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 “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”) (in such capacity, the “Services Provider”), 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. Effective January 1, 2020, the Operating Partnership contributed substantially all of its assets to the Sub-REIT in exchange for all of the common stock of the Sub-REIT. As a result of this contribution, the Sub-REIT is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership and operations formerly conducted by the Operating Partnership through its subsidiaries are now conducted by the Sub-REIT through those same subsidiaries. The Sub-REIT elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2020. |

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”) for financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-K. 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. The consolidated financial statements reflect all necessary and recurring adjustments for fair presentation of the results for the periods presented herein. 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 the fair value of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs” or “Servicing Related Assets”); residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS” or “securities”) and derivatives; credit losses 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. 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. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to create substantial uncertainty for government policy makers and the Federal Reserve Board with consequent effects of the economy in the United States. While the economy has largely reopened, the increased presence of highly contagious variants of the virus has exacerbated supply chain issues that arose during the shutdown of various economies. Certain forbearance programs and prohibitions on foreclosures have been extended while others have expired adding to the concern of the consequences once all such programs end. As of December 31, 2021, 1.7% of borrowers on loans underlying the MSRs owned by Aurora are reflected as being in an active forbearance program, with 5.0% of those borrowers continuing to make their regular scheduled monthly payment. The Company continues to maintain an elevated level of unrestricted cash due to the continuing uncertainty regarding government policy and the economy. Based on information currently available to the Company, the Company continues to believe that it will be able to satisfy all of its servicing obligations in 2022. 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 years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 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 are reported on the consolidated statements of income (loss). Fluctuations in the fair value of MSRs are recorded within “Unrealized gain (loss) on investments in Servicing Related Assets” on the consolidated statements of income (loss). 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. 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. Revenue Recognition percentage of the outstanding principal balance and are recognized as revenue as the related mortgage payments are collected. Corresponding costs to service are charged to expense as incurred. Servicing fee income received and servicing expenses incurred are reported on the consolidated statements of income (loss). Float income from custodial accounts associated with MSRs of $900,000 and $2.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, is included in “Net interest income” on the consolidated statements of income (loss). Late fees and ancillary income of $1.5 million and $1.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, are included in “Servicing fee income” on the consolidated statements of income (loss). As an owner of MSRs, the Company may be obligated to fund advances of principal and interest payments due to third-party owners of the loans underlying the MSRs, 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. 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. As a result, the Company has determined that no reserves for unrecoverable advances for the related underlying loans are necessary at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. For further discussion on the Company’s receivables and other assets, including the Company’s servicing advances, see Note 13. 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. Derivatives and Hedging Activities Derivative transactions include swaps, swaptions, U.S. treasury futures and “to-be-announced” securities (“TBAs”). A TBA contract is an agreement to purchase or sell, for future delivery, an Agency MBS with a specified issuer, term and coupon. Swaps and swaptions are entered into by the Company solely for interest rate risk management purposes. TBAs and U.S. 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. From time to time, the Company enters into a TBA dollar roll which represents a transaction where TBA contracts with the same terms but different settlement dates are simultaneously bought and sold. The TBA contract settling in the later month typically prices at a discount to the earlier month contract with the difference in price commonly referred to as the “drop”. The drop is a reflection of the expected net interest income from an investment in similar Agency MBS, net of an implied financing cost, that would be foregone as a result of settling the contract in the later month rather than in the earlier month. The drop between the current settlement month price and the forward settlement month price occurs because in the TBA dollar roll market, the party providing the financing is the party that would retain all principal and interest payments accrued during the financing period. Accordingly, drop income on TBA dollar rolls generally represents the economic equivalent of the net interest income earned on the underlying Agency MBS less an implied financing cost. TBA dollar roll transactions are accounted for under GAAP as a series of derivatives transactions. 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 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 $664,000 and $2.0 million at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively) and (ii) as collateral for borrowings under its repurchase agreements (approximately $12.2 million and $44.4 million at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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. 