Organization and Operations [Abstract] | |
Organization and Operations | Note 1 — Organization and Operations Cherry Hill Mortgage Investment Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”) was organized in the state of Maryland on October 31, 2012 to invest in residential mortgage assets in the United States. Under the Company’s charter, as of December 31, 2012, the Company was authorized to issue 1,000 shares of common stock. On June 6, 2013, the Company amended and restated its charter and increased its authorized capitalization. Accordingly, at December 31, 2013, the Company was 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, Cherry Hill QRS I, LLC, Cherry Hill QRS II, Cherry Hill QRS III, LLC, CHMI Insurance Company, LLC (“CHMI Insurance”), CHMI Solutions, Inc. (“CHMI Solutions”) (formerly CHMI Solutions, LLC) and Aurora Financial Group, Inc. (“Aurora”). See “Note 18 – CHMI Insurance Company” for information regarding the dissolution of CHMI Insurance. On October 9, 2013, the Company completed an initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 6,500,000 shares of common stock and a concurrent private placement of 1,000,000 shares of common stock. The IPO and concurrent private placement resulted in the sale of 7,500,000 shares of common stock, at a price per share of $20.00. The net proceeds to the Company from the IPO and the concurrent private placement were approximately $148.1 million, after deducting offering-related expenses payable by the Company. The Company did not conduct any activity prior to the IPO and the concurrent private placement. Substantially all of the net proceeds from the IPO and the concurrent private placement were used to invest in excess mortgage servicing rights on residential mortgage loans (“Excess MSRs”) and residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS” or “securities”), the payment of principal and interest on which is guaranteed by a U.S. government agency or a U.S. government sponsored enterprise (“Agency RMBS”). The Company is party to a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Cherry Hill Mortgage Management, LLC (the “Manager”), a Delaware limited liability company established by Mr. Stanley Middleman. The Manager is a party to a Services Agreement with Freedom Mortgage Corporation (“Freedom Mortgage”) which is owned and controlled by Mr. Middleman. The Manager is owned by a “blind trust” for the benefit of Mr. Middleman. For a further discussion of the Management Agreement, see Note 7. The Company 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 the short taxable year ended December 31, 2013. As long as the Company continues to comply with a number of requirements under U.S. federal tax law and maintains its qualification as a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes to the extent that the Company distributes its taxable income to its stockholders on an annual basis and does not engage in prohibited transactions. However, certain activities that the Company may perform may cause it to earn income that will not be qualifying income for REIT purposes. |

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2 — Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Accounting The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The Company consolidates those entities in which it has an investment of 50% or more and has control over significant operating, financial and investing decisions of the entity. Emerging Growth Company Status On April 5, 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”) was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. Because the Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company,” it may, under Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, delay adoption of new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies until such standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company has elected to take advantage of this extended transition period until the first to occur of the date that it (i) is no longer an “emerging growth company” or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of this extended transition period. As a result, the consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to those of other public companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards. Until the date that the Company is no longer an “emerging growth company” or affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period, upon issuance of a new or revised accounting standard that applies to the consolidated financial statements and that has a different effective date for public and private companies, the Company will disclose the date on which adoption is required for non-emerging growth companies and the date on which it will adopt the recently issued accounting standard. 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 fair value of Excess MSRs and MSRs (collectively, “Servicing Related Assets”), RMBS, derivatives and credit losses including the period of time during which the Company anticipates an increase in the fair values of securities sufficient to recover unrealized losses on those securities, and other estimates that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. It is likely that changes in these estimates (e.g., valuation changes due to supply and demand, credit performance, prepayments, interest rates, or other reasons) will occur in the near term. The Company’s estimates are inherently subjective in nature. Actual results could differ from the Company’s estimates and 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 significant tax risks. 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 (including any applicable alternative minimum tax), which could be material. Unless entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions, the Company would also be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost. Investments in RMBS Classification Fair value is determined under the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Investment securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. At disposition, the net realized gain or loss is determined on the basis of the cost of the specific investment and is included in earnings. All RMBS sold in the year ended December 31, 2016 were settled prior to period end. Revenue Recognition Impairment Investments in Excess MSRs Classification Revenue Recognition Investments in MSRs Classification Revenue Recognition Servicing fee income received and servicing expenses incurred are reported on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The difference between the fair value of MSRs and their amortized cost basis is recorded on the consolidated statements of income as “Unrealized gain (loss) on investments in MSRs.” Fair value is generally determined by discounting the expected future cash flows using discount rates that incorporate the market risks and liquidity premium specific to the MSRs and, therefore, may differ from their effective yields. As a result of the Company’s investments in MSRs, it is obligated from time to time to repurchase an underlying loan from the GSE for which it is being serviced due to an alleged breach of a representation or warranty. Loans acquired in this manner are recorded at the purchase price less any principal recoveries and are then offered for sale in the scratch and dent market. In the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company purchased five loans, with an aggregate UPB of approximately $1.64 million at the time of purchase, as required by the applicable agency. None of those loans have been sold. Derivatives and Hedging Activities Derivative transactions include swaps, swaptions, Treasury futures and “to-be-announced” securities (“TBAs”). Swaps and swaptions are entered into by the Company solely for interest rate risk management purposes. TBAs and treasury futures are used for duration risk and basis risk management purposes. The decision of 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 management, including restrictions imposed by the Code on REITs. In determining whether to economically hedge a risk, the Company may consider whether other assets, liabilities, firm commitments and anticipated transactions already offset or reduce the risk. All transactions undertaken as economic hedges are entered into with a view towards minimizing the potential for economic losses that could be incurred by the Company. Generally, derivatives entered into are not intended to qualify as hedges under GAAP, unless specifically stated otherwise. The Company’s derivative financial instruments contain credit risk to the extent that its bank counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreements. The Company reduces such risk by limiting its counterparties to major financial institutions. In addition, the potential risk of loss with any one party resulting from this type of credit risk is monitored. Finally, the Company’s interest rate swaps are required to be cleared on an exchange, which further mitigates, but does not eliminate, credit risk. Management does not expect any material losses as a result of default by other parties. 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 as collateral against the Company’s derivatives in each case as of December 31, 2016 (approximately $1.1 million), borrowings under its repurchase agreements (approximately $20.4 million) as well as cash held that relates to the $8.9 million of borrowings on a term loan (“Term Loan”) (approximately $1.1 million). As of December 31, 2015, cash held by counterparties as collateral against the Company’s derivatives (approximately $4.6 million), borrowings under its repurchase agreements (approximately $4.2 million) as well as cash held that relates to the $24.3 million of borrowings on the Term Loan (approximately $1.1 million). For further information on the restricted cash as it relates to the Term Loan, see Note 13. Due to Affiliate This 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 the Code commencing with its short taxable year ended December 31, 2013. The Company expects to continue to qualify to be treated as a REIT. As long as the Company qualifies as a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes on its taxable income to the extent it annually distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to stockholders and does not engage in prohibited transactions. The Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”), CHMI Solutions and Aurora, are subject to U.S. federal income taxes on their taxable income. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes Realized Gain (Loss) on Investments , Net The following table presents gains and losses on sales of the specified categories of investments for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Realized gain (loss) on RMBS, net Gain on RMBS $ 1,572 $ 1,398 $ 303 Loss on RMBS (173 ) (544 ) (363 ) Net realized gain (loss) on RMBS 1,399 854 (60 ) Realized gain (loss) on derivatives, net (7,963 ) (3,913 ) (2,643 ) Unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives, net 12,080 (59 ) (6,564 ) Realized gain (loss) on Excess MSRs, net 1,520 — — Unrealized gain (loss) on Excess MSRs, net 249 (19 ) (5,100 ) Unrealized gain (loss) on MSRs, net (3,285 ) (1,123 ) — Realized gain (loss) on acquired assets, net — 449 — Total $ 4,000 $ (3,811 ) $ (14,367 ) The gain and loss on the specified categories of investments presented above represent the amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in earnings. Repurchase Agreements and Interest Expense The Company finances its investments in RMBS with short-term borrowings under master repurchase agreements. The repurchase agreements are generally short-term debt, which expire within one year. Borrowings under repurchase agreements generally bear interest rates of a specified margin over one-month LIBOR and are generally uncommitted. The repurchase 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. Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis Advances Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (“FHLBI”) at December 31, 2015 were secured by the pledge of Agency RMBS, had bullet maturities and bore interest at rates based on specified margins over LIBOR. Advances were treated as collateralized financing transactions and were carried at their contractual amounts. Interest was recorded at the contractual amount on an accrual basis. See Note 12 for information regarding the regulatory change leading to the withdrawal of our captive insurance subsidiary from membership in the FHLBI. 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 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, as presented in the consolidated statements of income, adjusted for unrealized gains or losses on RMBS, which are designated as available for sale.

Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. (D) The weighted average stated maturity. At December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company pledged Agency RMBS investments with a carrying value of approximately $608.6 million and $399.8 million respectively, as collateral for repurchase agreements. At December 31, 2016, the Company had no pledged Agency RMBS investments as collateral for FHLBI advances. At December 31, 2015, the Company pledged Agency RMBS investments with a carrying value of approximately $83.2 million, as collateral for FHLBI advances. At December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, 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 Unrealized losses that are considered other-than-temporary are recognized currently in earnings. Based on management’s analysis of these 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 period. Such market factors include changes in market interest rates and credit spreads, or certain macroeconomic events, which did not 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. In connection with the above, the Company weighs the fact that all of its investments in Agency RMBS are guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or U.S. government sponsored entities. These factors include underlying loan default expectations and loss severities, which are analyzed in connection with a particular security’s credit support, as well as prepayment rates. The result of this evaluation is considered when determining management’s estimate of cash flows and in relation to the amount of the unrealized loss and the period elapsed since it was incurred. Significant judgment is required in this analysis. During the years ended December 31, 2016, the Company recorded approximately $173,000 charges for OTTI. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company did not record any OTTI charges. The following tables summarize the Company’s securities in an unrealized loss position as of the dates indicated (dollars in thousands): RMBS Unrealized Loss Positions As of December 31, 2016 Weighted Average Duration in Loss Position Original Face Value Book Value Gross Unrealized Losses Carrying Value (A) Number of Securites Rating Coupon Yield (C) Maturity (Years) (D) Less than Twelve Months $ 494,847 $ 476,129 $ (9,362 ) $ 466,767 68 (B) 3.65 % 3.40 % 25 Twelve or More Months — — — — — (B) — % — % — Total/Weighted Average $ 494,847 $ 476,129 $ (9,362 ) $ 466,767 68 3.65 % 3.40 % 25 As of December 31, 2015 Weighted Average Duration in Loss Position Original Face Value Book Value Gross Unrealized Losses Carrying Value (A) Number of Securites Rating Coupon Yield (C) Maturity (Years) (D) Less than Twelve Months $ 271,585 $ 274,996 $ (2,749 ) $ 272,247 39 (B ) 3.65 % 3.48 % 24 Twelve or More Months 11,146 940 (218 ) 722 1 (B ) 3.00 % 25.37 % 17 Total/Weighted Average $ 282,731 $ 275,936 $ (2,967 ) $ 272,969 40 3.65 % 3.55 % 24 (A) See Note 9 regarding the estimation of fair value, which is equal to carrying value for all securities.

