market transactions, pursuant to a trading plan in accordance with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, or by any combination of such methods. The manner, price, number and timing of share repurchases are subject to a variety of factors, including market conditions and applicable SEC rules. The share repurchase program does not require the purchase of any minimum number of shares, and, subject to SEC rules, purchases may be commenced or suspended at any time without prior notice. Unless sooner terminated or extended, the share repurchase program expires on September 3, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company repurchased 235,950 shares of its common stock at a weighted average purchase price of $14.59 per share and paid brokers commissions of approximately $7,000 on such repurchases.

The 2013 Plan provides for the grant of options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, stock awards, stock appreciation rights, performance units, incentive awards and other equity-based awards, including long term incentive plan units (“LTIP-OP Units”) of the Operating Partnership. LTIP-OP Units are a special class of partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. LTIP-OP Units may be issued to eligible participants for the performance of services to or for the benefit of the Operating Partnership. Initially, LTIP-OP Units do not have full parity with the Operating Partnership’s common units of limited partnership interest (“OP Units”) with respect to liquidating distributions; however, LTIP-OP Units receive, whether vested or not, the same per-unit distributions as OP Units and are allocated their pro-rata share of the Operating Partnership’s net income or loss. Under the terms of the LTIP-OP Units, the Operating Partnership will revalue its assets upon the occurrence of certain specified events, and any increase in the Operating Partnership’s valuation from the time of grant of the LTIP-OP Units until such event will be allocated first to the holders of LTIP-OP Units to equalize the capital accounts of such holders with the capital accounts of the holders of OP Units. Upon equalization of the capital accounts of the holders of LTIP-OP Units with the other holders of OP Units, the LTIP-OP Units will achieve full parity with OP Units for all purposes, including with respect to liquidating distributions. If such parity is reached, vested LTIP-OP Units may be converted into an equal number of OP Units at any time and, thereafter, enjoy all the rights of OP Units, including redemption rights. Each LTIP-OP Unit awarded is deemed equivalent to an award of one share of the Company’s common stock under the 2013 Plan and reduces the 2013 Plan’s share authorization for other awards on a one-for-one basis. An LTIP-OP Unit and a share of common stock of the Company have substantially the same economic characteristics in as much as they effectively share equally in the net income or loss of the Operating Partnership. Holders of LTIP-OP Units that have reached parity with OP Units have the right to redeem their LTIP-OP Units, subject to certain restrictions. The redemption is required to be satisfied in cash, or at the Company’s option, the Company may purchase the OP Units for common stock, calculated as follows: one share of the Company’s common stock, or cash equal to the fair value of a share of the Company’s common stock at the time of redemption, for each LTIP-OP Unit. When an LTIP-OP Unit holder redeems an OP Unit (as described above), non-controlling interest in the Operating Partnership is reduced and the Company’s equity is increased. LTIP-OP Units vest ratably over the first three The following table sets forth the number of shares of the Company’s common stock and the values thereof (based on the closing prices on the respective dates of grant) granted under the 2013 Plan. Except as otherwise indicated, all shares are fully vested. The following tables present certain information about the 2013 Plan as of the dates indicated: Equity Incentive Plan Information LTIP-OP Units Shares of Common Stock Issued Forfeited Converted Issued Forfeited Number of Securities Remaining Available For Future Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans Weighted Average Issuance Price December 31, 2017 (178,500 ) 916 12,917 (49,619 ) 3,155 1,288,869 Number of securities issued or to be issued upon exercise (45,400 ) (A) - - (8,256 ) (B) - (53,656 ) $ 18.17 December 31, 2018 (223,900 ) 916 12,917 (57,875 ) 3,155 1,235,213 Number of securities issued or to be issued upon exercise (66,375 ) (C) - 6,000 (18,789 ) (D) - (79,164 ) $ 16.68 December 31, 2019 (290,275 ) 916 18,917 (76,664 ) 3,155 1,156,049 (A) Subject to forfeiture in certain circumstances prior to June 13, 2021.

(D) Subject to forfeiture in certain circumstances prior to June 13, 2020. The Company recognized approximately $1.0 million and $662,000 in share-based compensation expense in the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. There was approximately $1.2 million of total unrecognized share-based compensation expense as of December 31, 2019, all of which was related to unvested LTIP-OP Units. This unrecognized share-based compensation expense is expected to be recognized ratably over the remaining vesting period of up to three years. The aggregate expense related to the LTIP-OP Unit grants is presented as “General and administrative expense” in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. Non-Controlling Interests in Operating Partnership Non-controlling interests in the Operating Partnership in the accompanying consolidated financial statements relate to LTIP-OP Units and OP Units issued upon conversion of LTIP-OP Units, in either case, held by parties other than the Company. As of December 31, 2019, the non-controlling interest holders in the Operating Partnership owned 270,442 LTIP-OP Units, or approximately 1.6% of the units of the Operating Partnership. Pursuant to ASC 810, Consolidation Earnings per Common Share The Company is required to present both basic and diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”). Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the additional dilutive effect of common stock equivalents during each period. In accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share The following table presents basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands, except per share data): Earnings per Common Share Information Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 2017 Numerator: Net loss $ (50,675 ) $ 34,269 $ 46,430 Net loss allocated to noncontrolling interests in Operating Partnership 819 (443 ) (633 ) Dividends on preferred stock 9,353 5,297 1,833 Net loss applicable to common stockholders $ (59,209 ) $ 28,529 $ 43,964 Denominator: Weighted average common shares outstanding 16,775,113 14,649,242 11,443,493 Weighted average diluted shares outstanding 16,787,902 14,657,498 11,450,831 Basic and Diluted EPS: Basic $ (3.53 ) $ 1.95 $ 3.84 Diluted $ (3.53 ) $ 1.95 $ 3.84 There were no participating securities or equity instruments outstanding that were anti-dilutive for purposes of calculating earnings per share for the periods presented. |