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, 2021 and December 31, 2020, approximately $45.6 million and $48.2 million, respectively, of variation margin was reported as a decrease to the interest rate swap asset, at fair value. Due to Manager The sum under “Due to manager” 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. In 2017, the Internal Revenue Service issued a revenue procedure permitting “publicly offered” REITs to make elective stock dividends (i.e., dividends paid in a mixture of stock and cash), with at least 20% of the total distribution being paid in cash, to satisfy their REIT distribution requirements. In December 2021, the Internal Revenue Service issued a revenue procedure that temporarily reduces the minimum amount of the total distribution that must be paid in cash to 10% for distributions declared on or after November 1, 2021, and on or before June 30, 2022, provided certain other parameters detailed in the Revenue Procedure are satisfied. Pursuant to these revenue procedures, the Company has in the past elected to make distributions of its taxable income in a mixture of stock and cash. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes Realized Gain (Loss) on RMBS The following table presents realized gains and losses on RMBS for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 Realized gain (loss) on RMBS, net Gain on RMBS $ 5,653 $ 34,071 $ 1,285 Loss on RMBS (5,105 ) (38,711 ) (383 ) Net realized gain (loss) on RMBS (A) $ 548 $ (4,640 ) $ 902 (A) Reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings. 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 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 Reference Rate Reform Reference Rate Reform Changes in Presentation During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company changed its presentation of certain line items on the consolidated statements of income (loss), consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) and consolidated statements of cash flows to better reflect changes in the business and how the Company is viewed and managed. Specifically, drop income on TBA dollar rolls and interest rate swap periodic interest income (expense) are presented in “Realized loss on derivatives, net” on the consolidated statements of income (loss). Drop income on TBA dollar rolls and interest rate swap periodic interest income (expense) were historically presented in “Interest income” and “Interest expense”, respectively, on the consolidated statements of income (loss). Prior period amounts and respective notes have been reclassified to be consistent with the current period presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on net income or net comprehensive income. In addition to the above, certain other prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. |

(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. At December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company pledged Agency RMBS with a carrying value of approximately $892.9 million and $1,164.4 million, respectively, as collateral for borrowings under repurchase agreements. At December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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. 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, if not all, of its investments in RMBS are guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or U.S. government sponsored enterprises. Both credit related and non-credit related unrealized losses on securities that the Company (i) intends to sell, or (ii) will more likely than not be required to sell before recovering their cost basis, are recognized in earnings. The Company did not record an allowance for credit losses on the balance sheet at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, or any impairment charges in earnings during the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

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 8.20% 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 8.20% 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. The Company’s 8.250% Series B Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Stock, par value $0.01 per share (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. On April 28, 2020, the Company issued 527,010 shares of Common Stock in partial payment of the previously declared cash dividend of $0.40 per share of Common Stock. Common Stock ATM Program In August 2018, the Company instituted an at-the-market offering program (the “Common Stock ATM Program”) of up to $50.0 million of its co mmon 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, 2021, the Company issued and sold 1,148,398 shares of common stock under the Common Stock ATM Program. The shares were sold at a weighted average price of $8.88 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $10.2 million before fees of approximately $200,000. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company did not issue any shares of common stock under the Common Stock ATM Program . Preferred Stock ATM Program In April 2018, the Company instituted an at-the-market offering program (the “Preferred Series A ATM Program”) of up to $35.0 million 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 years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company did not issue any shares of Series A Preferred Stock under the Preferred Series A ATM Program. Share Repurchase Program In September 2019, the Company instituted a share repurchase program that allows for the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $10.0 million 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. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock pursuant to the share repurchase program Equity Incentive Plan During 2013, the board of directors approved and the Company adopted the Cherry Hill Mortgage Investment Corporation 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”). 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 as well as LTIP-OP Units 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 Company recognized approximately $1.1 million and $1.0 million in share-based compensation expense in the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. There was approximately of total unrecognized share-based compensation expense as of December 31, 2021, which was related to unvested LTIP-OP Units and directors compensation paid in stock subject to forfeiture. This unrecognized share-based compensation expense is expected to be recognized ratably over the remaining vesting period of up to 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, 2021, the non-controlling interest holders in the Operating Partnership owned 341,287 LTIP-OP Units, or approximately 1.97% 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.