Investments in Servicing Related Assets [Abstract] | |
Investments in Servicing Related Assets | Note 5 — Investments in Servicing Related Assets Excess MSRs In October 2013, the Company entered into an agreement (“Excess MSR Agreement 1”) with Freedom Mortgage Corporation (“Freedom Mortgage”) to invest in Excess MSRs with Freedom Mortgage. Freedom Mortgage originated the mortgage servicing rights on the related pool of residential fixed rate Ginnie Mae-eligible FHA and VA mortgage loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) of approximately $10.0 billion (“Excess MSR Pool 1”). Freedom Mortgage was entitled to receive an initial weighted average total mortgage servicing amount of approximately 28 basis points (“bps”) on the performing UPB, as well as any ancillary income from Excess MSR Pool 1. Pursuant to Excess MSR Agreement 1, Freedom Mortgage performed all servicing functions and advancing functions related to Excess MSR Pool 1 for a basic fee (the amount representing reasonable compensation for performing the servicing duties) of 8 bps. The remainder, or “excess mortgage servicing amount,” was initially equal to a weighted average of 20 bps. Pursuant to Excess MSR Agreement 1, the Company acquired the right to receive 85% of the excess mortgage servicing amount on Excess MSR Pool 1 and, subject to certain limitations and pursuant to a recapture agreement (the “Excess MSR Pool 1—Recapture Agreement”), 85% of the Excess MSRs on future mortgage loans originated by Freedom Mortgage that represented refinancings of loans in Excess MSR Pool l (which loans then become part of Excess MSR Pool 1) for approximately $60.6 million. Freedom Mortgage co-invested, pari passu with the Company, in 15% of the Excess MSRs. Freedom Mortgage, as servicer, also retained the ancillary income and the servicing obligations and liabilities. On November 15, 2016, the Company sold all of the Excess MSRs relating to Excess MSR Pool 1 to Freedom Mortgage, and Excess MSR Agreement 1 was terminated. See Note 7. In October 2013, the Company entered into an agreement (“Excess MSR Agreement 2”) with Freedom Mortgage to invest with Freedom Mortgage in another pool of Excess MSRs. Freedom Mortgage acquired the mortgage servicing rights from a third-party seller on a pool of residential Ginnie Mae-eligible VA hybrid adjustable rate mortgage loans with an outstanding aggregate principal balance of approximately $10.7 billion (“Excess MSR Pool 2”). Freedom Mortgage is entitled to receive an initial weighted average total mortgage servicing amount of 44 bps on the performing UPB, as well as any ancillary income from Excess MSR Pool 2. Pursuant to Excess MSR Agreement 2, Freedom Mortgage performs all servicing functions and advancing functions related to Excess MSR Pool 2 for a basic fee (the amount representing reasonable compensation for performing the servicing duties) of 10 bps. Therefore, the remainder, or “excess mortgage servicing amount” is initially equal to a weighted average of 34 bps. Pursuant to Excess MSR Agreement 2, The Company acquired the right to receive 50% of the excess mortgage servicing amount on Excess MSR Pool 2 and, subject to certain limitations and pursuant to a recapture agreement (the “Excess MSR Pool 2—Recapture Agreement”), 50% of the Excess MSRs on future mortgage loans originated by Freedom Mortgage that represent refinancings of loans in Excess MSR Pool 2 (which loans then become part of Excess MSR Pool 2) for approximately $38.4 million. Freedom Mortgage has co-invested, pari passu with the Company, in 50% of the Excess MSRs. Freedom Mortgage, as servicer, also retains the ancillary income and the servicing obligations and liabilities. If Freedom Mortgage is terminated as the servicer, the Company’s right to receive its portion of the excess mortgage servicing amount is also terminated. To the extent that Freedom Mortgage is terminated as the servicer and receives a termination payment, the Company is entitled to a pro rata share, or 50%, of such termination payment. On February 1, 2017, the Company sold all of the Excess MSRs relating to Excess MSR Pool 2 to Freedom Mortgage and Excess MSR Agreement 2 was terminated. See Notes 7 and 17. In October 2013, the Company also entered into a flow and bulk Excess MSR purchase agreement related to future purchases of Excess MSRs from Freedom Mortgage (the “Flow and Bulk Excess MSR Purchase Agreement”). Freedom Mortgage was entitled to receive an initial weighted average total mortgage servicing amount of 44 bps on the performing UPB, as well as any ancillary income from Excess MSR Pool 2014. On February 28, 2014, pursuant to the flow and bulk Excess MSR Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased from Freedom Mortgage Excess MSRs on mortgage loans originated by Freedom Mortgage during the first quarter of 2014 with an UPB of approximately $76.8 million. The Company acquired an approximate 85% interest in the Excess MSRs for approximately $567,000. The terms of the purchase include recapture provisions that are the same as those in the Excess MSR acquisition agreements the Company entered into with Freedom Mortgage in October 2013. On March 31, 2014, pursuant to the flow and bulk Excess MSR Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased from Freedom Mortgage Excess MSRs on mortgage loans originated by a third party originator with an aggregate UPB of approximately $159.8 million. Freedom Mortgage purchased the MSRs on these mortgage loans from a third party on January 31, 2014. The Company acquired an approximate 71% interest in the Excess MSRs for approximately $946,000. The terms of the purchase include recapture provisions that are the same as those in the Excess MSR acquisition agreements the Company entered into with Freedom Mortgage in October 2013. On June 30, 2014, pursuant to the flow and bulk Excess MSR purchase agreement, the Company purchased from Freedom Mortgage Excess MSRs on mortgage loans originated by Freedom Mortgage during the second quarter of 2014 with an aggregate UPB of approximately $98.1 million. The Company acquired an approximate 85% interest in the Excess MSRs for approximately $661,000. The terms of the purchase include recapture provisions that are the same as those in the Excess MSR acquisition agreements the Company entered into with Freedom Mortgage in October 2013. The mortgage loans underlying the Excess MSRs purchased in 2014 are collectively referred to as “Pool 2014,” and the recapture provisions, which are identical, are collectively referred to as the “Pool 2014—Recapture Agreement.” On November 15, 2016, the Company sold all of the Excess MSRs relating to Excess MSR Pool 2014 to Freedom Mortgage, and the flow and bulk Excess MSR purchase agreement was terminated. See Note.7. MSRs On May 29, 2015, in conjunction with the acquisition of Aurora, the Company acquired MSRs on conventional mortgage loans with an aggregate UPB of approximately $718.4 million. On June 10, 2015, the Company agreed to transfer the direct servicing of the MSR portfolio to Freedom Mortgage pursuant to a subservicing agreement with Freedom Mortgage. The transfer occurred in September 2015. Pending the transfer, the former servicing employees of Aurora, now employees of Freedom Mortgage, directly serviced the portfolio for Aurora. The servicing was provided at cost pursuant to the Management Agreement with the Manager and the Services Agreement between the Manager and Freedom Mortgage. The cost for such services is included in servicing costs on the consolidated statements of income. Aurora subsequently acquired from third parties three portfolios of MSRs on loans owned or securitized by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac with an aggregate UPB of approximately $3.1 billion as of their respective closing dates. In June 2016, Aurora entered into a joint marketing recapture agreement with Freedom Mortgage. Pursuant to this agreement, Freedom Mortgage will attempt to refinance certain mortgage loans underlying Aurora’s MSR portfolio as directed by Aurora. See Note 7.