Transactions with Affiliates and Affiliated Entities | Note 7 — Transactions with Affiliates and Affiliated Entities Manager The Company has entered into the Management Agreement with the Manager, pursuant to which the Manager provides for the day-to-day management of the Company’s operations. The Management Agreement requires the Manager to manage the Company’s business affairs in conformity with the policies that are approved and monitored by the Company’s board of directors. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Manager, under the supervision of the Company’s board of directors, formulates investment strategies, arranges for the acquisition of assets, arranges for financing, monitors the performance of the Company’s assets and provides certain advisory, administrative and managerial services in connection with the operations of the Company. For performing these services, the Company pays the Manager the management fee which is payable in cash quarterly in arrears, in an amount equal to 1.5% per annum of the Company’s stockholders’ equity (as defined in the Management Agreement). The term of the Management Agreement will expire on October 22, 2020 and will be automatically renewed for a one-year term on such date and on each anniversary of such date thereafter unless terminated or not renewed as described below. Either we or our Manager may elect not to renew the Management Agreement upon expiration of its initial term or any renewal term by providing written notice of non-renewal at least 180 days, but not more than 270 days, before expiration. In the event we elect not to renew the term, we will be required to pay our Manager a termination fee equal to three times the average annual management fee amount earned by the Manager during the two four-quarter periods ending as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter prior to the non-renewal. We may terminate the Management Agreement at any time for cause effective upon 30 days prior written notice of termination from us to our Manager, in which case no termination fee would be due. Our board of directors will review our Manager’s performance prior to the automatic renewal thereof and, as a result of such review, upon the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the members of our board of directors or of the holders of a majority of our outstanding common stock, we may terminate the Management Agreement based upon unsatisfactory performance by our Manager that is materially detrimental to us or a determination by our independent directors that the management fees payable to our Manager are not fair, subject to the right of our Manager to prevent such a termination by agreeing to a reduction of the management fees payable to our Manager. Upon any termination of the Management Agreement based on unsatisfactory performance or unfair management fees, we are required to pay our Manager the termination fee described above. Our Manager may terminate the Management Agreement in the event the Company becomes regulated as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, in which case the Company would not be required to pay the termination fee described above. Our Manager may also terminate the Management Agreement upon 60 days’ written notice if we default in the performance of any material term of the Management Agreement and the default continues for a period of 30 days after written notice to us, whereupon we would be required to pay our Manager the termination fee described above. The Manager is a party to a services agreement (the “Services Agreement”) with Freedom Mortgage, pursuant to which Freedom Mortgage provides to the Manager the personnel, services and resources needed by the Manager to carry out its obligations and responsibilities under the Management Agreement. The Company is a named third-party beneficiary to the Services Agreement and, as a result, has, as a non-exclusive remedy, a direct right of action against Freedom Mortgage in the event of any breach by the Manager of any of its duties, obligations or agreements under the Management Agreement that arise out of or result from any breach by Freedom Mortgage of its obligations under the Services Agreement. The Services Agreement will terminate upon the termination of the Management Agreement. Pursuant to the Services Agreement, the Manager will make certain payments to Freedom Mortgage in connection with the services provided. The Management Agreement between the Company and the Manager was negotiated between related parties, and the terms, including fees payable, may not be as favorable to the Company as if it had been negotiated with an unaffiliated third party. At the time the Management Agreement was negotiated, both the Manager and Freedom Mortgage were controlled by Mr. Stanley Middleman, who is also a shareholder of the Company. In 2016, ownership of the Manager was transferred to CHMM Blind Trust, a grantor trust for the benefit of Mr. Middleman. The Management Agreement provides that the Company will reimburse the Manager for (i) various expenses incurred by the Manager or its officers, and agents on the Company’s behalf, including costs of software, legal, accounting, tax, administrative and other similar services rendered for the Company by providers retained by the Manager and (ii) the allocable portion of the compensation paid to specified officers dedicated to the Company. The amounts under “Due to affiliates” on the consolidated balance sheets consisted of the following for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands): Management Fees and Compensation Reimbursement to Affiliate Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 2017 Management fees $ 6,832 $ 5,088 $ 3,583 Compensation reimbursement 952 858 764 Total $ 7,784 $ 5,946 $ 4,347 Subservicing Agreement Freedom Mortgage is directly servicing the Company’s portfolio of Ginnie Mae MSRs pursuant to a subservicing agreement entered into on June 10, 2015. Although Freedom Mortgage gave notice of termination of the subservicing agreement without cause during the third quarter of 2018, as required by that agreement, Freedom Mortgage has continued to service the Ginnie Mae MSRs pending transfer of the servicing responsibilities, and Aurora has continued to pay for such services. The parties subsequently decided to reinstate the agreement on the terms in effect at the time of the notice of termination, including a three-year term subject to automatic renewal for a similar term unless sooner terminated in accordance with its terms. Joint Marketing Recapture Agreement In June 2016, Aurora entered into a joint marketing recapture agreement with Freedom Mortgage. Pursuant to this agreement, Freedom Mortgage attempts to refinance certain mortgage loans underlying Aurora’s MSR portfolio subserviced by Freedom Mortgage as directed by Aurora. If a loan is refinanced, Aurora will pay Freedom Mortgage a fee for its origination services. Freedom Mortgage will be entitled to sell the loan for its own benefit and will transfer the related MSR to Aurora. The agreement had an initial term of one year, subject to automatic renewals of one year each. This agreement continues in effect since the termination of the subservicing agreement was not, and now will not be, completed by the transfer of the Ginnie Mae MSRs to another subservicer. During the year ended December 31, 2019, MSRs on 19 loans with an aggregate UPB of approximately $4.4 million had been received from Freedom Mortgage which generated approximately $5,200 in fees due to Freedom Mortgage. During the year ended December 31, 2018, MSRs on 98 loans with an aggregate UPB of approximately $21.5 million had been received from Freedom Mortgage which generated approximately $32,000 in fees due to Freedom Mortgage. Sale of Excess MSRs On November 15, 2016, the Company sold a portion of the Excess MSRs back to Freedom Mortgage for cash. The Company sold the remaining Excess MSRs back to Freedom Mortgage on February 1, 2017. In connection with this sale of Excess MSRs, Freedom Mortgage transferred to Aurora Ginnie Mae MSRs with a UPB of approximately $4.5 billion and a weighted average servicing fee of approximately 30 basis points at the time of acquisition. The sale has been classified within “Realized gain on investments in Excess MSRs, net” on the consolidated statements of income (loss). Other Transactions with Affiliated Persons Aurora leases five employees from Freedom Mortgage and reimburses Freedom Mortgage on a monthly basis. The Company entered into a loan servicing purchase and sale agreement with Freedom Mortgage on December 15, 2016. The amount of holdback remaining under this agreement was approximately $757,000 as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and has been classified within “Accrued expenses and other liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company incurred losses of approximately $382,000 on loans repurchased from Ginnie Mae during the year ended December 31, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2018, there were no such losses since the losses were offset against the holdback amount under the agreement. Under the terms of the agreement with Freedom Mortgage, $326,000 of these foreclosure related losses were on VA loans repurchased from Ginnie Mae and are recoverable from Freedom Mortgage and have been classified within “Receivables and other assets” on the consolidated balance sheets. The remaining $56,000 foreclosure related losses are not reimbursable. |