Transactions with Related Parties | Note 7 — Transactions with Related Parties 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 expires on October 22, 2022 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 the Company or the 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. No such written notice of non-renewal was provided in 2021. In the event the Company elects not to renew the term, the Company will be required to pay the 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. The Company may terminate the Management Agreement at any time for cause effective upon days prior written notice of termination from the Company to the Manager, in which case no termination fee would be due. The Company’s board of directors will review the Manager’s performance prior to the automatic renewal of the Management Agreement and, as a result of such review, upon the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the members of the Company’s board of directors or of the holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding common stock, the Company may terminate the Management Agreement based upon unsatisfactory performance by the Manager that is materially detrimental to the Company or a determination by the Company’s independent directors that the management fees payable to the Manager are not fair, subject to the right of the Manager to prevent such a termination by agreeing to a reduction of the management fees payable to the Manager. Upon any termination of the Management Agreement based on unsatisfactory performance or unfair management fees, the Company would be required to pay the Manager the termination fee described above. The Manager may terminate the Management Agreement in the event that 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. The Manager may also terminate the Management Agreement upon written notice if the Company defaults in the performance of any material term of the Management Agreement and the default continues for a period of after written notice to the Company, whereupon the Company would be required to pay the Manager the termination fee described above The Manager is a party to a services agreement (the “Services Agreement”) with Freedom Mortgage (in such capacity, the “Services Provider”), pursuant to which the Services Provider provides to the Manager personnel and payroll and benefits administration services as 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 the Services Provider 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 the Services Provider of its obligations under the Services Agreement. The Services Agreement will terminate upon the termination of the Management Agreement. 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 the Services Provider were controlled by Mr. Stanley Middleman. 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) an agreed upon portion of the compensation paid to specified officers of the Company. The amounts under “Due to Manager” on the consolidated balance sheets consisted of the following for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands): Management Fees and Compensation Reimbursement to Manager Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 Management fees $ 6,844 $ 6,794 $ 6,832 Compensation reimbursement 1,000 976 952 Total $ 7,844 $ 7,770 $ 7,784 Subservicing Agreement Following the sale of the Ginnie Mae MSRs to Freedom Mortgage in June 2020 as described below, Freedom Mortgage continued to subservice certain loans that had been purchased from Ginnie Mae pools due to delinquency or default. These loans were subserviced by Freedom Mortgage pursuant to a subservicing agreement entered into on June 10, 2015. Freedom Mortgage ceased subservicing these loans during 2021 because these loans and any related advance claims had been rehabilitated or liquidated. In August 2020, Freedom Mortgage acquired RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing Corporation (“RoundPoint”), one of Aurora’s subservicers and a seller of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac MSRs pursuant to a flow purchase agreement with Aurora. The subservicing agreement with RoundPoint had an initial term and is subject to automatic renewal for additional terms equal to the initial term unless either party chooses not to renew. The subservicing agreement may be terminated without cause by either party by giving notice as specified in the agreement. If the agreement is not renewed by Aurora or terminated by Aurora without cause, de-boarding fees will be due to the subservicer. Under the subservicing agreement, the sub-servicer agrees to service the applicable mortgage loans in accordance with applicable law. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, Aurora paid RoundPoint $7.2 million and $11.4 million, respectively, in servicing costs. Aurora had servicing receivables of $493,000 and $227,000 from RoundPoint as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The flow purchase agreement provides that RoundPoint may offer, and Aurora may purchase mortgage servicing rights from time to time on loans originated through RoundPoint’s network of loan sellers. RoundPoint’s sellers sell the loans to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and sell the mortgage servicing rights to RoundPoint which sells the MSR to Aurora. RoundPoint then subservices the loans for Aurora pursuant to the subservicing agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2021, Aurora purchased MSRs with an aggregate UPB of approximately $2.6 billion from RoundPoint pursuant to the flow agreement for a purchase price of $21.4 Joint Marketing Recapture Agreement In May 2018, Aurora entered into a recapture purchase and sale agreement with RoundPoint, one of Aurora’s subservicers and since August 2020, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Freedom Mortgage. Pursuant to this agreement, RoundPoint attempts to refinance certain mortgage loans underlying Aurora’s MSR portfolio subserviced by RoundPoint as directed by Aurora. If a loan is refinanced, Freedom Mortgage will sell the loan to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, as applicable, retain the sale proceeds and transfer the related MSR to Aurora. The agreement continues in effect while the subservicing agreement remains in effect. Other Transactions with Related Persons Aurora leases three employees from Freedom Mortgage and reimburses Freedom Mortgage on a monthly basis. On June 30, 2020, Aurora sold its portfolio of Ginnie Mae MSRs with a carrying value of approximately $15.7 million to Freedom Mortgage pursuant to a Loan Servicing Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of that date, between Freedom Mortgage as buyer and Aurora as seller for proceeds of approximately $15.8 million. The Company recorded a realized loss of $11.3 million on the sale which includes $11.5 million of previously incurred unrealized losses in market value through the six-month period ended June 30, 2020. The sale is part of the Company’s servicing related assets segment. The sale was approved by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Company’s board of directors which consists solely of independent directors. The proceeds were used in part to pay off in full a $11.2 million term loan facility financing the Ginnie Mae MSRs and a related advancing facility, with the balance of the proceeds available for general corporate purposes. The Ginnie Mae MSRs were originally acquired from Freedom Mortgage pursuant to the loan servicing purchase and sale agreement with Freedom Mortgage, dated as of December 15, 2016. As a result of the sale of these MSRs back to Freedom Mortgage the remaining holdback payable under the original purchase agreement of approximately $757,000 was applied to reduce the original cost of acquisition and included within “Realized loss on investments in MSRs, net” on the consolidated statements of income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2020 |

Derivative Instruments [Abstract] | |
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 U.S. treasury futures and forward-settling purchases and sales of RMBS where the underlying pools of mortgage loans are TBAs.

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 U.S. treasury futures assets and liabilities on a gross basis in its consolidated balance sheets, but in the case of interest rate swaps, 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, 2021 and December 31, 2020. 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, 2021 and December 31, 2020. 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 U.S. treasury futures. The Company utilizes third-party pricing providers to value its derivative instruments. The third-party pricing providers use their own pricing models that incorporate a multitude of factors such as the absolute levels of interest rates, shape of the yield curve, forward market expectations of the curve, internal economist projections, OIS and Libor, FOMC policy, coupon, strike, the rate reset period and the expected life of the security. 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 U.S. treasury futures 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). Recurring Fair Value Measurements As of December 31, 2021 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Carrying Value Assets RMBS Fannie Mae $ - $ 559,777 $ - $ 559,777 Freddie Mac - 393,719 - 393,719 RMBS total - 953,496 - 953,496 Derivative assets Interest rate swaps - 10,101 - 10,101 Interest rate swaptions - 183 - 183 U.S. treasury futures options - 234 - 234 Derivative assets total - 10,518 - 10,518 Servicing related assets - - 218,727 218,727 Total Assets $ - $ 964,014 $ 218,727 $ 1,182,741 Liabilities Derivative liabilities Interest rate swaps - 218 - 218 TBAs, net - 1,007 - 1,007 U.S. treasury futures - 53 - 53 Derivative liabilities total - 1,278 - 1,278 Total Liabilities $ - $ 1,278 $ - $ 1,278 As of December 31, 2020 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Carrying Value Assets RMBS Fannie Mae $ - $ 715,156 $ - $ 715,156 Freddie Mac - 506,954 - 506,954 Private Label MBS - 6,141 - 6,141 RMBS total - 1,228,251 - 1,228,251 Derivative assets Interest rate swaps - 10,791 - 10,791 Interest rate swaptions - 798 - 798 TBAs, net - 4,129 - 4,129 U.S. treasury futures - 252 - 252 Derivative assets total - 15,970 - 15,970 Servicing related assets - - 174,414 174,414 Total Assets $ - $ 1,244,221 $ 174,414 $ 1,418,635 Liabilities Derivative liabilities Interest rate swaps - 5,878 - 5,878 Derivative liabilities total - 5,878 - 5,878 Total Liabilities $ - $ 5,878 $ - $ 5,878 The Company may be required to measure certain assets or liabilities at fair value from time to time. 