Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Business and Organization | KKR Real Estate Finance Trust Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, referred to throughout this report as the "Company", " KREF ", "we", "us" and "our") is a Maryland corporation that was formed and commenced operations on October 2, 2014 as a mortgage " real estate investment trust " (" REIT ") that focuses primarily on originating and acquiring senior loans secured by commercial real estate assets. KREF has elected and intends to maintain its qualification to be taxed as a REIT under the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the " Internal Revenue Code "), for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As such, KREF will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on that portion of its income that it distributes to stockholders if it distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gains. See Note 12 regarding taxes applicable to KREF . KREF is externally managed by KKR Real Estate Finance Manager LLC (" Manager "), an indirect subsidiary of KKR & Co. L.P. (together with its subsidiaries, " KKR "), through a management agreement (" Management Agreement ") pursuant to which the Manager provides a management team and other professionals who are responsible for implementing KREF ’s business strategy, subject to the supervision of KREF ’s board of directors. For its services, the Manager is entitled to management fees and incentive compensation, both defined in, and in accordance with the terms of, the Management Agreement (Note 10 ). As of March 31, 2018 , KKR beneficially owned 23,758,616 shares of KREF 's common stock, of which 3,758,616 shares were held by KKR on behalf of a third-party investor. As of March 31, 2018 , KREF 's principal business activities related to the origination and purchase of credit investments related to commercial real estate. Management assesses performance of KREF 's current portfolio of leveraged and unleveraged commercial mortgage loans and commercial mortgage-backed securities (" CMBS ") as a whole and makes operating decisions accordingly. As a result, management presents KREF |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Basis of Presentation — The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes of KREF are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (" GAAP ") for interim financial information and instructions to Form 10-Q. The condensed consolidated financial statements, including these notes, are unaudited and exclude some of the disclosures required in annual financial statements. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of KREF and its consolidated subsidiaries, and all intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of KREF ’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. The operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with KREF Consolidation — KREF consolidates those entities for which (i) it controls significant operating, financial and investing decisions of the entity or (ii) management determines that KREF is the primary beneficiary of entities deemed to be variable interest entities (" VIE s"). Variable Interest Entities — VIE s are defined as entities in which equity investors do not have an interest with the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. A VIE is required to be consolidated only by its primary beneficiary, which is defined as the party that has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and that has the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could be potentially significant to the VIE (Note 6 ). To assess whether KREF has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE ’s economic performance, KREF considers all the facts and circumstances, including its role in establishing the VIE and its ongoing rights and responsibilities. This assessment includes, first, identifying the activities that most significantly impact the VIE ’s economic performance; and second, identifying which party, if any, has power to direct those activities. To assess whether KREF has the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE , KREF considers all of its economic interests and applies judgment in determining whether these interests, in the aggregate, are considered potentially significant to the VIE . CMBS — KREF consolidates those trusts that issue beneficial ownership interests in mortgage loans secured by commercial real estate (commonly known as CMBS ) when KREF holds a variable interest in, and management considers KREF to be the primary beneficiary of, those trusts. Management believes the performance of the assets that underlie CMBS issuances most significantly impacts the economic performance of the trust, and the primary beneficiary is generally the entity that conducts activities that most significantly impact the performance of the underlying assets. In particular, the most subordinate tranches of CMBS expose the holder to the greater variability of economic performance when compared to more senior tranches since the subordinate tranches absorb a disproportionately higher amount of the credit risk related to the underlying assets. Generally, a trust designates the most junior subordinate tranche outstanding as the controlling class, which entitles the holder of the controlling class to unilaterally appoint and remove the special servicer for the trust. The special servicer is responsible for the servicing and administration of delinquent and nonperforming loans as well as real estate owned (" REO ") properties held as collateral delivered on foreclosed loans. While the special servicer cannot prevent losses, its services to the trust are designed to mitigate credit losses to holders of the CMBS . For the trusts that KREF consolidates, KREF holds non-investment grade rated and unrated tranches that represent the most subordinated tranches of the CMBS issued by those trusts, which include the controlling class. As the holder of the most subordinate tranche, KREF is in a first loss position and has the right to receive benefits. As the holder of the controlling class, KREF has the ability to unilaterally appoint and remove the special servicer for the trust. In these cases, management considers KREF to be the primary beneficiary and consolidates the CMBS trusts. For VIE s in which management determines KREF is the primary beneficiary, all of the underlying assets, liabilities and equity of the trusts are recorded on KREF 's books, and the initial investment, along with any associated unrealized holding gains and losses, are eliminated in consolidation. Similarly, the interest income earned from these trusts is eliminated in consolidation. Management elected the fair value option for KREF 's initial and subsequent recognition of the assets and liabilities of KREF 's consolidated CMBS VIE s in order to provide users of the financial statements with better information regarding the effects of credit risk and other market factors on the CMBS beneficially held by KREF 's stockholders. Since the changes in fair value include the interest income and interest expense associated with these CMBS VIE s, management does not consider the separate presentation of the components of fair value changes to be relevant. Management has elected to present these items in aggregate as " Other Income — Change in net assets related to consolidated variable interest entities " in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income; the residual difference between the fair value of the trusts' assets and liabilities represents KREF 's beneficial interest in the CMBS VIE s. Management separately presents the assets and liabilities of KREF 's consolidated VIE s as individual line items on KREF 's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for entities in which the VIE s assets can only be used to settle the VIE ’s obligations. The liabilities of KREF 's consolidated VIE s consist solely of obligations to the CMBS holders of the consolidated trusts, excluding CMBS held by KREF as such interests are eliminated in consolidation, and the interest accrued thereon, presented as "Liabilities — Variable interest entity liabilities, at fair value ." The assets of KREF 's consolidated VIEs consist principally of commercial mortgage loans and the interest accrued thereon, and are likewise presented as a single line item entitled " Assets — Commercial mortgage loans held in variable interest entities, at fair value ." Assets of a CMBS trust, as a whole, can only be used to settle the obligations of the consolidated CMBS VIE . The assets of KREF 's CMBS VIE s are not individually accessible by, and obligations of the CMBS VIE s are not recourse to, the bondholders. REO assets generally represent a small percentage of the overall asset pool of a CMBS trust. In a new issue CMBS trust there are no REO assets, and no REO existed in KREF 's consolidated VIE assets as of March 31, 2018 . KREF derives the fair value of its Level 3 CMBS VIE assets from its Level 3 CMBS VIE liabilities, which management considers to possess more observable market value data than the CMBS VIE assets. See "— Fair Value — Valuation of Consolidated VIEs " for additional discussion regarding management's valuation of