Derivative Instruments | Note 8 — Derivative Instruments Interest Rate Swap Agreements, Swaptions, TBAs and Treasury Futures In order to help mitigate exposure to higher short-term interest rates in connection with borrowings under its repurchase agreements, the Company enters into interest rate swap agreements and swaption agreements. Interest rate swap agreements establish an economic fixed rate on related borrowings because the variable-rate payments received on the interest rate swap agreements largely offset interest accruing on the related borrowings, leaving the fixed-rate payments to be paid on the interest rate swap agreements as the Company’s effective borrowing rate, subject to certain adjustments including changes in spreads between variable rates on the interest rate swap agreements and actual borrowing rates. A swaption is an option granting its owner the right but not the obligation to enter into an underlying swap. The Company’s interest rate swap agreements and swaptions have not been designated as qualifying hedging instruments for GAAP purposes. In order to help mitigate duration risk and manage basis risk and the pricing risk under the Company’s financing facilities, the Company utilizes Treasury futures and forward-settling purchases and sales of RMBS where the underlying pools of mortgage loans are TBAs. Pursuant to these TBA transactions, the Company agrees to purchase or sell, for future delivery, Agency RMBS with certain principal and interest terms and certain types of underlying collateral, but the particular Agency RMBS to be delivered is not identified until shortly before the TBA settlement date.

Under GAAP, if the Company has a valid right of offset, it may offset the related asset and liability and report the net amount. The Company presents interest rate swaps, swaptions and Treasury futures assets and liabilities on a gross basis in its consolidated balance sheets, but in the case of interest rate swaps beginning in 2018, net of variation margin. The Company presents TBA assets and liabilities on a net basis in its consolidated balance sheets. The Company presents repurchase agreements in this section even though they are not derivatives because they are subject to master netting arrangements. However, repurchase agreements are presented on a gross basis. Additionally, the Company does not offset financial assets and liabilities with the associated cash collateral on the consolidated balance sheets.

Fair Value [Abstract] | |
Fair Value | Note 9 – Fair Value Fair Value Measurements ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 clarifies that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices available in active markets (i.e., observable inputs) and the lowest priority to data lacking transparency (i.e., unobservable inputs). Additionally, ASC 820 requires an entity to consider all aspects of nonperformance risk, including the entity’s own credit standing, when measuring the fair value of a liability. ASC 820 establishes a three level hierarchy to be used when measuring and disclosing fair value. An instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of significant input to its valuation. Following is a description of the three levels: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the measurement date under current market conditions. Additionally, the entity must have the ability to access the active market and the quoted prices cannot be adjusted by the entity. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in inactive markets for identical or similar assets or liabilities; or inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means for substantially the full-term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 unobservable inputs are supported by little or no market activity. The unobservable inputs represent the assumptions that management believes market participants would use to price the assets and liabilities, including risk. Generally, Level 3 assets and liabilities are valued using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques that require significant judgment or estimation. Recurring Fair Value Measurements The following is a description of the methods used to estimate the fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as the basis for classifying these assets and liabilities as Level 2 or 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s valuations consider assumptions that it believes a market participant would consider in valuing the assets and liabilities, the most significant of which are disclosed below. The Company reassesses and periodically adjusts the underlying inputs and assumptions used in the valuations for recent historical experience, as well as for current and expected relevant market conditions. RMBS The Company holds a portfolio of RMBS that are classified as available for sale and are carried at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company determines the fair value of its RMBS based upon prices obtained from third-party pricing providers. The third-party pricing providers use pricing models that generally incorporate such factors as coupons, primary and secondary mortgage rates, rate reset period, issuer, prepayment speeds, credit enhancements and expected life of the security. As a result, the Company classified 100% of its RMBS as Level 2 fair value assets at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. MSRs The Company, through its subsidiary Aurora, holds a portfolio of MSRs that are reported at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company uses a discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of these assets. Although MSR transactions are observable in the marketplace, the valuation includes unobservable market data inputs (prepayment speeds, delinquency levels, costs to service and discount rates). As a result, the Company classified 100% of its MSRs as Level 3 fair value assets at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Derivative Instruments The Company enters into a variety of derivative instruments as part of its economic hedging strategies. The Company executes interest rate swaps, swaptions, TBAs and treasury futures. The Company utilizes third-party pricing providers to value its derivative instruments. As a result, the Company classified 100% of its derivative instruments as Level 2 fair value assets and liabilities at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Both the Company and the derivative counterparties under their netting arrangements are required to post cash collateral based upon the net underlying market value of the Company’s open positions with the counterparties. Posting of cash collateral typically occurs daily, subject to certain dollar thresholds. Due to the existence of netting arrangements, as well as frequent cash collateral posting at low posting thresholds, credit exposure to the Company and/or counterparties is considered materially mitigated. The Company’s interest rate swaps and Treasury futures contracts are required to be cleared on an exchange, which further mitigates, but does not eliminate, credit risk. Based on the Company’s assessment, there is no requirement for any additional adjustment to derivative valuations specifically for credit. The following tables present the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the dates indicated (dollars in thousands).