Equity and Earnings per Share [Abstract] | |
Equity and Earnings per Share | Note 6 — Equity and Earnings per Share Equity Incentive Plan During 2013, the board of directors approved and the Company adopted the Cherry Hill Mortgage Investment Corporation 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (“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 Company’s operating partnership, Cherry Hill Operating Partnership, LP (the “Operating Partnership”). The following tables present certain information about the Company’s 2013 Plan as of the dates indicated: Equity Incentive Plan Information As of December 31, 2016 Number of Securities Issued or to be Issued Upon Exercise Number of Securities Remaining Available For Future Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans Equity compensation Plans Approved By Shareholders 1,335,218 LTIP-OP Units 140,350 Forfeited LTIP-OP Units (916 ) Shares of Common Stock 28,503 Forfeited Shares of Common Stock (3,155 ) Equity Compensation Plans Not Approved By Shareholders — — As of December 31, 2015 Number of Securities Issued or to be Issued Upon Exercise Number of Securities Remaining Available For Future Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans Equity compensation Plans Approved By Shareholders 1,377,112 LTIP-OP Units 103,850 Shares of Common Stock 19,038 Equity Compensation Plans Not Approved By Shareholders — — As of December 31, 2014 Number of Securities Issued or to be Issued Upon Exercise Number of Securities Remaining Available For Future Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans Equity compensation Plans Approved By Shareholders 1,421,607 LTIP-OP Units 68,850 Shares of Common Stock 9,543 Equity Compensation Plans Not Approved By Shareholders — — 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 Company’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/exchange rights. Each LTIP-OP Unit awarded is deemed equivalent to an award of one share 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 shares of common stock, cash, or a combination thereof, at the Company’s option, 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 Units holder redeems an OP Unit (as described above), non-controlling interest in the Operating Partnership is reduced and the Company’s equity is increased. The table below sets forth certain information regarding the LTIP-OP Units that have been granted by the board of directors (dollars in thousands, except per share data): LTIP-OP Unit Grant Information Grant Date Number of Grantees Stock Price on Grant Date Number of Units Granted Aggregate Fair Market Value June 15, 2016 14 $ 15.85 36,500 $ 579 September 9, 2015 12 $ 15.80 35,000 $ 553 June 10, 2014 10 $ 19.33 31,350 $ 606 LTIP-OP Units vest ratably over the first three year anniversaries of the grant date. The fair value of each LTIP-OP Unit was determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the applicable grant date in all other cases. As of December 31, 2016, 69,789 LTIP-OP Units have vested. The Company recognized approximately $618,000 and $463,000 in share-based compensation expense in the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. There was approximately $849,000 of total unrecognized share-based compensation expense as of December 31, 2016, related to the 69,645 non-vested LTIP-OP Units. This unrecognized share-based compensation expense is expected to be recognized ratably over the remaining vesting period of up to three years. The aggregate expense related to the LTIP-OP Unit grants is presented as “General and administrative expense” in the Company’s consolidated income statement. On January 27, 2014, the Company granted each of the independent directors pursuant to the 2013 Plan $10,000 (based on the closing price on the grant date) of common stock (530 shares each for a total of 1,590 shares), which were fully vested on the date of grant, and $50,000 (based on the closing price on the date of grant) of restricted shares of common stock (2,651 shares each for a total of 7,953 shares) which were subject to forfeiture in certain circumstances within one year from the grant date. They are no longer subject to forfeiture and are vested. On September 9, 2015, the Company granted each of the independent directors pursuant to the 2013 Plan $50,000 (based on the closing price on the date of grant) of restricted shares of common stock (3,165 each for a total of 9,495 shares) which were subject to forfeiture in certain circumstances within one year from the grant date. The shares are no longer subject to forfeiture and are vested. This unrecognized share-based compensation expense is expected to be recognized ratably over the remaining vesting period of up to three years. On June 15, 2016, pursuant to the 2013 Plan, the Company granted each of the independent directors $50,000 (based on the closing price on the date of grant) of restricted shares of common stock (3,155 shares each for a total of 9,465 shares) which were subject to forfeiture in certain circumstances within one year from the grant date. This unrecognized share-based compensation expense is expected to be recognized ratably over the vesting period. The 3,155 shares granted to Mr. Kislak were forfeited when he resigned as a director of the Company on September 19, 2016. The forfeited shares have been returned to the shares available for future issuance under the 2013 Plan. As of December 31, 2016, 1,335,218 shares of common stock remain available for future issuance under the 2013 Plan. Non-Controlling Interests in Operating Partnership Non-controlling interests in the Operating Partnership in the accompanying consolidated financial statements relate to LTIP-OP Units in the Operating Partnership held by parties other than the Company. As of December 31, 2016, the non-controlling interest holders in the Operating Partnership owned 139,434 LTIP-OP Units, or approximately 1.9% of the Operating Partnership. Pursuant to ASC 810, Consolidation Earnings per Share The Company is required to present both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) 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 (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the additional dilutive effect of common stock equivalents during each period. In accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share The following table presents basic earnings per share of common stock for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands, except per share data): Earnings per Share Information Year Ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Numerator: Net income attributable to common stockholders and participating securities $ 25,243 $ 13,355 $ 2,375 Net income allocable to common stockholders $ 24,832 $ 13,214 $ 2,353 Denominator: Weighted average common shares outstanding 7,512,444 7,509,543 7,505,546 Weighted average diluted shares outstanding 7,523,297 7,512,444 7,508,827 Basic and Dilutive: Basic earnings per share $ 3.31 $ 1.76 $ 0.31 Diluted earnings per share $ 3.30 $ 1.76 $ 0.31 There were no participating securities or equity instruments outstanding that were anti-dilutive for purposes of calculating earnings per share for the periods presented. |

Transactions with Affiliates and Affiliated Entities [Abstract] | |
Transactions with Affiliates and Affiliated Entities | Note 7 — Transactions with Affiliates and Affiliated Entities Manager The Company has entered into a 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”). 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. The Management Agreement terminates on October 22, 2020, subject to automatic renewal for successive one-year terms and to certain termination rights. The Manager’s performance is reviewed prior to any renewal and may be terminated by the Company for cause without payment of a termination fee, or may be terminated without cause with payment of a termination fee, as defined in the Management Agreement, 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 effective date of the termination, upon either the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the members of the board of directors or the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding common stock. 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 stockholders’ equity (as defined in the Management Agreement). The Manager is a party to a services agreement (the “Services Agreement”) with Freedom Mortgage, pursuant to which Freedom Mortgage provides to the Manager the personnel, services and resources as needed by the Manager to enable the Manager to carry out its obligations and responsibilities under the Management Agreement. The Company is a named third-party beneficiary to the Services Agreement and, as a result, has, as a non-exclusive remedy, a direct right of action against Freedom Mortgage in the event of any breach by the Manager of any of its duties, obligations or agreements under the Management Agreement that arise out of or result from any breach by Freedom Mortgage of its obligations under the Services Agreement. The Services Agreement will terminate upon the termination of the Management Agreement. Pursuant to the Services Agreement, the Manager will make certain payments to Freedom Mortgage in connection with the services provided. As a result, the Management Agreement between the Company and the Manager was negotiated between related parties, and the terms, including fees payable, may not be as favorable to the Company as if it had been negotiated with an unaffiliated third party. At the time the Management Agreement was negotiated, both the Manager and Freedom Mortgage were controlled by Mr. Stanley Middleman, who is also a shareholder of the Company. Ownership of the Manager has been transferred to CHMM Blind Trust, a grantor trust for the benefit of Mr. Middleman. The Management Agreement provides that the Company will reimburse the Manager for (i) various expenses incurred by the Manager or its officers, and agents on the Company’s behalf, including costs of software, legal, accounting, tax, administrative and other similar services rendered for the Company by providers retained by the Manager and (ii) the allocable portion of the compensation paid to specified officers dedicated to the Company. “Due to affiliates” consisted of the following for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands): Management Fee to Affiliate Year Ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Management fees $ 2,303 $ 2,263 $ 2,150 Compensation reimbursement 643 520 410 Total $ 2,946 $ 2,783 $ 2,560 Subservicing Agreement Freedom Mortgage is directly sub-servicing the Company’s portfolio of MSRs pursuant to a subservicing agreement entered into on June 10, 2015. The agreement has an initial term of three (3) years, expiring on September 1, 2018, and is subject to automatic renewal for additional three year terms unless either party chooses not to renew. The agreement may be terminated without cause by either party by giving notice as specified in the agreement. Under that agreement, Freedom Mortgage agrees to service the applicable mortgage loans in accordance with applicable law and the requirements of the applicable agency. The Company pays fees for specified services which are included in “Servicing costs” on the consolidated statements of income. Joint Marketing Recapture Agreement In June 2016, Aurora entered into a joint marketing recapture agreement with Freedom Mortgage. Pursuant to this agreement, Freedom Mortgage will attempt to refinance certain mortgage loans underlying Aurora’s MSR portfolio as directed by Aurora. If a loan is refinanced, Aurora will pay Freedom Mortgage a fee for its origination services. Freedom Mortgage will be entitled to sell the loan for its own benefit and will transfer the related MSR to Aurora. The agreement has an initial term of one year, subject to automatic renewals of one year each and subject to termination by either party upon 60 days prior notice. All new loans must qualify for sale to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and meet other conditions set forth in the agreement. As of December 31, 2016, MSRs on 36 loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of approximately $9.8 million had been received from Freedom Mortgage which generated approximately $20,500 in fees due to Freedom Mortgage. On November 15, 2016, the Company completed the sale of the Pool 1 Excess MSRs and the Pool 2014 Excess MSRs to Freedom Mortgage. At the closing, the Company received cash proceeds of approximately $38.0 million, repaid $12.0 million of outstanding borrowings drawn on our $25 million term loan facility with NexBank SSB, or the NexBank term loan, with a portion of the cash proceeds and released our security interests arising under the Pool 1 Agreement and the Flow Agreement. The Company invested the remaining cash proceeds in Agency RMBS and expects to redeploy those proceeds into future MSR acquisitions. See Note 19 for information regarding the sale of the Pool 2 Excess MSRs. In connection with the transactions described above, Freedom Mortgage agreed to make 12 monthly yield maintenance payments to the Company beginning in December 2016 aggregating $3.0 million which are intended to mitigate the reduction in yield on the remaining assets. Other Transactions with Affiliated Entities The Company, through one of its subsidiaries, has entered into an uncommitted master repurchase agreement with Freedom Mortgage pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, purchase a newly issued Ginnie Mae RMBS, subject to Freedom Mortgage’s agreement to repurchase the security at a future date, generally no more than 90 days later. The Company simultaneously re-hypothecates the security to one of its counterparties with whom it has a repurchase agreement, for an identical term. There were no transactions outstanding at December 31, 2016 or 2015. See Note 5 for a discussion of the co-investments in Excess MSRs with Freedom Mortgage and the services provided by Freedom Mortgage during the period prior to transfer to Freedom Mortgage of the direct servicing obligations for the MSRs. See Note 10 for a discussion of the Acknowledgement Agreement among the Company, Freedom Mortgage and Ginnie Mae entered into in connection with the co-investments in Excess MSRs. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company earned approximately $1.7 million in income and had a corresponding expense of approximately $593,000 which are included in “Interest income” and “Interest expense”, respectively, on the consolidated statements of income. No such related income or expense was earned or incurred during the year ended December 31, 2015. There were no such assets, or related liabilities, as of December 31 2016 and December 31, 2015. |