consolidated CMBS VIE s. Commercial Mezzanine Loan Joint Venture — KREF consolidates a joint venture that holds a portion of KREF 's investments in commercial mezzanine loans, and in which a third-party owns a 5.0% redeemable noncontrolling interest (Note 6 ). Management determined the joint venture to be a VIE as the third-party owners of the redeemable noncontrolling interest do not have substantive participating or kick-out rights. KREF owns 95.0% of the equity interests in the joint venture and participates in the profits and losses. Management considers KREF to be the primary beneficiary of the joint venture as KREF holds decision-making power over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the joint venture. Noncontrolling Interests — Noncontrolling interests represent the ownership interests in certain consolidated subsidiaries held by entities or persons other than KREF . Those noncontrolling interests that allow the holder to redeem before liquidation or termination of the entity that issued those interests are considered redeemable noncontrolling interests. The redeemable noncontrolling interests issued by subsidiaries of KREF are subject to certain restrictions and require KREF to transfer assets or issue equity to satisfy the redemption. As KREF does not control the circumstances under which the noncontrolling interests may redeem their interests, management considers these redeemable noncontrolling interests as temporary equity, presented as " Temporary Equity — Redeemable noncontrolling interests in equity of consolidated joint venture " in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and their share of " Net Income (Loss) " as " Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in Income (Loss) of Consolidated Joint Venture " in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. KREF recorded the redeemable noncontrolling interests at fair value upon issuance by subsidiaries of KREF , and accretes to the redemption values at each subsequent reporting period date if KREF determines the noncontrolling interests are redeemable or probable to become redeemable. As of March 31, 2018 , KREF determined that the redeemable noncontrolling interests were not currently redeemable or probable to become redeemable, and as a result did not adjust the value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests. Equity method investments, at fair value — Investments are accounted for under the equity method when KREF has significant influence over the operations of an investee, but KREF does not consolidate that investment. Equity method investments, for which management has not elected a fair value option, are initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for KREF 's share of net income or loss and cash contributions and distributions each period. Management determined that KREF 's investment in the Manager is an interest in a VIE as KREF did not have substantive participating or kick-out rights. KREF does not have the power to direct activities and the obligation to absorb losses of the Manager that could be significant to the Manager . KREF accounts for its investment in the Manager using the equity method since KREF is not the primary beneficiary of the Manager (Note 6 ). Management determined that its investment in an aggregator vehicle alongside KKR Real Estate Credit Opportunity Partners L.P. (" RECOP ") is an interest in a VIE , however KREF is not the primary beneficiary and does not have substantive participating or kick-out rights. Management elected the fair value option for KREF 's investment in RECOP . KREF records its share of net asset value in RECOP as “ Equity method investments, at fair value ” in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and its share of unrealized gains or losses in " Income from equity method investments " in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Note 6 ). Use of Estimates — The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management makes subjective estimates to project cash flows KREF expects to receive on its investments in loans and securities as well as the related market discount rates, which significantly impacts the interest income, impairments, allowance for loan loss and fair values recorded or disclosed. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Fair Value — GAAP requires the categorization of the fair value of financial instruments into three broad levels that form a hierarchy based on the transparency of inputs to the valuation. Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. Level 2 - Inputs are other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 - Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. KREF follows this hierarchy for its financial instruments. The classifications are based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation Process — The Manager reviews the valuation of Level 3 financial instruments as part of KKR 's quarterly process. As of March 31, 2018 , KKR’s valuation process for Level 3 measurements, as described below, subjected valuations to the review and oversight of various committees. KKR has a global valuation committee assisted by the asset class-specific valuation committees, including a real estate valuation committee that reviews and approves all preliminary Level 3 valuations for real estate assets, including the financial instruments held by KREF . The global valuation committee is responsible for coordinating and implementing KKR ’s valuation process to ensure consistency in the application of valuation principles across portfolio investments and between periods. All Level 3 valuations are also subject to approval by the global valuation committee. Valuation of Consolidated VIEs — Management categorizes the financial assets and liabilities of the CMBS trusts that KREF consolidates as Level 3 assets and liabilities in the fair value hierarchy and has elected the fair value option for financial assets and liabilities of each CMBS trust. Management has adopted the measurement alternative included in Accounting Standards Update (" ASU ") No. 2014-13, Measuring the Financial Assets and the Financial Liabilities of a Consolidated Collateralized Financing Entity (" ASU 2014-13"). Pursuant to ASU 2014-13, management measures both the financial assets and financial liabilities of the CMBS trusts consolidated by KREF using the fair value of the financial liabilities, which management considers more observable than the fair value of the financial assets. As a result, KREF presents the CMBS issued by the consolidated trust, but not beneficially owned by KREF 's stockholders, as financial liabilities in KREF 's condensed consolidated financial statements, measured at their estimated fair value; KREF measures the financial assets as the total estimated fair value of the CMBS issued by the consolidated trust, regardless of whether such CMBS represent interests beneficially owned by KREF 's stockholders. Under the measurement alternative prescribed by ASU 2014-13, KREF 's " Net Income (Loss) " reflects the economic interests in the consolidated CMBS beneficially owned by KREF 's stockholders, presented as " Change in net assets related to consolidated variable interest entities " in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, which includes applicable (i) changes in the fair value of CMBS beneficially owned by KREF , (ii) interest and servicing fees earned from the CMBS trust and (iii) other residual returns or losses of the CMBS trust, if any (Note 6 ). Management categorizes the commercial mezzanine loans held by separate joint ventures, VIE s consolidated by KREF as primary beneficiary, as Level 3 assets in the fair value hierarchy as such assets are illiquid, structured instruments that are specific to the properties and their corresponding operating performance (Note 11 ). Other Valuation Matters — For Level 3 financial assets originated, or otherwise acquired, and financial liabilities assumed during the calendar month immediately preceding a quarter end that were conducted in an orderly transaction with an unrelated party, management generally believes that the transaction price provides the most observable indication of fair value given the illiquid nature of these financial instruments, unless management is aware of any circumstances that may cause a material change in the fair value through the remainder of the reporting period. For instance, significant changes to the underlying property or its planned operations may cause material changes in the fair value of commercial mortgage loans acquired, or originated, by KREF . KREF ’s determination of fair value is based upon the best information available for a given circumstance and may incorporate assumptions that are management’s best estimates after consideration of a variety of internal and external factors. When an independent valuation firm expresses an opinion on the fair value of a financial instrument in the form of a range, management selects a value within the range provided by the independent valuation firm, generally the midpoint, to assess the reasonableness of management’s estimated fair value for that financial instrument. See Note 11 for additional information regarding the valuation of KREF 's financial assets and liabilities. Sales of Financial Assets and Financing Agreements — KREF will, from time to time, sell loans, securities and other assets as well as finance assets in the form of secured borrowings. In each case, management evaluates whether the transaction constitutes a sale through legal isolation of the transferred financial asset from KREF , the ability of the transferee to pledge or exchange the transferred asset without constraint and the transfer of control of the transferred asset. For transfers that constitute sales, KREF (i) recognizes the financial assets it retains and liabilities it has incurred, if any, (ii) derecognizes the financial assets it has sold, and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished and (iii) recognizes a realized gain, or loss, based upon the excess, or deficient, proceeds received over the carrying value of the transferred asset. KREF does not recognize a gain, or loss, on interests retained, if any, where management elected the fair value option prior to sale. Balance Sheet Measurement Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents — KREF considers cash equivalents as highly liquid short-term investments with maturities of 90 days or less when purchased. Substantially all amounts on deposit with major financial institutions exceed insured limits. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , KREF held $0 million and $0.4 million , respectively, of restricted cash related to good faith deposits and surety bond deposits. KREF receives good faith deposits from potential borrowers when originating or acquiring commercial mortgage loans, which KREF must return to the borrower in the event of a successful transaction or use to pay the costs it incurs in the event of a broken deal. Management considers these deposits restricted until the good faith deposit is returned to the borrower or management considers the deal broken. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash and cash equivalents reported within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. March 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 Cash and cash equivalents $ 23,124 $ 103,120 Restricted cash — 400 Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash shown in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows $ 23,124 $ 103,520 KREF must also maintain sufficient cash and cash equivalents to satisfy liquidity covenants related to its secured financing agreements. However, such amounts are not restricted from use in KREF 's current operations, and KREF does not present these cash and cash equivalents as restricted. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , KREF was required to maintain unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of at least $16.1 million and $12.1 million , respectively, to satisfy its liquidity covenants (Note 4 ). Commercial Mortgage Loans Held‑For‑Investment and Provision for Loan Losses — KREF recognizes its investments in commercial mortgage loans based on management's intent, and KREF 's ability, to hold those investments through their contractual maturity. Management classifies those loans that management does not intend to sell in the foreseeable future, and KREF is able to hold until maturity, as held-for-investment. Loans that are held‑for‑investment are carried at their aggregate outstanding face amount, net of applicable (i) unamortized origination or acquisition premiums and discounts, (ii) unamortized deferred nonrefundable fees and other direct loan origination costs, (iii) allowance for loan losses and (iv) charge-offs or write-downs of impaired loans. If a loan is determined to be impaired, management writes down the loan through a charge to the provision for loan losses. See "— Expense Recognition — Loan Impairment — Commercial Mortgage Loans, Held-For-Investment " for additional discussion regarding management’s determination for loan losses. KREF applies the interest method to amortize origination or acquisition premiums and discounts and deferred nonrefundable fees or other direct loan origination costs, or on a straight line basis when it approximates the interest method. Loans for which management elects the fair value option at the time of origination, or acquisition, are carried at fair value on a recurring basis (Note 3 ). Commercial Mortgage Loans Held‑For‑Sale — Loans that KREF originates, or acquires, which KREF is unable to hold, or management intends to sell or otherwise dispose of, in the foreseeable future are classified as held‑for‑sale and are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Secured Financing Agreements — KREF 's secured financing agreements are treated as collateralized financing transactions and consist of floating rate, uncommitted repurchase facilities carried at their contractual amounts, net of unamortized debt issuance costs (Note 4 ). Loan Participations Sold, Net — In connection with its investments in senior loans, KREF finances certain investments through the syndication of non-recourse, or limited-recourse, loan participation to unaffiliated third parties. KREF ’s presentation of the senior loan and related financing involved in the syndication depends upon whether GAAP recognized the transaction as a sale, though such differences in presentation do not generally impact KREF ’s net stockholders’ equity or net income aside from timing differences in the recognition of certain transaction costs. To the extent that GAAP recognizes a sale resulting from the syndication, KREF derecognizes the participation in the senior loan that KREF sold and continue to carry the retained portion of the loan as an investment. While KREF does not generally expect to recognize a material gain or loss on these sales, KREF would realize a gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the net proceeds received from the third party purchaser and its carrying value of the loan participation that KREF sold at time of sale. Furthermore, KREF recognizes interest income only on the portion of the senior loan that it retains as a result of the sale. To the extent that GAAP does not recognize a sale resulting from the syndication, KREF does not derecognize the participation in the senior loan that it sold. Instead, KREF recognizes a loan participation sold liability in an amount equal to the principal of the loan participation syndicated less any unamortized discounts or financing costs resulting from the syndication. KREF continues to recognize interest income on the entire senior loan, including the interest attributable to the loan participation sold, as well as interest expense on the loan participation sold liability (Note 5 ). Other Assets and Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities — As of March 31, 2018 , other assets included $2.3 million of deferred debt issuance costs related to credit facilities, net of $0.2 million accumulated amortization. As of December 31, 2017 , other assets included a $4.6 million loan principal payment receivable from a third-party servicer and $2.1 million of deferred debt issuance costs related to credit facilities, net of $0.5 million accumulated amortization. Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities included $2.2 million and $1.6 million of miscellaneous accounts payable and accrued expenses as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively. Special Non-Voting Preferred Stock (" SNVPS ") — Equity instruments that are redeemable for cash or other assets are classified as temporary equity if the instrument is redeemable, at the option of the holder, at a fixed or determinable price on a fixed or determinable date or upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer. Redeemable equity instruments are initially carried at the fair value of the equity instrument at the issuance date, which is subsequently adjusted at each balance sheet date if the instrument is currently redeemable or probable of becoming redeemable. The fair value of the instrument is adjusted to reflect the instrument’s redemption amount at each balance sheet date if KREF determines the SNVPS is redeemable or it is probable that the SNVPS will become redeemable. KREF accounted for the SNVPS as redeemable preferred stock since a third party holds a redemption option, exercisable after May 5, 2018, and such redemption is not solely within KREF ’s control. As of March 31, 2018 , KREF determined that the SNVPS was neither currently redeemable nor was it probable that the SNVPS would become redeemable, and did not adjust its value as a result. KREF presents the SNVPS as “ Temporary Equity — Redeemable preferred stock ” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (Note 7 ). Income Recognition Interest Income — Loans where management expects to collect all contractually required principal and interest payments are considered performing loans. KREF accrues interest income on performing loans based on the outstanding principal amount and contractual terms of the loan. Interest income also includes origination fees and direct loan origination costs for loans that KREF originates, but where management did not elect the fair value option, as a yield adjustment using the interest method over the loan term, or on a straight line basis when it