These periodic fair value measures typically result from application of certain impairment measures under GAAP. These items would constitute nonrecurring fair value measures under ASC 820. As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the periods presented. Level 3 Assets and Liabilities The valuation of Level 3 assets and liabilities requires significant judgment by management. The Company estimates the fair value of its Servicing Related Assets based on internal pricing models rather than quotations, and compares the results of these internal models against the results from models generated by third-party pricing providers. The third-party pricing providers and management rely on inputs such as market price quotations from market makers (either market or indicative levels), original transaction price, recent transactions in the same or similar instruments, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows to determine fair value. Level 3 instruments may also be discounted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by third-party pricing providers and management in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by third-party pricing providers and management due to lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and, therefore, the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company’s management reviews all valuations that are based on pricing information received from third-party pricing providers. As part of this review, prices are compared against other pricing or input data points in the marketplace, along with internal valuation expertise, to ensure the pricing is reasonable. Changes in market conditions, as well as changes in the assumptions or methodology used to determine fair value, could result in a significant change to estimated fair values. The determination of estimated cash flows used in pricing models is inherently subjective and imprecise. It should be noted that minor changes in assumptions or estimation methodologies can have a material effect on these derived or estimated fair values, and that the fair values reflected below are indicative of the interest rate and credit spread environments as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and do not take into consideration the effects of subsequent changes in market or other factors. The tables below present the reconciliation for the Company’s Level 3 assets (Servicing Related Assets) measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the dates indicated (dollars in thousands): Level 3 Fair Value Measurements As of December 31, 2019 Level 3 (A) MSRs Balance at December 31, 2018 $ 294,907 Purchases, sales and principal paydowns: Purchases 104,969 Other changes (B) (1,993 ) Purchases, sales and principal paydowns: $ 102,976 Changes in Fair Value due to: Changes in valuation inputs or assumptions used in valuation model (43,737 ) Other changes in fair value (C) (63,035 ) Unrealized gain (loss) included in Net Income $ (106,772 ) Balance at December 31, 2019 $ 291,111 As of December 31, 2018 Level 3 (A) MSRs Balance at December 31, 2017 $ 122,806 Purchases, sales and principal paydowns: Purchases 178,192 Other changes (B) (2,518 ) Purchases, sales and principal paydowns: $ 175,674 Changes in Fair Value due to: Changes in valuation inputs or assumptions used in valuation model 14,648 Other changes in fair value (C) (18,221 ) Unrealized gain (loss) included in Net Income $ (3,573 ) Balance at December 31, 2018 $ 294,907 (A) Includes the recapture agreement for each respective pool.

A change in the assumption used for discount rates may be accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the probability of uncollected payments and a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for prepayment rates. Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities In accordance with ASC 820, the Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets, for which fair value can be estimated. The following describes the Company’s methods for estimating the fair value for financial instruments. ● RMBS available for sale securities, Servicing Related Assets, derivative assets and derivative liabilities are recurring fair value measurements; carrying value equals fair value. See discussion of valuation methods and assumptions within the “Fair Value Measurements” section of this footnote. ● Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash have a carrying value which approximates fair value because of the short maturities of these instruments. ● The carrying value of repurchase agreements and corporate debt that mature in less than one year generally approximates fair value due to the short maturities. The Company does not hold any repurchase agreements that are considered long-term. Corporate debt that matures in more than one year consists solely of financing secured by Aurora’s Servicing Related Assets. Approximately ninety percent of the debt is revolving and bears interest at adjustable rates, while the remaining portion is amortizing and bears interest at a fixed rate. Due to the amount of the fixed debt relative to that of all of the corporate debt, the Company considers that the amount of the corporate debt generally approximates fair value. Repurchased loans held for sale consist primarily of Ginnie Mae buyouts that the Company has purchased at par plus accrued interest. These loans are held for sale and valued at the lower of cost or fair market value. Carrying value of the loans approximates fair value since substantially all such loans are promptly resold for a price that approximates the amount for which they were repurchased by the Company, net of any amortization. |

Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Note 10 — Commitments and Contingencies The commitments and contingencies of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are described below. Management Agreement The Company pays the Manager a quarterly management fee, calculated and payable quarterly in arrears, equal to the product of one quarter of the 1.5% management fee annual rate and the stockholders’ equity, adjusted as set forth in the Management Agreement as of the end of such fiscal quarter. The Manager relies on resources of Freedom Mortgage to provide the Manager with the necessary resources to conduct the Company’s operations. For further discussion regarding the management fee, see Note 7. Legal and Regulatory From time to time, the Company may be subject to potential liability under laws and government regulations and various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Liabilities are established for legal claims when payments associated with the claims become probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. The actual costs of resolving legal claims may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts established for those claims. Based on information currently available, management is not aware of any legal or regulatory claims that would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and, therefore, no accrual is required as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Commitments to Purchase/Sell RMBS As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company held forward TBA purchase and sale commitments, respectively, with counterparties, which are forward Agency RMBS trades, whereby the Company committed to purchasing or selling a pool of securities at a particular interest rate. As of the date of the trade, the mortgage-backed securities underlying the pool that will be delivered to fulfill a TBA trade are not yet designated. The securities are typically “to be announced” 48 hours prior to the established trade settlement date. As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company was not obligated to purchase or sell any Agency RMBS securities. Acknowledgment Agreements In connection with the Fannie Mae MSR Financing Facility (as defined below) entered into by Aurora and QRS III, those parties also entered into an acknowledgment agreement with Fannie Mae. Pursuant to that agreement, Fannie Mae consented to the pledge by Aurora and QRS III of their respective interests in MSRs for loans owned or securitized by Fannie Mae, and acknowledged the security interest of the lender in those MSRs. See Note 12—Notes Payable for a description of the Fannie Mae MSR Financing Facility and the financing facility it replaced. In connection with the MSR Revolver (as defined below), Aurora, QRS V, and the lender, with a limited joinder by the Company, entered into an acknowledgement agreement with Freddie Mac pursuant to which Freddie Mac consented to the pledge of the Freddie Mac MSRs securing the MSR Revolver. Aurora and the lender also entered into a consent agreement with Freddie Mac pursuant to which Freddie Mac consented to the pledge of Aurora’s rights to reimbursement for advances on the underlying loans. See Note 12—Notes Payable for a description of the MSR Revolver. |