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 its repurchase agreements, the Company enters into interest rate swap agreements. These 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 basis risk management, the Company utilizes treasury futures and forward-settling purchases and sales of RMBS where the underlying pools of mortgage loans are TBAs. Pursuant to these TBA transactions, the Company agrees to purchase or sell, for future delivery, RMBS with certain principal and interest terms and certain types of underlying collateral, but the particular RMBS to be delivered is not identified until shortly before the TBA settlement date. The following table summarizes the outstanding notional amounts of derivative instruments as of the dates indicated (dollars in thousands): Non-hedge derivatives December 31, 2016 December 31, 2015 Notional amount of interest rate swaps $ 415,850 $ 300,300 Notional amount of swaptions 70,000 85,000 Notional amount of TBAs, net (6,000 ) — Notional amount of Treasury Futures 50,000 — Notional amount of options on Treasury Futures 20,000 — Total notional amount $ 549,850 $ 385,300 The following table presents information about the Company’s interest rate swap agreements as of the dates indicated (dollars in thousands): Notional Amount Weighted Average Pay Rate Weighted Average Receive Rate Weighted Average Years to Maturity December 31, 2016 $ 415,850 1.46 % 0.90 % 4.8 December 31, 2015 $ 300,300 1.71 % 0.37 % 4.3 The following table presents information about the Company’s interest rate swaption agreements as of the dates indicated (dollars in thousands): Notional Amount Weighted Average Pay Rate Weighted Average Receive Rate (A) Weighted Average Years to Maturity December 31, 2016 $ 70,000 2.74 % LIBOR-BBA% 10.9 December 31, 2015 $ 85,000 3.15 % LIBOR-BBA% 10.9 (A) Floats in accordance with LIBOR.

Under GAAP, if the Company has a valid right of offset, it may offset the related asset and liability and report the net amount. The Company presents interest rate swaps, swaptions and treasury futures assets and liabilities on a gross basis in its consolidated balance sheets. 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 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. Following are descriptions of the valuation methodologies used to measure material assets and liabilities at fair value and details of the valuation models, key inputs to those models and significant assumptions utilized. 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, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Excess MSRs The Company holds a portfolio of Excess 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 Excess MSR transactions are observable in the marketplace, the valuation includes unobservable market data inputs (prepayment speeds, delinquency levels and discount rates). As a result, the Company classified 100% of its Excess MSRs as Level 3 fair value assets at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. MSRs The Company 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, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Derivative Instruments The Company enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments as part of its economic hedging strategies. The Company executes interest rate swaps, swaptions, TBAs and treasury futures. The Company utilizes third-party pricing providers to value its financial derivative instruments. As a result, the Company classified 100% of the derivative instruments as Level 2 fair value assets and liabilities at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. 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 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, 2016 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Carrying Value Assets RMBS Fannie Mae $ — $ 448,937 $ — $ 448,937 Freddie Mac — 198,103 — 198,103 CMOs — 24,864 — 24,864 RMBS total — 671,904 — 671,904 Derivative assets Interest rate swaps — 7,639 — 7,639 Interest rate swaptions — 1,482 — 1,482 TBAs — — — — Treasury Futures — — — — Derivative assets total — 9,121 — 9,121 Servicing related assets — — 61,263 61,263 Total Assets $ — $ 681,025 $ 61,263 $ 742,288 Liabilities Derivative liabilities Interest rate swaps — 339 — 339 TBAs — 75 — 75 Treasury Futures — 280 — 280 Derivative liabilities total — 694 — 694 Total Liabilities $ — $ 694 $ — $ 694 As of December 31, 2015 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Carrying Value Assets RMBS Fannie Mae $ — $ 308,772 $ — $ 308,772 Freddie Mac — 193,411 — 193,411 CMOs — 6,059 — 6,059 RMBS total — 508,242 — 508,242 Derivative assets Interest rate swaps — 51 — 51 Interest rate swaptions — 371 — 371 TBAs — — — — Treasury Futures — — — — Derivative assets total — 422 — 422 Servicing related assets — — 97,803 97,803 Total Assets $ — $ 508,664 $ 97,803 $ 606,467 Liabilities Derivative liabilities Interest rate swaps — 4,595 — 4,595 TBAs — — — — Treasury Futures — — — — Derivative liabilities total — 4,595 — 4,595 Total Liabilities $ — $ 4,595 $ — $ 4,595 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, 2016 and December 31, 2015, 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 instruments requires significant judgment by the third-party pricing providers and management. 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. In connection with the above, 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 valuation specialists. The determination of estimated cash flows used in pricing models is inherently subjective and imprecise. 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. 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, 2016 and December 31, 2015 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, 2016 Level 3 (A) Excess MSRs Pool 1 Pool 2 Pool 2014 MSRs Total Balance at December 31, 2015 $ 43,482 $ 33,054 $ 1,506 $ 19,761 $ 97,803 Purchases and principal paydowns: Purchases — — — 16,179 16,179 Sales (39,916 ) — (1,179 ) — (41,095 ) Proceeds from principal paydowns (3,566 ) (3,911 ) (327 ) — (7,804 ) Other Changes (B) — — — (784 ) (784 ) Purchases and principal paydowns: $ (43,482 ) $ (3,911 ) $ (1,506 ) $ 15,395 $ (33,504 ) Changes in Fair Value due to: Changes in valuation inputs or assumptions used in valuation model — 249 — 227 476 Other changes in fair value (C) — — — (3,512 ) (3,512 ) Unrealized gain (loss) included in Net Income $ — $ 249 $ — $ (3,285 ) $ (3,036 ) Balance at December 31, 2016 $ — $ 29,392 $ — $ 31,871 $ 61,263 As of December 31, 2015 Level 3 (A) Excess MSRs Pool 1 Pool 2 Pool 2014 MSRs Total Balance at December 31, 2014 $ 54,798 $ 34,938 $ 1,586 $ — $ 91,322 Purchases and principal paydowns: Purchases — — — 20,884 20,884 Sales — — — — — Proceeds from principal paydowns (8,825 ) (4,186 ) (250 ) — (13,261 ) Other Changes (B) — — — — — Purchases and principal paydowns: $ (8,825 ) $ (4,186 ) $ (250 ) $ 20,884 $ 7,623 Changes in Fair Value due to: Changes in valuation inputs or assumptions used in valuation model (2,491 ) 2,302 170 (707 ) (726 ) Other changes in fair value (C) — — — (416 ) (416 ) Unrealized gain (loss) included in Net Income $ (2,491 ) $ 2,302 $ 170 $ (1,123 ) $ (1,142 ) Balance at December 31, 2015 $ 43,482 $ 33,054 $ 1,506 $ 19,761 $ 97,803 (A) Includes the recapture agreement for each respective pool.