approximates the interest method. KREF expenses origination fees and direct loan origination costs for loans acquired, but not originated, by KREF as well as loans for which management elected the fair value option, as incurred. Realized Gain (Loss) on Sale of Investments — KREF recognizes the excess, or deficiency, of net proceeds received, less the net carrying value of such investments, as realized gains or losses, respectively. KREF reverses cumulative, unrealized gains or losses previously reported in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income with respect to the investment sold at the time of sale. Expense Recognition Loan Impairment — KREF holds commercial mortgage loans for both investment and sale, which management periodically evaluates for impairment. Commercial Mortgage Loans, Held-For-Investment — For each loan in KREF 's portfolio, management performs a quarterly evaluation of impairment indicators of loans classified as held‑for‑investment using applicable loan, property, market and sponsor information obtained from borrowers, loan servicers and local market participants. Such indicators may include the net present value of the underlying collateral, property operating cash flows, the sponsor’s financial wherewithal and competency in managing the property, macroeconomic trends, and property submarket-specific economic factors. The evaluation of these indicators of impairment requires significant judgment by management to determine whether failure to collect contractual amounts is probable. If management deems that it is probable that KREF will be unable to collect all amounts owed according to the contractual terms of a loan, impairment of that loan is indicated. If management considers a loan to be impaired, management establishes an allowance for loan losses, through a valuation provision in earnings, which reduces the carrying value of the loan to the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s contractual effective rate or the fair value of the collateral, if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Significant judgment is required in determining impairment and in estimating the resulting loss allowance, and actual losses, if any, could materially differ from those estimates. Management considers loans to be past due when a monthly payment is due and unpaid for 60 days or more. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status and considered non-performing when full payment of principal and interest is in doubt, which generally occurs when principal or interest is 120 days or more past due unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection. Management may return a loan to accrual status when repayment of principal and interest is reasonably assured under the terms of the restructured loan. As of March 31, 2018 , KREF did not hold any loans that management placed on nonaccrual status or otherwise considered past due. In addition to reviewing commercial mortgage loans held-for-investment for impairment, the Manager evaluates KREF 's commercial mortgage loans to determine if an allowance for loan loss should be established. In conjunction with this review, the Manager assesses the risk factors of each loan, and assigns a risk rating based on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, underlying real estate performance and asset value, values of comparable properties, durability and quality of property cash flows, sponsor experience and financial wherewithal, and the existence of a risk-mitigating loan structure. Additional key considerations include loan-to-value ratios, debt service coverage ratios, loan structure, real estate and credit market dynamics, and risk of default or principal loss. Based on a five-point scale, KREF 's loans are rated "1" through "5," from less risk to greater risk, which ratings are defined as follows: 1—Very Low Risk—The underlying property performance has surpassed underwritten expectations, and the sponsor’s business plan is generally complete. The property demonstrates stabilized occupancy and/or rental rates resulting in strong current cash flow and/or a very low loan-to-value ratio (<65%). At the level of performance, it is very likely that the underlying loan can be refinanced easily in the period’s prevailing capital market conditions. 2—Low Risk—The underlying property performance has matched or exceeded underwritten expectations, and the sponsor’s business plan may be ahead of schedule or has achieved some or many of the major milestones from a risk mitigation perspective. The property has achieved improving occupancy at market rents, resulting in sufficient current cash flow and/or a low loan-to-value ratio (65%-70%). Operating trends are favorable, and the underlying loan can be refinanced in today’s prevailing capital market conditions. The sponsor/manager is well capitalized or has demonstrated a history of success in owning or operating similar real estate. 3—Average Risk—The underlying property performance is in-line with underwritten expectations, or the sponsor may be in the early stages of executing its business plan. Current cash flow supports debt service payments, or there is an ample interest reserve or loan structure in place to provide the sponsor time to execute the value-im |

Loan Risk Ratings — As further described in Note 2 , our Manager evaluates KREF 's commercial mortgage loan portfolio on a quarterly basis. In conjunction with the quarterly commercial mortgage loan portfolio review, KREF 's Manager assesses the risk factors of each loan, and assigns a risk rating based on a variety of factors. Loans are rated “1” (very low risk) through “5” Impaired/Loss Likely), which ratings are defined in Note 2 . The following table allocates the principal balance and net book value of the loan portfolio based on KREF 's internal risk ratings: March 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 Risk Rating Number of Loans Net Book Value Total Loan Exposure (A) Risk Rating Number of Loans Net Book Value Total Loan Exposure (A) 1 — $ — $ — 1 — $ — $ — 2 4 161,659 162,570 2 4 155,092 156,123 3 27 2,095,105 2,172,308 3 23 1,717,000 1,792,022 4 1 16,426 16,500 4 1 16,418 16,500 5 — — — 5 — — — 32 $ 2,273,190 $ 2,351,378 28 $ 1,888,510 $ 1,964,645 (A) In certain instances, we finance our loans through the non-recourse sale of a senior interest that is not included in our consolidated financial statements.

(B) Average weighted by the outstanding face amount of borrowings. (C) Average based on the fully extended loan maturity, weighted by the outstanding face amount of the collateral. (D) Borrowings under these repurchase agreements are collateralized by senior loans, held-for-investment, and bear interest equal to the sum of (i) a floating rate index, equal to one-month LIBOR, subject to certain floors of not less than zero, or an index approximating LIBOR, and (ii) a margin, based on the collateral. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , the percentage of the outstanding face amount of the collateral sold and not borrowed under these repurchase agreements, or average "haircut" weighted by outstanding face amount of collateral, was 32.0% and 32.9% , respectively (or 26.4% and 27.3% , respectively, if KREF had borrowed the maximum amount approved by its repurchase agreement counterparties as of such dates). (E) The current stated maturity of the facility is April 2020 , which does not reflect two , twelve -month facility term extensions available to KREF , which is contingent upon certain covenants and thresholds. As of March 31, 2018 , the collateral-based margin was between 1.75% and 2.15% . (F) In November 2017, KREF and Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. (" Morgan Stanley ") amended and restated the master repurchase agreement to extend the facility maturity date and to increase the maximum facility size from $500.0 million to $600.0 million and, subject to customary conditions, permits KREF to request the facility be further increased to $750.0 million . The current stated maturity of the facility is December 2020 , which does not reflect one , twelve -month facility term extension available to KREF , which is contingent upon certain covenants and thresholds and, even if such covenants and thresholds are satisfied, is at the sole discretion of Morgan Stanley . As of March 31, 2018 , the collateral-based margin was between 2.00% and 2.45% . (G) In November 2017, KREF and Goldman Sachs Bank USA (" Goldman Sachs ") amended and restated the master repurchase agreement to extend the facility maturity date and to increase the maximum facility size from $250.0 million to $400.0 million . The amended and restated facility includes a $250.0 million term facility with a maturity date of October 2020 and a $150.0 million swingline facility with a revolving period of one year , and a three -year term on a per-asset basis as those assets are pledged to the facility. As of March 31, 2018 , the carrying value excluded $1.1 million unamortized debt issuance costs presented as " — Other assets " in KREF 's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2018 , the collateral-based margin was 2.00% . (H) In May 2017, KREF entered into a $75.0 million corporate secured revolving credit facility