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, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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, 2021 and December 31, 2020 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, 2021 Level 3 MSRs Balance at December 31, 2020 $ 174,414 Purchases and sales: Purchases 56,638 Other changes (A) (1,263 ) Purchases, sales and principal paydowns: $ 55,375 Changes in Fair Value due to: Changes in valuation inputs or assumptions used in valuation model 61,881 Other changes in fair value (B) (72,943 ) Unrealized gain (loss) included in Net Income $ (11,062 ) Balance at December 31, 2021 $ 218,727 As of December 31, 2020 Level 3 MSRs Balance at December 31, 2019 $ 291,111 Purchases and sales: Purchases 54,439 Sales (27,754 ) Other changes (A) (1,482 ) Purchases and sales: $ 25,203 Changes in Fair Value due to: Changes in valuation inputs or assumptions used in valuation model (8,318 ) Other changes in fair value (B) (133,582 ) Unrealized gain (loss) included in Net Income $ (141,900 ) Balance at December 31, 2020 $ 174,414 (A) Represents purchase price adjustments, principally contractual prepayment protection, and changes due to the Company’s repurchase of the underlying collateral.

The tables below present information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s Servicing Related Assets classified as Level 3 fair value assets as of the dates indicated (dollars in thousands): Fair Value Measurements As of December 31, 2021 Fair Value Valuation Technique Unobservable Input (A) Range Weighted Average (B) MSRs $ 218,727 Discounted cash flow Constant prepayment speed 5.0% - 19.1 % 11.5 % Uncollected payments 0.4% - 2.5 % 0.6 % Discount rate 7.2 % Annual cost to service, per loan $ 76 TOTAL $ 218,727 As of December 31, 2020 Fair Value Valuation Technique Unobservable Input (A) Range Weighted Average (B) MSRs $ 174,414 Discounted cash flow Constant prepayment speed 5.0% - 38.0 % 15.4 % Uncollected payments 0.3% - 2.6 % 0.6 % Discount rate 6.1 % Annual cost to service, per loan $ 76 TOTAL $ 174,414 (A) Significant increases (decreases) in any of the inputs in isolation may result in significantly lower (higher) fair value measurements. 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. (B) Weighted averages for unobservable inputs are calculated based on the unpaid principal balance of the portfolios. 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 servicing receivables, 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 year consists solely of financing secured by Aurora’s Servicing Related Assets. All of the Company’s debt is revolving and bears interest at adjustable rates. The Company considers that the amount of the corporate debt generally approximates fair value. The fixed rate portion of the financing for all of the Company’s Servicing Related Assets was paid in full on June . |

Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Note 10 — Commitments and Contingencies The commitments and contingencies of the Company as of December and December 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 Freedom Mortgage to provide the Manager with the necessary resources and personnel 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. The Company has established immaterial reserves for these possible matters. 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. Commitments to Purchase/Sell RMBS As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company was not obligated to purchase or sell any RMBS securities. Acknowledgment Agreements In connection with the Fannie Mae MSR Financing Facility (as defined below in Note 12), 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 Freddie Mac MSR Revolver (as defined below in Note 12), 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 Freddie Mac 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 Freddie Mac MSR Revolver. |

Notes Payable [Abstract] | |