Notes Payable [Abstract] | |
Notes Payable | Note 12 – Notes Payable In September 2016, Aurora and QRS III entered into a loan and security agreement (the “MSR Financing Facility”), pursuant to which Aurora and QRS III pledged their respective rights in all existing and future MSRs for loans owned or securitized by Fannie Mae to secure borrowings up to a maximum of $25.0 million outstanding at any one time, subsequently amended to $100 million with the revolving period extended to December 20, 2020. During the revolving period, borrowings bear interest at a rate equal to a spread over one-month LIBOR subject to a floor. At the end of the revolving period, the outstanding amount will be converted to a three-year term loan that will bear interest at a rate calculated at a spread over the rate for one-year interest rate swaps. The revolving period may be further extended by agreement. The Company has previously guaranteed repayment of all indebtedness under the MSR Financing Facility. Approximately $96.5 million was outstanding under the MSR Financing Facility at December 31, 2018. There was no outstanding balance under the MSR Financing Facility at December 31, 2019 because the MSR Financing Facility and the related acknowledgement agreement with Fannie Mae were terminated and replaced in September 2019. In May 2017, the Company, Aurora and QRS IV obtained a $20.0 million loan (the “MSR Term Facility”) secured by the pledge of Aurora’s Ginnie Mae MSRs and the Company’s ownership interest in QRS IV. The loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.18% per annum, amortizes on a ten-year amortization schedule and is due on May 18, 2022. In October 2019, the MSR Term Facility was amended to provide an additional $10 million of borrowing capacity to finance servicing advances on the Ginnie Mae MSRs pledged under the facility. Amounts available to finance servicing advances may be borrowed and reborrowed from time to time and bear interest at a floating rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin. The MSR Term Facility, including the revolving facility for servicing advances, is scheduled to terminate on May 18, 2022. In July 2018, the Company, Aurora and QRS V (collectively with Aurora and the Company, the “Borrowers”) entered into a $25.0 million revolving credit facility (the “MSR Revolver”) pursuant to which Aurora pledged all of its existing and future MSRs on loans owned or securitized by Freddie Mac. The term of the MSR Revolver is 364 days with the Borrowers’ option for two renewals for similar terms followed by a one-year term out feature with a 24-month amortization schedule. The MSR Revolver was upsized to $45.0 million in September 2018. The Company also has the ability to request up to an additional $5.0 million of borrowings. On April 2, 2019, the Borrowers entered into an amendment that increased the maximum amount of the MSR Revolver to $100.0 million. On June 5, 2019, the term of the MSR Revolver was renewed to July 30, 2020. Amounts borrowed bear interest at an adjustable rate equal to a spread above one-month LIBOR. Approximately $55.5 million and $45.0 million was outstanding under the MSR Revolver at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. In September 2019, Aurora and QRS III entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Fannie Mae MSR Financing Facility”), to replace the MSR Financing Facility. Under the Fannie Mae MSR Facility, Aurora and QRS III pledged their respective rights in all existing and future MSRs for loans owned or securitized by Fannie Mae to secure borrowings outstanding from time to time. The maximum credit amount outstanding at any one time under the facility is $200.0 million of which $100.0 million is committed. Borrowings bear interest at a rate equal to a spread over one-month LIBOR subject to a floor. The term of the facility is 24 months subject to extension for an additional 12 months if the lender agrees beginning in the 20 th The outstanding long-term borrowings had the following remaining maturities as of the dates indicated (dollars in thousands): Long-Term Borrowings Repayment Characteristics As of December 31, 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 Total MSR Term Facility Borrowings under MSR Term Facility $ 2,000 $ 2,000 $ 10,996 $ - $ - $ 14,996 MSR Revolver Borrowings under MSR Revolver Facility $ - $ 55,500 $ - $ - $ - $ 55,500 Fannie Mae MSR Financing Facility Borrowings under Fannie Mae MSR Financing Facility $ - $ 97,000 $ - $ - $ - $ 97,000 Total $ 2,000 $ 154,500 $ 10,996 $ - $ - $ 167,496 As of December 31, 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 Total MSR Term Facility Borrowings under MSR Term Facility $ 2,000 $ 2,000 $ 2,000 $ 10,996 $ - $ 16,996 MSR Financing Facility Borrowings under MSR Financing Facility $ - $ 6,195 $ 90,305 $ - $ - $ 96,500 MSR Revolver Borrowings under MSR Revolver Facility $ - $ - $ 45,000 $ - $ - $ 45,000 Total $ 2,000 $ 8,195 $ 137,305 $ 10,996 $ - $ 158,496 |