administered by Barclays Bank PLC (" Barclays "). The current stated maturity of the facility is May 2019 , which does not reflect one , twelve-month facility term extension available to KREF at the discretion of Barclays . Borrowings under the facility bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the sum of (i) a floating rate index and (ii) a fixed margin. Amounts borrowed under this facility are 100% recourse to KREF . As of March 31, 2018 , the carrying value excluded $1.1 million unamortized debt issuance costs presented as " — Other assets " in KREF 's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. (I) Facility amounts represent CMBS issued by five trusts that KREF consolidates, but that are not beneficially owned by KREF 's stockholders. The facility and collateral carrying amounts included $18.7 million accrued interest payable and $19.8 million accrued interest receivable as of March 31, 2018 . As of December 31, 2017 , the facility and collateral carrying amounts included $18.7 million accrued interest payable and $19.7 million accrued interest receivable. The final stated maturity date represents the rated final distribution date of CMBS issued by trusts that KREF consolidates, but that are not beneficially owned by KREF 's stockholders. Refer to Note 6 for additional discussion of KREF 's VIE assets and liabilities. See Note 13 for activities subsequent to March 31, 2018 . The preceding table excludes loan participations sold (Note 5 ). As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , KREF had outstanding repurchase agreements where the amount at risk with any individual counterparty, or group of related counterparties, exceeded 10.0% of KREF ’s stockholders' equity. The amount at risk under repurchase agreements is the net counterparty exposure, defined as the excess of the carrying amount (or market value, if higher than the carrying amount) of the assets sold under agreement to repurchase, including accrued interest plus any cash or other assets on deposit to secure the repurchase obligation, over the amount of the repurchase liability, adjusted for accrued interest. The following table summarizes certain characteristics of KREF 's repurchase agreements where the amount at risk with any individual counterparty, or group of related counterparties, exceeded 10.0% of KREF ’s stockholders' equity as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 : Outstanding Face Amount Net Counterparty Exposure Percent of Stockholders' Equity Weighted Average Life (Years) (A) March 31, 2018 Wells Fargo $ 597,000 $ 247,062 23.5 % 1.9 Morgan Stanley 554,347 271,963 25.9 1.9 Total / Weighted Average $ 1,151,347 $ 519,025 49.4 % 1.9 December 31, 2017 Wells Fargo $ 485,250 $ 203,303 19.2 % 1.6 Morgan Stanley 423,347 251,463 23.7 2.0 Total / Weighted Average $ 908,597 $ 454,766 42.9 % 1.8 (A) Average weighted by the outstanding face amount of borrowings under the secured financing agreement. Debt obligations included in the tables above are obligations of KREF ’s consolidated subsidiaries, which own the related collateral, and such collateral is generally not available to other creditors of KREF . In particular, holders of CMBS , including KREF , are unable to directly own the mortgages, properties or other collateral held by the issuing trusts that KREF present as " Assets — Commercial mortgage loans held in variable interest entities, at fair value " in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. While KREF is generally not required to post margin under repurchase agreement terms for changes in general capital market conditions such as changes in credit spreads or interest rates, KREF may be required to post margin for changes in conditions specific to loans that serve as collateral for those repurchase agreements. Such changes may include declines in the appraised value of property that secures a loan or a negative change in the borrower's ability or willingness to repay a loan. To the extent that KREF is required to post margin, KREF 's liquidity could be significantly impacted. Both KREF and its lenders work cooperatively to monitor the performance of the properties and operations related to KREF 's loan investments to mitigate investment-specific credit risks. Additionally, KREF incorporates terms in the loans it originates to further mitigate risks related to loan nonperformance. Activity — For the three months ended March 31, 2018 , the activity related to the carrying value of KREF ’s secured financing agreements and other consolidated debt obligations were as follows: Secured Financing Agreements, Net Variable Interest Entity Liabilities, at Fair Value Total Balance as of December 31, 2017 $ 964,800 $ 5,256,926 $ 6,221,726 Principal borrowings 317,750 — 317,750 Principal repayments — (11,540 ) (11,540 ) Deferred debt issuance costs (327 ) — (327 ) Amortization of deferred debt issuance costs 359 — 359 Fair value adjustment — (88,528 ) (88,528 ) Other (A) — 572 572 Balance as of March 31, 2018 $ 1,282,582 $ 5,157,430 $ 6,440,012 (A) Amounts principally consist of changes in accrued interest payable and cost adjustments.

Restrictions placed on the transfer and ownership of shares relate to KREF 's REIT — KREF issued the following shares of common stock at $20.00 per share, less applicable transaction costs, except as otherwise indicated: Pricing Date Shares Issued Net Proceeds As of December 31, 2015 13,636,416 $ 272,728 February 2016 2,000,000 40,000 May 2016 3,000,138 57,130 June 2016 (A) 21,838 — August 2016 5,500,000 109,875 As of December 31, 2016 24,158,392 479,733 February 2017 7,386,208 147,662 April 2017 10,379,738 207,595 May 2017- Initial Public Offering 11,787,500 219,356 As of December 31, 2017 53,711,838 $ 1,054,346 (A) KREF did not receive any proceeds with respect to 21,838 shares of common stock issued to certain current and former employees of, and non-employee consultants to, KKR and third-party investors in the private placement completed in March 2016, in accordance with KREF 's Stockholders Agreement dated as of March 29, 2016 KREF obtained $277.4 million of capital commitments in connection with the completion of a private placement priced at $20.00 per share. Of these capital commitments, $190.1 million consisted of approximately $178.4 million from third parties and approximately $11.8 million from certain current and former employees of, and non-employee consultants to, KKR . KKR committed a total of $400.0 million and third parties committed a total of $248.0 million subsequent to the private placement completion. In connection with the completion of the private placement, KREF formed an advisory board consisting of certain third-party investors. The advisory board possessed certain protective approval rights over KREF 's activities outside its ordinary course of business, including certain business combinations and equity issuances. The advisory board dissolved upon KREF 's public listing on May 5, 2017. In February 2017 and April 2017, KREF called a portion of capital from investors in the private placements closed during the year ended December 31, 2016 and issued 7,386,208 and 10,379,738 common shares, at $20.00 per share, for net proceeds of $147.7 million and $207.6 million , respectively. In connection with the capital commitments described above, third-party investors and certain current and former employees of, and non-employee consultants to, KKR were allocated non-voting limited liability company interests of the Manager . For each $100.0 million shares of KREF ’s common stock acquired by investors through the private placement, the investors were allocated non-voting limited liability company interests, representing 6.67% of the Manager ’s then-outstanding total limited liability company interests. Each investor was allocated its pro rata share of the non-voting limited liability company interests of the Manager based on the investor’s shares of KREF ’s common stock. In May 2017, KREF completed its initial public offering of 11,787,500 shares of its common stock at a price to the public of $20.50 per share, which included 1,537,500 shares of common stock issued in connection with the underwriters' exercise in full of their option to purchase additional shares. The value of KREF 's common stock prior to its listing on the New York Stock Exchange was based upon its equity value using a combination of net asset value (market) and discounted cash flow (income) approaches. As of March 31, 2018 , KKR beneficially owned 23,758,616 shares of KREF 's common stock, of which 3,758,616 shares were held by KKR on behalf of a third-party investor (Note 1 ). During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, no common stock was issued related to the vesting of restricted stock units. Upon any payment of shares as a result of restricted stock unit vesting, the related tax withholding obligation will generally be satisfied by the Company, reducing the number of shares to be delivered by a number of shares necessary to satisfy the related applicable tax withholding obligation. Share Repurchase Program — KREF adopted a program to repurchase in the open market up to $100.0 million in shares of KREF 's common stock over the 12 month period commencing in June 2017. Of this amount, a total of $50.0 million is covered by a pre-set trading plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act (the "10b5-1 Plan"), which provides for repurchases of KREF 's common stock when the market price per share of common stock is below book value per share (calculated in accordance with GAAP), with the remaining $50.0 million available at any time during the repurchase period. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 , KREF repurchased 609,865 shares of common stock under the 10b5-1 Plan at an average price per share of $19.54 for a total of $11.9 million . As of March 31, 2018 , $37.6 million remained available for repurchases under this 10b5-1 Plan. Of the 53,711,838 common shares KREF issued, there were 53,075,575 common shares outstanding as of March 31, 2018 net of 636,263 common shares repurchased. Dividends — During the three months ended March 31, 2018 , KREF 's board of directors declared the following dividends on shares of its common stock and special voting preferred stock: Amount Declaration Date Record Date Payment Date Per Share Total March 12, 2018 March 29, 2018 April 13, 2018 0.40 21,230 $ 21,230 Preferred Stock — On January 23, 2015, KREF issued 125 shares of Series A cumulative, non-voting preferred stock with a par value of $0.01 per share and a stated value of $1,000.00 per share ("Series A Preferred Stock ") that are senior to common stock. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative distributions of 12.5% of the stated value per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on or before June 30 and December 31 of each year, but are unable to convert Series A Preferred Stock into common stock or vote on matters brought to KREF 's stockholders. In May 2017, KREF redeemed all 125 issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock for $0.1 million , representing the sum of $1,000.00 per share and all accrued and unpaid dividends. Special Voting Preferred Stock — In March 2016, KREF issued one share of special voting preferred stock to KKR Fund Holdings L.P. (" KKR Fund Holdings ") for $20.00 per share, which KKR Fund Holdings transferred to its subsidiary, KKR REFT Asset Holdings LLC. The holder of the special voting preferred stock has special voting rights related to the election of members to KREF 's board of directors until KKR and its affiliates cease to own at least 25.0% of KREF 's issued and outstanding common stock. As of March 31, 2018 , KKR and its affiliates beneficially owned 23,758,616 shares of KREF's common stock representing 45% of KREF’s issued and outstanding common stock. Special Non-Voting Preferred Stock — In connection with KREF 's existing investors’ subscription for shares of KREF 's common stock in the private placements prior to the initial public offering of KREF 's equity on May 5, 2017, those investors were also allocated a class of non-voting limited liability company interest in the Manager (" Non-Voting Manager Units "). In February 2017, KREF issued an investor one share of SNVPS , at $0.01 per share, in lieu of that investor receiving Non-Voting Manager Units to facilitate compliance by the investor with regulatory requirements applicable to it. The corresponding Non-Voting Manager Units are held by a TRS of KREF . All distributions received by that subsidiary from these Non-Voting Manager Units are passed through to the investor as preferred distributions on its SNVPS , less applicable taxes and withholdings. Except for the Non-Voting Manager Units , an indirect subsidiary of KKR owns and controls the limited liability company interests of the Manager . Dividends on the SNVPS are payable quarterly, and will accrue whether or not KREF has earnings, there are assets legally available for the payment of those dividends or those dividends have been declared. Any dividend payment made on the SNVPS shall first be credited against the earliest accumulated but unpaid dividend due with respect to the SNVPS . Upon redemption of the SNVPS or liquidation of KREF , the holder of the SNVPS is entitled to payment of $0.01 per share, together with any accumulated but unpaid preferred distributions, before any holder of junior security interests, which includes KREF 's common stock. As KREF does not control the circumstances under which the holder of the SNVPS may redeem its interests, management considers the SNVPS as temporary equity (Note 2 ). KREF will redeem the SNVPS at the option of the holder. Upon redemption, KREF will pay a price in cash equal to $0.01 per share of the SNVPS , together with any accumulated but unpaid preferred distributions, and the SNVPS will be canceled automatically and cease to be outstanding. Redeemable noncontrolling interests represent a 5.0% third-party interest in a joint venture consolidated as a VIE that holds a portion of KREF ’s investments in certain commercial mezzanine loans (Note 3 ). The redeemable noncontrolling interests issued by the joint venture are subject to certain restrictions and require KREF to transfer assets or issue equity to satisfy the redemption. As KREF does not control the circumstances under which the noncontrolling interests may redeem their interests, management considers these redeemable noncontrolling interests as temporary equity (Note 2 ).

However, as of March 31, 2018, the Manager, certain individuals employed by the Manager and affiliates of the Manager, and certain members of KREF 's board of directors were compensated, in part, through the issuance of stock-based awards. As of March 31, 2018 , KREF had restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards outstanding under the KKR Real Estate Finance Trust Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan that was adopted on February 12, 2016 and amended and restated on November 17, 2016 (the " Incentive Plan ") to certain members of KREF ’s board of directors and employees of the Manager or its affiliates, none of whom are KREF employees. RSUs awarded to employees of the Manager or its affiliates, generally vest over three consecutive one -year periods and awards to certain members of KREF's board of directors vest over a one-year period, pursuant to the terms of the respective award agreements and the terms of the Incentive Plan. RSU awards are not entitled to dividends until KREF issues shares of its common stock, which are issuable on a one-to-one basis upon the RSU award vesting. The following table summarizes the activity in the Company’s outstanding RSUs and the weighted-average grant date fair value per RSU: Restricted Stock Units Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per RSU (A) Unvested as of December 31, 2017 154,878 $ 18.61 Granted — — Vested — — Forfeited/ cancelled (2,500 ) n.a. Unvested as of March 31,2018 152,378 $ 18.27 (A) The grant-date fair value is based upon the last sale price of KREF’s common stock at the date of grant, reduced by the present value of dividends expected prior to RSU vesting. These RSUs begin to vest on April 1, 2018 and each year thereafter. KREF expects RSUs outstanding to vest during the following years: Year Restricted Stock Units 2018 54,878 2019 50,000 2020 50,000 Total 154,878 KREF recognizes the compensation cost of RSUs awarded to employees of the Manager, or one or more of its affiliates, on a straight-line basis over the awards’ term at the then-current fair value at each reporting date. KREF amortizes the grant-date fair value of RSUs awarded to certain members of its board of directors on a straight-line basis over the awards’ term. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized $1.0 million and $0.0 million , respectively, of stock-based compensation expense included in “General and administrative” expense in the consolidated statements of income. As of March 31, 2018, there was $1.7 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements based on the closing price of our common stock of $20.06 on March 29, 2018. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2 years. Refer to Note 10 |

For purposes of calculating incentive compensation, both adjusted equity and adjusted earnings exclude the effects of equity issued by KREF and its subsidiaries that provides for fixed distributions or other debt characteristics. There were no incentive fees accrued to the Manager during the three months ended March 31, 2018 . KREF is also required to reimburse the Manager or its affiliates for documented costs and expenses incurred by it and its affiliates on behalf of KREF except those specifically required to be borne by the Manager under the Management Agreement. The Manager is responsible for, and KREF does not reimburse the Manager or its affiliates for, the expenses related to investment personnel of the Manager and its affiliates who provide services to KREF . However, KREF does reimburse the Manager for KREF 's allocable share of compensation paid to certain of the Manager ’s non-investment personnel, based on the percentage of time devoted by such personnel to KREF 's affairs. Incentive Plan — KREF 's compensation committee or board of directors may administer the Incentive Plan , which provides for awards of stock options; stock appreciation rights ; restricted stock; RSUs; limited partnership interests of KKR Real Estate Finance Holdings L.P.