A change in the assumption used for discount rates may be accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the probability of uncollected payments and a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for prepayment rates. Fair Value of Financial Instruments not Carried at Fair Value in Balance Sheets In accordance with ASC 820, the Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets, for which fair value can be estimated. The following describes the Company’s methods for estimating the fair value for financial instruments. • RMBS available for sale securities, Servicing Related Assets, derivative assets and derivative liabilities are recurring fair value measurements; carrying value equals fair value. See discussion of valuation methods and assumptions within the “Fair Value Measurements” section of this footnote. • Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash have a carrying value which approximates fair value because of the short maturities of these instruments. • The carrying value of repurchase agreements and corporate debt that mature in less than one year generally approximates fair value due to the short maturities. The Company does not hold any repurchase agreements that are considered long-term. Corporate debt that matures in more than one year, with a floating rate generally approximates fair value. |

Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Note 10 — Commitments and Contingencies The following represents commitments and contingencies of the Company as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015: 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 Company relies on resources of Freedom Mortgage to provide the Manager with the necessary resources to conduct Company operations. For further discussion regarding the Management Fee, see Note 7. Legal and Regulatory From time to time the Company may be subject to potential liability under laws and government regulations and various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Liabilities are established for legal claims when payments associated with the claims become probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. The actual costs of resolving legal claims may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts established for those claims. Based on information currently available, management is not aware of any legal or regulatory claims that would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and, therefore, no accrual is required as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Commitments to Purchase/Sell RMBS As of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company held forward TBA purchase and sale commitments, respectively, with counterparties, which are forward RMBS trades, whereby the Company committed to purchasing 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, 2016 the Company was not obligated to purchase any securities and was obligated to sell approximately $6.0 million of securities and has been classified within “payables for unsettled trades” on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2015 the Company was not obligated to purchase any securities and was not obligated to sell securities. Acknowledgement Agreements In order to have Ginnie Mae acknowledge our interest in Excess MSRs related to FHA and VA mortgage loans that have been pooled into securities guaranteed by Ginnie Mae, the Company entered into an acknowledgment agreement with Ginnie Mae and Freedom Mortgage. Under that agreement, if Freedom Mortgage failed to make a required payment to the holders of the Ginnie Mae-guaranteed RMBS, the Company would have been obligated to make that payment even though the payment may relate to loans for which the Company did not own any Excess MSRs. The Company’s failure to make that payment would have resulted in liability to Ginnie Mae for any losses or claims that it suffers as a result. This agreement was terminated in connection with the sale of the Pool 2 Excess MSRs in February 2017. See Note 19. Management has determined, that as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the risk of material loss to be remote and thus no liability has been accrued. In connection with the MSR Financing Facility entered into by Aurora and QRS III, those parties also entered into an acknowledgement 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 13. |

Notes Payable [Abstract] | |
Notes Payable | Note 13 – Notes Payable At December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $8.9 million and $24.3 million, respectively, on a $25.0 million Term Loan. The outstanding borrowings bear interest at a weighted average interest rate of 5.57% per annum and are secured by the pledge of the Company’s existing portfolio of Excess MSRs. The principal payments on the borrowings are due monthly, beginning in September 2015, based on a 10-year amortization schedule with a maturity date in April 2020. Prior to September 2015, only interest was payable monthly. The Term Loan was paid in full in connection with the sale of the Excess MSRs to Freedom Mortgage. See Notes 7 and 19. In September 2016, Aurora and QRS III entered into a loan and security agreement (the “MSR Financing Facility”), pursuant to which Aurora and QRS III pledged their respective rights in all existing and future MSRs for loans owned or securitized by Fannie Mae to secure borrowings up to a maximum of $25.0 million outstanding at any one time. The facility has a two-year revolving period, subject to extension by agreement, during which only interest payments are due. Borrowings bear interest at a spread over one month LIBOR. At the end of the revolving period, the outstanding amount will be converted to a three-year term loan with monthly payments of interest (calculated as a spread over the rate for one-year interest rate swaps) and principal (calculated on a ten-year amortization schedule). At December 31 2016, $14.0 million was outstanding under the MSR Financing Facility. 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, 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Total Term Loan Borrowings under Term Loan facility $ 2,841 $ 3,005 $ 3,040 $ — $ — $ 8,886 MSR Financing Facility Borrowings under MSR Financing facility $ — $ 271 $ 1,118 $ 1,175 $ 11,436 $ 14,000 As of December 31, 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 Total Term Loan Borrowings under Term Loan facility $ 1,958 $ 2,074 $ 2,192 $ 2,317 $ 15,762 $ 24,303 |