Income Taxes [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Note 16 – Income Taxes The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under Code Sections 856 through 860 beginning with its short taxable year ended December 31, 2013. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent that it distributes its taxable income to its stockholders. To maintain qualification as a REIT, the Company must distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income to its stockholders and meet certain other requirements such as assets it may hold, income it may generate and its stockholder composition. It is the Company’s policy to distribute all or substantially all of its REIT taxable income. To the extent there is any undistributed REIT taxable income at the end of a year, the Company can elect to distribute such shortfall within the next year as permitted by the Code. Effective January 1, 2014, CHMI Solutions elected to be taxed as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes; prior to this date, CHMI Solutions was a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. CHMI Solutions has jointly elected with the Company, the ultimate beneficial owner of CHMI Solutions, to be treated as a TRS of the Company, and all activities conducted through CHMI Solutions and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Aurora, are subject to federal and state income taxes. CHMI Solutions files a consolidated tax return with Aurora and is fully taxed as a U.S. C-Corporation. The state and local tax jurisdictions for which the Company is subject to tax filing obligations recognize the Company’s status as a REIT, and therefore, the Company generally does not pay income tax in such jurisdictions. CHMI Solutions and Aurora are subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes. The components of the Company’s income tax expense (benefit) are as follows for the periods indicated below (dollars in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 2017 Current federal income tax expense (benefit) $- $116 $(575) Current state income tax expense (benefit) - 35 (62) Deferred federal income tax benefit (8,403) 3,570 2,635 Deferred state income tax benefit (1,522) 806 552 Benefit from Corporate Business Taxes $(9,925) $4,527 $2,550 The following is a reconciliation of the statutory federal rate to the effective rate, for the periods indicated below (dollars in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 2017 Computed income tax expense (benefit) at federal rate $ (12,724 ) 21.0 % $ 8,225 21.2 % $ 17,015 34.7 % State tax benefit, net of federal tax, if applicable (664 ) 1.1 % 833 2.1 % 417 0.9 % Tax benefit due to federal rate change - 0 % - 0 % (1,428 ) (2.9 )% Tax provision due to State tax rate change (858 ) 1.4 % - 0 % - 0 % Provision to return adjustment 5 0.0 % 4 0 % (179 ) (0.4 )% REIT income not subject to tax (benefit) 4,316 (7.1 )% (4,535 ) (11.7 )% (13,275 ) (27.1 )% Benefit from Corporate Business Taxes/Effective Tax Rate (A) $ (9,925 ) 16.4 % $ 4,527 11.6 % $ 2,550 5.2 % (A) The provision for income taxes is recorded at the TRS level. The Company’s consolidated balance sheets, at December 31, 2019, December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, contain the following current and deferred tax liabilities and assets, which are recorded at the TRS level (dollars in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 2017 Income taxes payable Federal income taxes payable $ - $ 116 $ - State and local income taxes payable - 35 - Income taxes payable $ - $ 151 $ - December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 Deferred tax assets Deferred tax - organizational expenses $ - $ (4 ) $ (10 ) Deferred tax - mortgage servicing rights (995 ) 7,170 2,858 Deferred tax - net operating loss (1,763 ) - (56 ) Total net deferred tax assets $ (2,758 ) $ 7,166 $ 2,792 The deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2019, deferred tax liabilities as of December 31, 2018 and deferred tax liabilities as of December 31, 2017 were each primarily related to MSRs. No valuation allowance has been established at December 31, 2019, December 31, 2018 or December 31, 2017. As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, deferred tax liabilities are included in “Accrued expenses and other liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”) was signed into law. The TCJA includes a number of significant changes to existing U.S. corporate income tax laws, most notably a reduction of the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, effective January 1, 2018. The Company measures deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will apply in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or paid. Accordingly, the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities were remeasured to reflect the reduction in the U.S. corporate income tax rate, resulting in a $459,000 decrease in income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2017 and a corresponding decrease of the same amount in the Company’s deferred tax liabilities as of December 31, 2017. Based on the Company’s evaluation, the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Additionally, there were no amounts accrued for penalties or interest as of or during the periods presented in these consolidated financial statements. The Company’s 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012 federal, state and local income tax returns remain open for examination by the relevant authorities. |