(B) Represents the average of the input value, weighted by the unpaid principal balance of the financial instrument. (C) KREF carries a $18.1 million investment in an aggregator vehicle alongside RECOP (Note 6 ) at its pro rata share of the aggregator's net asset value, which management believes approximates fair value. (D) Management measures the fair value of " Commercial mortgage loans held in variable interest entities, at fair value " using the fair value of the CMBS trust liabilities. The Level 3 inputs presented in the table above reflect the inputs used to value the CMBS trust liabilities, including the CMBS beneficially owned by KREF stockholders eliminated in consolidation of the CMBS trusts. Valuation Methodologies Commercial Mortgage Loans and Participation Sold - Management generally considers KREF's commercial mortgage loans Level 3 assets in the fair value hierarchy as such assets are illiquid, structured investments that are specific to the property and its operating performance. These loans are valued using a discounted cash flow model using discount rates derived from observable market data applied to the capital structure of the respective sponsor and estimated property value. On a quarterly basis, management engages an independent valuation firm to express an opinion on the fair value of each loan categorized as a Level 3 asset in the form of a range. Management selects a value within the range provided by the independent valuation firm to assess the reasonableness of the fair value as determined by management. In the event that management's estimate of fair value differs from the opinion of fair value provided by the independent valuation firm, KREF ultimately relies solely upon the valuation prepared by the investment personnel of the Manager. Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities — As of March 31, 2018 , management categorized CMBS investments as Level 3 assets and liabilities in the fair value hierarchy and obtained prices from an independent valuation firm, which uses a discounted cash flow model, to value each CMBS . The key input is the expected yield of each CMBS using both observable and unobservable factors, which may include recently offered or completed trades and published yields of similar securities, security-specific characteristics (e.g. securities ratings issued by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations, credit support by other subordinate securities issued by the CMBS and coupon type) and other characteristics. Management performs quarterly reviews of the inputs received from the independent valuation firm based on consideration given to a number of observable market data points including, but not limited to, trading activity in the marketplace of like-kind securities, benchmark security evaluations and bid list results from various sources. If prices received from the independent valuation firm are inconsistent with values determined in connection with management's independent review, management makes inquiries to the independent valuation firm about the prices received and related methods. In the event management determines the price obtained from an independent valuation firm to be unreliable or an inadequate representation of the fair value of the CMBS (based on consideration given to the observable market data points detailed above), management then compiles evidence independently and presents the independent valuation firm with such evidence supporting a different value. As a result, the independent valuation firm may revise their price accordingly. However, if management continues to disagree with the price from the independent valuation firm, in light of evidence presented that management compiled independently and believes to be compelling, management considers the quotation unreliable or an inadequate representation of the fair value of the CMBS . In the event that the quotation from the independent valuation firm is not available or determined to be unreliable or an inadequate representation of the fair value of the CMBS (based on the procedures detailed above), valuations are prepared using inputs based on non-binding broker quotes obtained from independent, well-known, major financial brokers that are CMBS market makers. In validating any non-binding broker quote used in this circumstance, management compares the non-binding quote to the observable market data points at such time and used to validate prices received from the independent valuation firm in addition to understanding the valuation methodologies used by the market makers. These market participants utilize a similar methodology as the independent valuation firm to value each CMBS , with the key input of expected yield determined independently based on both observable and unobservable factors (as described above). To avoid reliance on any single broker-dealer, management receives a minimum of two non-binding quotes, of which the average is used. The fair values of the CMBS not beneficially owned by KREF stockholders neither impact the net assets of KREF nor the net income attributable to KREF 's stockholders. Secured Financing Agreements — Management considers KREF 's repurchase facilities Level 3 liabilities in the fair value hierarchy as such liabilities represent borrowings on illiquid collateral with terms specific to each borrower. Given the short-to-moderate term of the floating rate facilities, management generally expects the fair value of KREF 's repurchase facilities to approximate their outstanding principal balances. On a quarterly basis, management engages an independent valuation firm to express an opinion on the fair value of KREF 's repurchase facilities. The independent valuation firm employs a market-based methodology to compare the pricing of KREF 's financing agreements with other similar financing agreements entered into by other mortgage REIT and recent financing transactions. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis Certain assets not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of impairment, are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. For commercial mortgage loans held-for-sale, KREF applies the lower of cost or fair value accounting and may be required, from time to time, to record a nonrecurring fair value adjustment. For commercial mortgage loans held-for-investment and preferred interest in joint venture held-to-maturity, KREF applies the amortized cost method of accounting, but may be required, from time to time, to record a nonrecurring fair value adjustment in the form of a valuation provision or impairment. KREF did not report any significant financial assets or liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of March 31, 2018 or December 31, 2017 . Assets and Liabilities for Which Fair Value is Only Disclosed KREF does not carry its secured financing agreements at fair value as management did not elect the fair value option for these liabilities. As of March 31, 2018 , the fair value of KREF |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | s elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2014. A REIT is generally not subject to U.S. federal and state income tax on that portion of its income that is distributed to stockholders if it distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gains. A REIT will also be subject to a nondeductible excise tax to the extent certain percentages of its taxable income are not distributed within specified dates. KREF expects to distribute 100% of its net taxable income for the foreseeable future, while retaining sufficient capital to support its ongoing needs. KREF consolidates subsidiaries that incur U.S. federal, state and local income taxes, based on the tax jurisdiction in which each subsidiary operates. During each of the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 , KREF recorded a current income tax provision of $0.2 million and $0.1 million , respectively, related to operations of its taxable REIT subsidiaries and various other state and local taxes. There were no deferred tax assets or liabilities as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 . As of March 31, 2018 |

Accordingly, KREF realized $11.9 million in gain on the sale of such investments in the second quarter of 2018, out of which $5.4 million was unrealized in the quarter ended March 31, 2018 . Subsequent to the sale, KREF continues to hold CMBS with a fair value of $15.0 million as of March 31, 2018 , including a controlling beneficial interest in one CMBS trust. In addition, KREF has a $40.0 million commitment to invest in the aggregator vehicle alongside RECOP that invests in CMBS, of which $18.0 million was funded. Financing Activities In April 2018, KREF borrowed $25.0 million in proceeds under the Goldman Sachs master repurchase facility. Term Loan Financing Facility In April 2018, KREF entered into a term loan financing arrangement (“Term Loan Facility”) with third party lenders.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation — The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes of KREF are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (" GAAP ") for interim financial information and instructions to Form 10-Q. The condensed consolidated financial statements, including these notes, are unaudited and exclude some of the disclosures required in annual financial statements. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of KREF and its consolidated subsidiaries, and all intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of KREF ’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. The operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with KREF ’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2018 (the "Form 10-K"). |