Receivables and Other Assets | Note 14 – Receivables and Other Assets The assets comprising “Receivables and other assets” as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are summarized in the following table (dollars in thousands): Receivables and Other Assets December 31, 2016 December 31, 2015 Excess servicing income receivable $ 5,598 $ 2,159 Servicing advances 1,432 787 Interest receivable 2,069 1,497 Federal Home Loan Bank stock — 3,261 Deferred tax receivable — 203 Repurchased loans held for sale 1,570 — Other receivables 1,628 1,421 Total other assets $ 12,29 7 $ 9,328 As a condition to membership in the FHLBI, CHMI Insurance was required to purchase and hold a certain amount of FHLBI stock, which was based, in part, upon the outstanding principal balance of advances from the FHLBI. At December 31, 2015, CHMI Insurance had stock in the FHLBI totaling approximately $3.3 million, which is included in Other Assets on the consolidated balance sheets. FHLBI stock is considered a non-marketable, long-term investment, is carried at cost and is subject to recoverability testing under applicable accounting standards. This stock can only be redeemed or sold at its par value, and only to the FHLBI. Accordingly, when evaluating FHLBI stock for impairment, the Company considers the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than recognizing temporary declines in value. As of December 31, 2016, CHMI Insurance had withdrawn from membership in the FHLBI and its FHLBI stock has been redeemed. The Company only records as an asset those servicing advances that the Company deems recoverable. As a result of the Company's investments in MSRs, it is obligated from time to time to repurchase an underlying loan from the Agency for which it is being serviced due to an alleged breach of a representation or warranty. Loans acquired in this manner are recorded at the purchase price less any principal recoveries and are then offered for sale in the scratch and dent market. In the year ended December 31, 2016 the Company purchased five loans, with an aggregate UPB of approximately $1.64 million at the time of purchase, as required by the applicable Agency. None of those loans have been sold. The repurchased loans are considered Level 2 Assets and are expected to be liquidated in 2017. |

Income Taxes [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Note 16 – Income Taxes The Company has 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 has elected to be taxed as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes; prior to this date, CHMI Solutions was a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. CHMI Solutions has jointly elected with the Company, the ultimate beneficial owner of CHMI Solutions, to be treated as a TRS of the Company, and all activities conducted through CHMI Solutions and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Aurora, are subject to federal and state income taxes. CHMI Solutions files a consolidated tax return with Aurora Financial Group Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary, 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, 2016 2015 2014 Current federal income tax expense $ 575 $ — $ — Current state income tax expense 83 — 6 Deferred federal income tax expense (benefit) (198 ) (309 ) (124 ) Deferred state income tax expense (benefit) (2 ) (34 ) (22 ) Total Income Tax Expense $ 458 $ (343 ) $ (140 ) 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, 2016 2015 2014 Computed income tax (benefit) expense at federal rate $ 8,995 35.0 % $ 4,554 35.0 % $ 824 35.0 % State taxes, net of federal benefit, if applicable 50 0.2 % (34 ) (0.0 )% 92 3.9 % Permanent differences in taxable income from GAAP pre-tax income 140 0.6 % (157 ) (1.4 )% 4,874 207.2 % REIT income not subject to tax (8,727 ) (34.0 )% (4,706 ) (36.2 )% (5,930 ) (252.0 )% (Benefit from) Provision for Income Taxes/Effective Tax Rate (A) $ 458 1.8 % $ (343 ) (2.6 )% $ (140 ) (5.9 )% (A) The provision for income taxes is recorded at the TRS level. The Company’s consolidated balance sheets, at December 31, 2016, December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, contain the following current and deferred tax liabilities and assets, which are recorded at the TRS level (dollars in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Income taxes payable Federal income taxes payable $ 575 $ — $ — State and local income taxes payable 84 — — Income taxes payable $ 659 $ — $ — December 31, 2016 December 31, 2015 December 31, 2014 Deferred tax assets (liabilities) Deferred tax - organizational expenses $ 53 $ 72 $ 84 Deferred tax - mortgage servicing rights 340 (121 ) — Deferred tax - net operating loss — 252 62 Total net deferred tax assets (liabilities) $ 393 $ 203 $ 146 The deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2016 was primarily related to mortgage servicing rights. The deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 primarily consisted of net operating loss carryforwards and acquisition related costs capitalized for tax purposes. CHMI Solutions’ federal and state net operating loss carryforwards at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were approximately $693,000 and $154,000, respectively, and are available to offset future taxable income and expire in 2035 and 2034, respectively. Management has determined that it is more likely than not that all of CHMI Solutions’ deferred tax assets will be realized in the future. Accordingly, no valuation allowance has been established at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. As of December 31, 2016, the deferred tax liability is included in "Accrued expenses and other liabilities" in the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2015, the deferred tax asset is 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 uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Additionally, there were no amounts accrued for penalties or interest as of or during the periods presented in these consolidated financial statements. The Company’s 2015, 2014 and 2013 federal, state and local income tax returns remain open for examination by the relevant authorities. |

Business Combinations [Abstract] | |
Business Combinations | Note 17 – Business Combinations On May 29, 2015 (the acquisition date), CHMI Solutions acquired 100% of the outstanding voting stock of Aurora. The results of Aurora’s operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that date. Aurora is a licensed mortgage origination and servicing company. Aurora is a seller/servicer for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and an issuer for Ginnie Mae. The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred totaled approximately $3.9 million, which consisted of cash. Twenty percent (20%) of the consideration was deposited in an escrow account to provide a source of funds for the seller’s indemnification obligations. Transaction-related costs of approximately $95,400 were expensed as incurred as of September 30, 2015, and are included in “General and administrative expenses” on the consolidated income statement. In the Aurora acquisition agreement, the parties agreed to fix the valuation of the MSR portfolio, as a percentage of par, based on third party appraisals obtained at the end of January 2015. The agreement also provided that the UPB of the portfolio would be fixed 90 days after the agreement was signed. Due to the increase in interest rates between January and the closing date at the end of May 2015, the value of the MSR portfolio increased. In addition, the UPB of the portfolio declined between the end of April and the closing date in May. Valuation adjustments for intangible assets and loan loss reserves also contributed to bargain purchase in the amount of approximately $734,000 as of September 30, 2015 and has been classified within “Realized gain (loss) on acquired assets, net” on the consolidated statements of income. The following represents the pro forma consolidated income statement as if Aurora had been included in the consolidated results of the Company for each of the last three calendar years. The unaudited pro forma information is intended for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the Company’s future operating results or operating results that would have occurred had the Aurora acquisition been completed at the beginning of 2015. No assumptions have been applied to the pro forma results of operations regarding possible revenue enhancements, expense efficiencies or asset dispositions (dollars in thousands): Pro Forma Consolidated Income Statement Year Ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Revenue $ 31,931 $ 18,871 $ 7,811 Earnings (loss) $ 24,832 $ 13,460 $ 2,398 Earnings (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock Basic $ 3.31 $ 1.79 $ 0.32 Diluted $ 3.30 $ 1.79 $ 0.32 Weighted Average Number of Shares of Common Stock Outstanding Basic 7,512,444 7,509,543 7,505,546 Diluted 7,523,297 7,512,444 7,508,827 These amounts have been calculated after applying the Company’s accounting policies and adjusting the results of Aurora primarily to reflect the exclusion of the bargain purchase and transaction costs together with the consequential tax effects. |

CHMI Insurance Company [Abstract] | |
CHMI Insurance Company | Note 18 – CHMI Insurance Company The Company’s indirectly owned subsidiary, CHMI Insurance Company LLC, or CHMI Insurance, became a member of the FHLBI on June 26, 2015. As a member of the FHLBI, CHMI Insurance had access to a variety of products and services offered by the FHLBI, including secured advances. As of December 31, 2015, CHMI Insurance had approximately $62.3 million of outstanding advances from the FHLBI and had stock in the FHLBI totaling approximately $3.3 million, which is included in Other Assets on the consolidated balance sheet. In January 2016, the Federal Housing Finance Agency issued a final regulation that requires the Federal Home Loan Banks to terminate the memberships of their captive insurance company members within one year or five years after the rule becomes effective. As a result of this rule, CHMI Insurance withdrew from membership in the FHLBI and dissolved in December 2016. |