Notes Payable | Note 12 — Notes Payable As of December 31, 2021, the Company had two separate MSR financing facilities: (i) the Freddie Mac MSR Revolver, which is revolving credit facility for up to $100.0 million that is secured by all Freddie Mac MSRs owned by Aurora; and (ii) the Fannie Mae MSR Revolving Facility, which is a revolving credit facility for up to $150.0 million, that is secured by all Fannie Mae MSRs owned by Aurora. Both financing facilities are available for MSRs as well as certain servicing related advances associated with MSRs. Freddie Mac MSR Revolver Fannie Mae MSR Revolving Facility As noted above, the Fannie Mae MSR Revolving Facility replaced the Prior Fannie Mae MSR Financing Facility. In September 2019, Aurora and QRS III entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Prior Fannie Mae MSR Financing Facility”). Under the Prior 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 was $200 million, of which $100 million was committed. Borrowings bore interest at a rate equal to a spread over one-month LIBOR subject to a floor. This facility was terminated and replaced in October 2021 with the Fannie Mae MSR Revolving Facility (as defined and discussed above). As a result, there was no outstanding balance under the Prior Fannie Mae MSR Financing Facility at December 31, 2021. Approximately $64.0 million was outstanding under the Prior Fannie Mae MSR Financing Facility at December 31, 2020. 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, 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 Total Freddie Mac MSR Revolver Borrowings under Freddie Mac MSR Revolver $ 63,000 $ - $ - $ - $ - $ 63,000 Fannie Mae MSR Revolving Facility Borrowings under Fannie Mae MSR Revolving Facility - 571 6,994 7,261 68,174 83,000 Total $ 63,000 $ 571 $ 6,994 $ 7,261 $ 68,174 $ 146,000 As of December 31, 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 Total Freddie Mac MSR Revolver Borrowings under Freddie Mac MSR Revolver $ 47,500 $ - $ - $ - $ - $ 47,500 Fannie Mae MSR Financing Facility Borrowings under Fannie Mae MSR Financing Facility 64,000 - - - - 64,000 Total $ 111,500 $ - $ - $ - $ - $ 111,500 |

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 Sub-REIT, 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, 2021 2020 2019 Current federal income tax benefit $ (127 ) $ - $ - Deferred federal income tax expense (benefit) 1,180 (16,783 ) (8,403 ) Deferred state income tax expense (benefit) (272 ) (1,981 ) (1,522 ) Provision for (benefit from) Corporate Business Taxes $ 781 $ (18,764 ) $ (9,925 ) 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, 2021 2020 2019 Computed income tax expense (benefit) at federal rate $ 2,795 21.0 % $ (15,116 ) 21.0 % $ (12,724 ) 21.0 % State tax expense (benefit), net of federal tax, if applicable 120 0.9 % (1,893 ) 2.6 % (664 ) 1.1 % Tax provision due to state tax rate change (413 ) (3.1 )% (87 ) 0.1 % (858 ) 1.4 % Permanent differences in taxable income from GAAP pre-tax income 185 1.4 % - - % - - % Provision to return adjustment (6 ) - % (15 ) - % 5 (0.0 )% REIT income not subject to tax (benefit) (1,900 ) (14.3 )% (1,653 ) 2.4 % 4,316 (7.1 )% Provision for (benefit from) Corporate Business Taxes/Effective Tax Rate (A) $ 781 5.9 % $ (18,764 ) 26.1 % $ (9,925 ) 16.4 % (A) The provision for income taxes is recorded at the TRS level. The Company’s consolidated balance sheets contain the following income taxes recoverable and deferred tax assets, which are recorded at the TRS level (dollars in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 Income taxes recoverable Federal income taxes recoverable $ (128 ) $ - $ - Income taxes recoverable $ (128 ) $ - $ - Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 Deferred tax assets Deferred tax - mortgage servicing rights $ (10,539 ) $ (15,176 ) $ (995 ) Deferred tax - net operating loss (10,075 ) (6,347 ) (1,763 ) Total net deferred tax assets $ (20,614 ) $ (21,523 ) $ (2,758 ) In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences become deductible. The Company’s net operating losses (“NOLs”) were created subsequent to 2017 and can be carried forward indefinitely pursuant to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passed on December 22, 2017 (“2017 Tax Act”). As of December 31, 2021, the Company believes it is more likely than not that it will fully realize its deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets are included in “Receivables and other assets” in the consolidated balance sheets. Based on the Company’s evaluation, the Company has concluded that there are no significant liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits required to be reported 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 2020, 2019 and 2018 federal, state and local income tax returns remain open for examination by the relevant authorities. Distributions to stockholders generally will be primarily taxable as ordinary income, although a portion of such distributions may be designated as qualified dividend income or may constitute a return of capital. The Company furnishes annually to each stockholder a statement setting forth distributions paid during the preceding year and their U.S. federal income tax treatment. Common Stock distributions were taxable as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 Dividends per share $ 1.08 (A) $ 1.34 (B) $ 1.93 (C) Ordinary income - % 20 % 85 % Long-term capital gain - % - % - % Return of capital 100 % 80 % 15 % (A) The entire $0.27 per share dividend declared in December 2021 January 2022 (B) The entire $0.27 per share dividend declared in December 2020 January 2021 (C) The entire $0.40 per share dividend declared in December 2019 January 2020 Series A Preferred Stock distributions were as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 Dividends per share $ 2.05 (A) $ 2.05 (B) $ 1.54 (C) Ordinary income 10 % 100 % 100 % Long-term capital gain - % - % - % Return of capital 90 % - % - % (A) The entire $0.51 per share dividend declared in December 2021 January 2022 (B) The entire $0.51 per share dividend declared in December 2020 January 2021 (C) The entire $0.51 per share dividend declared in December 2019 January 2020 Series B Preferred Stock distributions were as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 Dividends per share $ 2.06 (A) 2.06 (B) 1.40 (C) Ordinary income 10 % 100 % 100 % Long-term capital gain - % - % - % Return of capital 90 % - % - % (A) The entire $0.52 per share dividend declared in December 2021 January 2022 (B) The entire $0.52 per share dividend declared in December 2020 January 2021 (C) The entire $0.52 per share dividend declared in December 2019 January 2020 |

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”) for financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-K. 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. The consolidated financial statements reflect all necessary and recurring adjustments for fair presentation of the results for the periods presented herein. |
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 the fair value of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs” or “Servicing Related Assets”); residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS” or “securities”) and derivatives; credit losses 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. 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. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to create substantial uncertainty for government policy makers and the Federal Reserve Board with consequent effects of the economy in the United States. While the economy has largely reopened, the increased presence of highly contagious variants of the virus has exacerbated supply chain issues that arose during the shutdown of various economies. Certain forbearance programs and prohibitions on foreclosures have been extended while others have expired adding to the concern of the consequences once all such programs end. As of December 31, 2021, 1.7% of borrowers on loans underlying the MSRs owned by Aurora are reflected as being in an active forbearance program, with 5.0% of those borrowers continuing to make their regular scheduled monthly payment. The Company continues to maintain an elevated level of unrestricted cash due to the continuing uncertainty regarding government policy and the economy. Based on information currently available to the Company, the Company continues to believe that it will be able to satisfy all of its servicing obligations in 2022. |
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 years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 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 are reported on the consolidated statements of income (loss). Fluctuations in the fair value of MSRs are recorded within “Unrealized gain (loss) on investments in Servicing Related Assets” on the consolidated statements of income (loss). 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. 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. Revenue Recognition percentage of the outstanding principal balance and are recognized as revenue as the related mortgage payments are collected. Corresponding costs to service are charged to expense as incurred. Servicing fee income received and servicing expenses incurred are reported on the consolidated statements of income (loss). Float income from custodial accounts associated with MSRs of $900,000 and $2.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, is included in “Net interest income” on the consolidated statements of income (loss). Late fees and ancillary income of $1.5 million and $1.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, are included in “Servicing fee income” on the consolidated statements of income (loss). As an owner of MSRs, the Company may be obligated to fund advances of principal and interest payments due to third-party owners of the loans underlying the MSRs, 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. 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. As a result, the Company has determined that no reserves for unrecoverable advances for the related underlying loans are necessary at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. For further discussion on the Company’s receivables and other assets, including the Company’s servicing advances, see Note 13. 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. |