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Accounting | Basis of Accounting The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The Company consolidates those entities in which it has an investment of 50% or more and has control over significant operating, financial and investing decisions of the entity. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make a number of significant estimates and assumptions. These include estimates of: mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs” or “Servicing Related Assets”); residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS” or “securities”) and derivatives; credit losses, including the period of time during which the Company anticipates an increase in the fair values of RMBS sufficient to recover unrealized losses on those RMBS; and other estimates that affect the reported amounts of certain assets, revenues, liabilities and expenses as of the date of, and for the periods covered by, the consolidated financial statements. It is likely that changes in these estimates will occur in the near term. The Company’s estimates are inherently subjective in nature. Actual results could differ from the Company’s estimates, and the differences may be material. |
Risks and Uncertainties | Risks and Uncertainties In the normal course of business, the Company encounters primarily two significant types of economic risk: credit and market. Credit risk is the risk of default on the Company’s investments in RMBS, Servicing Related Assets and derivatives that results from a borrower’s or derivative counterparty’s inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market risk reflects changes in the value of investments in RMBS, Servicing Related Assets and derivatives due to changes in interest rates, spreads or other market factors, including prepayment speeds on the Company’s RMBS and Servicing Related Assets. The Company is subject to the risks involved with real estate and real estate-related debt instruments. These include, among others, the risks normally associated with changes in the general economic climate, changes in the mortgage market, changes in tax laws, interest rate levels, and the availability of financing. The Company also is subject to certain risks relating to its status as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If the Company were to fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its REIT income, which could be material. Unless entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions, the Company would also be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost. |
Investments in RMBS | Investments in RMBS Classification Fair value is determined under the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Investment securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. At disposition, the net realized gain or loss is determined on the basis of the cost of the specific investment and is included in earnings. All RMBS purchased and sold in the year ended December 31, 2019 were settled prior to period-end. All RMBS purchased and sold in the year ended December 31, 2018 were settled prior to year-end. Revenue Recognition Impairment – |
Investments in MSRs | Investments in MSRs Classification Although transactions in MSRs are observable in the marketplace, the valuation includes unobservable market data inputs (prepayment speeds, delinquency levels, costs to service and discount rates). Changes in the fair value of MSRs as well as servicing fee income and servicing expenses are reported on the consolidated statements of income (loss). Fluctuations in the fair value of MSRs is recorded on the consolidated statements of income (loss) as “Unrealized gain (loss) on investments in Servicing Related Assets.” In determining the valuation of MSRs in accordance with ASC 820, management uses internally developed models that are primarily based on observable market-based inputs but which also include unobservable market data inputs. The Company’s application of ASC 820 guidance is discussed in further detail in Note 9. For reporting purposes, conventional conforming loans are aggregated into one category and government conforming loans are aggregated into a separate category. Revenue Recognition As an owner and manager of MSRs, the Company may be obligated to fund advances of principal and interest payments due to third-party owners of the loans, but not yet received from the individual borrowers. These advances are reported as servicing advances within the “Receivables and other assets” line item on the consolidated balance sheets. Reimbursable servicing advances, other than principal and interest advances, also have been classified within “Receivables and other assets” on the consolidated balance sheets. Although advances on Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) MSRs made in accordance with the relevant guidelines are generally recoverable, the recoverability of similar advances made on Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”) MSRs may be limited under the rules and regulations of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Department of Veterans Affairs (the “VA”) and the Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”). The Company expects to recover advances on its Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac MSRs. In addition, unrecoverable losses on the loans underlying the Ginnie Mae MSRs have not been significant to date. As a result, the Company has determined that no reserves for unrecoverable advances for the related underlying loans are necessary at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. For further discussion on the Company’s receivables and other assets, including the Company’s servicing advances, see Note 13. Servicing fee income received and servicing expenses incurred are reported on the consolidated statements of income. The difference between the fair value of MSRs and their amortized cost basis is recorded on the consolidated statements of income as “Unrealized gain (loss) on investments in MSRs.” Fair value is generally determined by discounting the expected future cash flows using discount rates that incorporate the market risks and liquidity premium specific to the MSRs and, therefore, may differ from their effective yields. As a result of the Company’s investments in MSRs, it is obligated from time to time to repurchase an underlying loan from the applicable agency for which it is being serviced due to an alleged breach of a representation or warranty. Loans acquired in this manner are recorded at the purchase price less any principal recoveries and are then offered for sale in the scratch and dent market. Loans also may be acquired from pools backing Ginnie Mae securities in order to modify the loan. Those loans typically are re-pooled into other Ginnie Mae securities “at fair value”. Any loans acquired by the Company for either reason are accounted for as loans held for sale and are recorded in “Other Assets” in the consolidated balance sheets. |
Derivatives and Hedging Activities | Derivatives and Hedging Activities Derivative transactions include swaps, swaptions, Treasury futures and “to-be-announced” securities (“TBAs”). Swaps and swaptions are entered into by the Company solely for interest rate risk management purposes. TBAs and Treasury futures are used to manage duration risk as well as basis risk and pricing risk on the Company’s financing facilities for MSRs. The decision as to whether or not a given transaction/position (or portion thereof) is economically hedged is made on a case-by-case basis, based on the risks involved and other factors as determined by senior management, including restrictions imposed by the Code on REITs. In determining whether to economically hedge a risk, the Company may consider whether other assets, liabilities, firm commitments and anticipated transactions already offset or reduce the risk. All transactions undertaken as economic hedges are entered into with a view towards minimizing the potential for economic losses that could be incurred by the Company. Generally, derivatives entered into are not intended to qualify as hedges under GAAP, unless specifically stated otherwise. The Company’s bi-lateral derivative financial instruments contain credit risk to the extent that its counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreements. The Company reduces such risk by limiting its exposure to any one counterparty. In addition, the potential risk of loss with any one party resulting from this type of credit risk is monitored. The Company’s interest rate swaps and Treasury futures are required to be cleared on an exchange, which further mitigates, but does not eliminate, credit risk. Management does not expect any material losses as a result of default by other parties to its derivative financial instruments. Classification Revenue Recognition |
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash | Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments with maturities of 90 days or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Substantially all amounts on deposit with major financial institutions exceed insured limits. Restricted cash represents the Company’s cash held by counterparties (i) as collateral against the Company’s derivatives (approximately $5.7 million and $687,000 at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively) and (ii) as collateral for borrowings under its repurchase agreements (approximately $61.3 million and $7.5 million at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively). The Company’s centrally cleared interest rate swaps require that the Company post an “initial margin” amount determined by the clearing exchange, which is generally intended to be set at a level sufficient to protect the exchange from the interest rate swap’s maximum estimated single-day price movement. The Company also exchanges “variation margin” based upon daily changes in fair value, as measured by the exchange. As a result of amendments to rules governing certain central clearing activities, the exchange of variation margin is a settlement of the interest rate swap, as opposed to pledged collateral. Accordingly, beginning in the first quarter of 2018 and in subsequent periods, the Company has accounted for the receipt or payment of variation margin on interest rate swaps as a direct reduction or increase to the carrying value of the interest rate swap asset or liability. At December 31, 2019, $1.1 million of variation margin was reported as a decrease to the interest rate swap asset, at fair value. At December 31, 2018, $3.2 million of variation margin was reported as a decrease to the interest rate swap liability, at fair value. |
Due to Affiliate | Due to Affiliate The sum under “Due to affiliates” on the consolidated balance sheets represents amounts due to the Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement. For further information on the Management Agreement, see Note 7. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under Code Sections 856 through 860 beginning with its short taxable year ended December 31, 2013. U.S. federal income tax law generally requires that a REIT distribute annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and that it pay tax at regular corporate income tax rates to the extent that it annually distributes less than 100% of its taxable income. The Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”), CHMI Solutions, as well as CHMI Solutions’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Aurora, are subject to U.S. federal income taxes on their taxable income. To maintain qualification as a REIT, the Company must distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income to its stockholders and meet certain other requirements such as assets it may hold, income it may generate and its stockholder composition. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes |

Repurchase Agreements and Interest Expense | Repurchase Agreements and Interest Expense The Company finances its investments in RMBS with short-term borrowings under master repurchase agreements. Borrowings under the repurchase agreements are generally short-term debt due within one year. These borrowings generally bear interest rates offered by the “lending” counterparty from time to time for the term of the proposed repurchase transaction (e.g., 30 days, 60 days etc.) of a specified margin over one-month LIBOR. The repurchase agreements represent uncommitted financing. Borrowings under these agreements are treated as collateralized financing transactions and are carried at their contractual amounts, as specified in the respective agreements. Interest is recorded at the contractual amount on an accrual basis. |
Dividends Payable | Dividends Payable Because the Company is organized as a REIT under the Code, it is required by law to distribute annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, which it does in the form of quarterly dividend payments. The Company accrues the dividend payable on outstanding shares, excluding treasury shares, on the accounting date, which causes an offsetting reduction in retained earnings. |
Comprehensive Income | Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period resulting from transactions and other events and circumstances, excluding those resulting from investments by and distributions to owners. For the Company’s purposes, comprehensive income represents net income (loss), as presented in the consolidated statements of income (loss), adjusted for unrealized gains or losses on RMBS, which are designated as available for sale. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements Leases Leases, Credit Losses Financial Instruments—Credit Losses The Current Expected Credit Losses model replaces the idea of incurred losses with expected losses for all financial assets, with a few exceptions, not measured at fair value. Expected losses are estimated based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions and forecasting models. Key implementation efforts have included development of internal controls and retrospective analysis of credit related losses. Credit related impairments have not been material in the past, and no current or foreseeable economic factors were identified that would cause a significant impact, partly due to the indemnification language included in our subservicer agreements and the recoverability of servicing advances under agency guides for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. As a result, the Company has determined that the allowance would not be significant. This determination will be re-evaluated on a quarterly basis. Upon adoption, the Company will continue to assess for credit losses on available for sale securities consistent with its existing accounting policy with the exclusion of length of time a security has been in an unrealized loss position. The Company will establish an account for the allowance for credit losses on available for sale securities rather than reducing the amortized cost basis as done previously. This is not expected to have a significant impact to the Company’s RMBS portfolio. Fair Value Measurement Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements of Fair Value Measurement |
Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements | Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements Subsequent to the second quarter of 2020, the Company identified an immaterial error in the Company’s historical financial statements related to the calculation of the deferred tax asset/deferred tax liability. The immaterial error was corrected in its Current Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 with respect to the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020. The Company is correcting the same immaterial errors and other immaterial adjustments in the historical financial statements contained in the Annual Report Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed on February 27, 2020 (the “Prior Filing”). Except as described in the preceding sentence, the Company has not modified or updated disclosures contained in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Prior Filing. Consequently, all other information not affected by the revisions described above is unchanged and reflects the disclosures made at the date of the Prior Filing. |

Investments in RMBS [Abstract] | |
Summary of RMBS Investments | RMBS on which the payment of principal and interest is guaranteed by a U.S. government agency or a U.S. government sponsored enterprise are referred to as “Agency RMBS.” RMBS also includes collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) which are either loss share securities issued by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac or non-Agency RMBS, sometimes called “private label MBS,” which are structured debt instruments representing interests in specified pools of mortgage loans subdivided into multiple classes, or tranches, of securities, with each tranche having different maturities or risk profiles and different ratings by one or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (“NRSRO”). All of the Company’s RMBS are classified as available for sale and are, therefore, reported at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) except for securities that are OTTI (dollars in thousands): Summary of RMBS Assets As of December 31, 2019 Gross Unrealized Weighted Average Asset Type Original Book Gains Losses Carrying Value (A) Number of Securities Rating Coupon Yield (C) Maturity (Years) (D) RMBS Fannie Mae $ 1,878,229 $ 1,596,288 $ 23,636 $ (691 ) $ 1,619,233 198 (B) 3.80 % 3.65 % 27 Freddie Mac 824,991 715,892 12,204 (245 ) 727,851 88 (B) 3.72 % 3.59 % 28 CMOs 127,229 123,053 6,030 - 129,083 30 (B) 5.28 % 5.26 % 11 Private Label MBS 50,500 31,595 598 - 32,193 11 (B) 4.06 % 4.06 % 29 Total/Weighted Average $ 2,880,949 $ 2,466,828 $ 42,468 $ (936 ) $ 2,508,360 327 3.85 % 3.72 % 26 As of December 31, 2018 Gross Unrealized Weighted Average Asset Type Original Value Book Gains Losses Carrying Value (A) Number of Securities Rating Coupon Yield (C) Maturity (Years) (D) RMBS Fannie Mae $ 1,362,606 $ 1,208,854 $ 224 $ (30,914 ) $ 1,178,164 154 (B) 3.87 % 3.70 % 25 Freddie Mac 548,862 471,148 246 (12,386 ) 459,008 63 (B) 3.75 % 3.60 % 27 CMOs 100,129 99,023 5,060 (583 ) 103,500 23 (B) 6.30 % 6.29 % 11 Private Label MBS 30,500 29,395 76 (33 ) 29,438 7 (B) 4.10 % 4.11 % 29 Total/Weighted Average $ 2,042,097 $ 1,808,420 $ 5,606 $ (43,916 ) $ 1,770,110 247 3.98 % 3.82 % 25 (A) See Note 9 regarding the estimation of fair value, which approximates carrying value for all securities.

Collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) issued by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac consist of loss share securities, approximately half of which, by unpaid principal balance (“UPB”), are unrated or rated below investment grade at December 31, 2019 by at least one NRSRO. Private label securities are rated investment grade or better by at least one NRSRO as of December 31, 2019.