Subsequent Events [Abstract] | |
Subsequent Events | Note 19 – Subsequent Events We completed the sale of the Pool 2 Excess MSRs to Freedom Mortgage on February 1, 2017. In payment of the purchase price Freedom Mortgage transferred to Aurora Ginnie Mae MSRs with a weighted average servicing fee of approximately 30 basis points. As is required for all transfers of Ginnie Mae MSRs, Aurora and Freedom Mortgage received the approval of this transaction from Ginnie Mae. The Ginnie Mae MSRs relate to a pool consisting primarily of newly originated Ginnie Mae conforming mortgage loans that had an aggregate unpaid principal balance of approximately $4.5 billion as of January 31, 2017. At the closing of the sale of the Pool 2 Excess MSRs, we repaid the remaining outstanding borrowings drawn on the Term Loan with cash on hand, released our security interest arising under the Excess MSR 2 Agreement and terminated that agreement. In addition, the Acknowledgment Agreement that we and Freedom Mortgage entered into with Ginnie Mae at the time of our IPO was terminated. |

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Accounting | Basis of Accounting The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The Company consolidates those entities in which it has an investment of 50% or more and has control over significant operating, financial and investing decisions of the entity. |
Emerging Growth Company Status | Emerging Growth Company Status On April 5, 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”) was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. Because the Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company,” it may, under Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, delay adoption of new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies until such standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company has elected to take advantage of this extended transition period until the first to occur of the date that it (i) is no longer an “emerging growth company” or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of this extended transition period. As a result, the consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to those of other public companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards. Until the date that the Company is no longer an “emerging growth company” or affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period, upon issuance of a new or revised accounting standard that applies to the consolidated financial statements and that has a different effective date for public and private companies, the Company will disclose the date on which adoption is required for non-emerging growth companies and the date on which it will adopt the recently issued accounting standard. |
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 fair value of Excess MSRs and MSRs (collectively, “Servicing Related Assets”), RMBS, derivatives and credit losses including the period of time during which the Company anticipates an increase in the fair values of securities sufficient to recover unrealized losses on those securities, and other estimates that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. It is likely that changes in these estimates (e.g., valuation changes due to supply and demand, credit performance, prepayments, interest rates, or other reasons) will occur in the near term. The Company’s estimates are inherently subjective in nature. Actual results could differ from the Company’s estimates and 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 significant tax risks. 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 (including any applicable alternative minimum tax), which could be material. Unless entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions, the Company would also be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost. |
Investments in RMBS | Investments in RMBS Classification Fair value is determined under the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Investment securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. At disposition, the net realized gain or loss is determined on the basis of the cost of the specific investment and is included in earnings. All RMBS sold in the year ended December 31, 2016 were settled prior to period end. Revenue Recognition Impairment |
Investments in Excess MSRs | Investments in Excess MSRs Classification Revenue Recognition |
Investments in MSRs | Investments in MSRs Classification Revenue Recognition Servicing fee income received and servicing expenses incurred are reported on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The difference between the fair value of MSRs and their amortized cost basis is recorded on the consolidated statements of income as “Unrealized gain (loss) on investments in MSRs.” Fair value is generally determined by discounting the expected future cash flows using discount rates that incorporate the market risks and liquidity premium specific to the MSRs and, therefore, may differ from their effective yields. As a result of the Company’s investments in MSRs, it is obligated from time to time to repurchase an underlying loan from the GSE for which it is being serviced due to an alleged breach of a representation or warranty. Loans acquired in this manner are recorded at the purchase price less any principal recoveries and are then offered for sale in the scratch and dent market. In the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company purchased five loans, with an aggregate UPB of approximately $1.64 million at the time of purchase, as required by the applicable agency. None of those loans have been sold. |
Derivatives and Hedging Activities | Derivatives and Hedging Activities Derivative transactions include swaps, swaptions, Treasury futures and “to-be-announced” securities (“TBAs”). Swaps and swaptions are entered into by the Company solely for interest rate risk management purposes. TBAs and treasury futures are used for duration risk and basis risk management purposes. The decision of 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 management, including restrictions imposed by the Code on REITs. In determining whether to economically hedge a risk, the Company may consider whether other assets, liabilities, firm commitments and anticipated transactions already offset or reduce the risk. All transactions undertaken as economic hedges are entered into with a view towards minimizing the potential for economic losses that could be incurred by the Company. Generally, derivatives entered into are not intended to qualify as hedges under GAAP, unless specifically stated otherwise. The Company’s derivative financial instruments contain credit risk to the extent that its bank counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreements. The Company reduces such risk by limiting its counterparties to major financial institutions. In addition, the potential risk of loss with any one party resulting from this type of credit risk is monitored. Finally, the Company’s interest rate swaps are required to be cleared on an exchange, which further mitigates, but does not eliminate, credit risk. Management does not expect any material losses as a result of default by other parties. 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 as collateral against the Company’s derivatives in each case as of December 31, 2016 (approximately $1.1 million), borrowings under its repurchase agreements (approximately $20.4 million) as well as cash held that relates to the $8.9 million of borrowings on a term loan (“Term Loan”) (approximately $1.1 million). As of December 31, 2015, cash held by counterparties as collateral against the Company’s derivatives (approximately $4.6 million), borrowings under its repurchase agreements (approximately $4.2 million) as well as cash held that relates to the $24.3 million of borrowings on the Term Loan (approximately $1.1 million). For further information on the restricted cash as it relates to the Term Loan, see Note 13. |

Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code commencing with its short taxable year ended December 31, 2013. The Company expects to continue to qualify to be treated as a REIT. As long as the Company qualifies as a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes on its taxable income to the extent it annually distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to stockholders and does not engage in prohibited transactions. The Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”), CHMI Solutions and Aurora, are subject to U.S. federal income taxes on their taxable income. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes |

Repurchase Agreements and Interest Expense | The Company finances its investments in RMBS with short-term borrowings under master repurchase agreements. The repurchase agreements are generally short-term debt, which expire within one year. Borrowings under repurchase agreements generally bear interest rates of a specified margin over one-month LIBOR and are generally uncommitted. The repurchase 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. |
Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis Advances | Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis Advances Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (“FHLBI”) at December 31, 2015 were secured by the pledge of Agency RMBS, had bullet maturities and bore interest at rates based on specified margins over LIBOR. Advances were treated as collateralized financing transactions and were carried at their contractual amounts. Interest was recorded at the contractual amount on an accrual basis. See Note 12 for information regarding the regulatory change leading to the withdrawal of our captive insurance subsidiary from membership in the FHLBI. |
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 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, as presented in the consolidated statements of income, adjusted for unrealized gains or losses on RMBS, which are designated as available for sale. |