Derivatives and Hedging Activities | Derivatives and Hedging Activities Derivative transactions include swaps, swaptions, U.S. treasury futures and “to-be-announced” securities (“TBAs”). A TBA contract is an agreement to purchase or sell, for future delivery, an Agency MBS with a specified issuer, term and coupon. Swaps and swaptions are entered into by the Company solely for interest rate risk management purposes. TBAs and U.S. 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. From time to time, the Company enters into a TBA dollar roll which represents a transaction where TBA contracts with the same terms but different settlement dates are simultaneously bought and sold. The TBA contract settling in the later month typically prices at a discount to the earlier month contract with the difference in price commonly referred to as the “drop”. The drop is a reflection of the expected net interest income from an investment in similar Agency MBS, net of an implied financing cost, that would be foregone as a result of settling the contract in the later month rather than in the earlier month. The drop between the current settlement month price and the forward settlement month price occurs because in the TBA dollar roll market, the party providing the financing is the party that would retain all principal and interest payments accrued during the financing period. Accordingly, drop income on TBA dollar rolls generally represents the economic equivalent of the net interest income earned on the underlying Agency MBS less an implied financing cost. TBA dollar roll transactions are accounted for under GAAP as a series of derivatives transactions. 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 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 $664,000 and $2.0 million at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively) and (ii) as collateral for borrowings under its repurchase agreements (approximately $12.2 million and $44.4 million at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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. 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, 2021 and December 31, 2020, approximately $45.6 million and $48.2 million, respectively, of variation margin was reported as a decrease to the interest rate swap asset, at fair value. |
Due to Manager | Due to Manager The sum under “Due to manager” 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. In 2017, the Internal Revenue Service issued a revenue procedure permitting “publicly offered” REITs to make elective stock dividends (i.e., dividends paid in a mixture of stock and cash), with at least 20% of the total distribution being paid in cash, to satisfy their REIT distribution requirements. In December 2021, the Internal Revenue Service issued a revenue procedure that temporarily reduces the minimum amount of the total distribution that must be paid in cash to 10% for distributions declared on or after November 1, 2021, and on or before June 30, 2022, provided certain other parameters detailed in the Revenue Procedure are satisfied. Pursuant to these revenue procedures, the Company has in the past elected to make distributions of its taxable income in a mixture of stock and cash. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes |
Realized Gain (Loss) on RMBS | Realized Gain (Loss) on RMBS The following table presents realized gains and losses on RMBS for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 Realized gain (loss) on RMBS, net Gain on RMBS $ 5,653 $ 34,071 $ 1,285 Loss on RMBS (5,105 ) (38,711 ) (383 ) Net realized gain (loss) on RMBS (A) $ 548 $ (4,640 ) $ 902 (A) Reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings. |
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 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. |

Changes in Presentation | Changes in Presentation During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company changed its presentation of certain line items on the consolidated statements of income (loss), consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) and consolidated statements of cash flows to better reflect changes in the business and how the Company is viewed and managed. Specifically, drop income on TBA dollar rolls and interest rate swap periodic interest income (expense) are presented in “Realized loss on derivatives, net” on the consolidated statements of income (loss). Drop income on TBA dollar rolls and interest rate swap periodic interest income (expense) were historically presented in “Interest income” and “Interest expense”, respectively, on the consolidated statements of income (loss). Prior period amounts and respective notes have been reclassified to be consistent with the current period presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on net income or net comprehensive income. In addition to the above, certain other prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. |