Consolidation | Consolidation — KREF consolidates those entities for which (i) it controls significant operating, financial and investing decisions of the entity or (ii) management determines that KREF is the primary beneficiary of entities deemed to be variable interest entities (" VIE s"). Variable Interest Entities — VIE s are defined as entities in which equity investors do not have an interest with the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. A VIE is required to be consolidated only by its primary beneficiary, which is defined as the party that has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and that has the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could be potentially significant to the VIE (Note 6 ). To assess whether KREF has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE ’s economic performance, KREF considers all the facts and circumstances, including its role in establishing the VIE and its ongoing rights and responsibilities. This assessment includes, first, identifying the activities that most significantly impact the VIE ’s economic performance; and second, identifying which party, if any, has power to direct those activities. To assess whether KREF has the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE , KREF considers all of its economic interests and applies judgment in determining whether these interests, in the aggregate, are considered potentially significant to the VIE . CMBS — KREF consolidates those trusts that issue beneficial ownership interests in mortgage loans secured by commercial real estate (commonly known as CMBS ) when KREF holds a variable interest in, and management considers KREF to be the primary beneficiary of, those trusts. Management believes the performance of the assets that underlie CMBS issuances most significantly impacts the economic performance of the trust, and the primary beneficiary is generally the entity that conducts activities that most significantly impact the performance of the underlying assets. In particular, the most subordinate tranches of CMBS expose the holder to the greater variability of economic performance when compared to more senior tranches since the subordinate tranches absorb a disproportionately higher amount of the credit risk related to the underlying assets. Generally, a trust designates the most junior subordinate tranche outstanding as the controlling class, which entitles the holder of the controlling class to unilaterally appoint and remove the special servicer for the trust. The special servicer is responsible for the servicing and administration of delinquent and nonperforming loans as well as real estate owned (" REO ") properties held as collateral delivered on foreclosed loans. While the special servicer cannot prevent losses, its services to the trust are designed to mitigate credit losses to holders of the CMBS . For the trusts that KREF consolidates, KREF holds non-investment grade rated and unrated tranches that represent the most subordinated tranches of the CMBS issued by those trusts, which include the controlling class. As the holder of the most subordinate tranche, KREF is in a first loss position and has the right to receive benefits. As the holder of the controlling class, KREF has the ability to unilaterally appoint and remove the special servicer for the trust. In these cases, management considers KREF to be the primary beneficiary and consolidates the CMBS trusts. For VIE s in which management determines KREF is the primary beneficiary, all of the underlying assets, liabilities and equity of the trusts are recorded on KREF 's books, and the initial investment, along with any associated unrealized holding gains and losses, are eliminated in consolidation. Similarly, the interest income earned from these trusts is eliminated in consolidation. Management elected the fair value option for KREF 's initial and subsequent recognition of the assets and liabilities of KREF 's consolidated CMBS VIE s in order to provide users of the financial statements with better information regarding the effects of credit risk and other market factors on the CMBS beneficially held by KREF 's stockholders. Since the changes in fair value include the interest income and interest expense associated with these CMBS VIE s, management does not consider the separate presentation of the components of fair value changes to be relevant. Management has elected to present these items in aggregate as " Other Income — Change in net assets related to consolidated variable interest entities " in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income; the residual difference between the fair value of the trusts' assets and liabilities represents KREF 's beneficial interest in the CMBS VIE s. Management separately presents the assets and liabilities of KREF 's consolidated VIE s as individual line items on KREF 's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for entities in which the VIE s assets can only be used to settle the VIE ’s obligations. The liabilities of KREF 's consolidated VIE s consist solely of obligations to the CMBS holders of the consolidated trusts, excluding CMBS held by KREF as such interests are eliminated in consolidation, and the interest accrued thereon, presented as "Liabilities — Variable interest entity liabilities, at fair value ." The assets of KREF 's consolidated VIEs consist principally of commercial mortgage loans and the interest accrued thereon, and are likewise presented as a single line item entitled " Assets — Commercial mortgage loans held in variable interest entities, at fair value ." Assets of a CMBS trust, as a whole, can only be used to settle the obligations of the consolidated CMBS VIE . The assets of KREF 's CMBS VIE s are not individually accessible by, and obligations of the CMBS VIE s are not recourse to, the bondholders. REO assets generally represent a small percentage of the overall asset pool of a CMBS trust. In a new issue CMBS trust there are no REO assets, and no REO existed in KREF 's consolidated VIE assets as of March 31, 2018 . KREF derives the fair value of its Level 3 CMBS VIE assets from its Level 3 CMBS VIE liabilities, which management considers to possess more observable market value data than the CMBS VIE assets. See "— Fair Value — Valuation of Consolidated VIEs " for additional discussion regarding management's valuation of consolidated CMBS VIE s. Commercial Mezzanine Loan Joint Venture — KREF consolidates a joint venture that holds a portion of KREF 's investments in commercial mezzanine loans, and in which a third-party owns a 5.0% redeemable noncontrolling interest (Note 6 ). Management determined the joint venture to be a VIE as the third-party owners of the redeemable noncontrolling interest do not have substantive participating or kick-out rights. KREF owns 95.0% of the equity interests in the joint venture and participates in the profits and losses. Management considers KREF to be the primary beneficiary of the joint venture as KREF holds decision-making power over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the joint venture. Noncontrolling Interests — Noncontrolling interests represent the ownership interests in certain consolidated subsidiaries held by entities or persons other than KREF . Those noncontrolling interests that allow the holder to redeem before liquidation or termination of the entity that issued those interests are considered redeemable noncontrolling interests. The redeemable noncontrolling interests issued by subsidiaries of KREF are subject to certain restrictions and require KREF to transfer assets or issue equity to satisfy the redemption. As KREF does not control the circumstances under which the noncontrolling interests may redeem their interests, management considers these redeemable noncontrolling interests as temporary equity, presented as " Temporary Equity — Redeemable noncontrolling interests in equity of consolidated joint venture " in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and their share of " Net Income (Loss) " as " Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in Income (Loss) of Consolidated Joint Venture " in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. KREF recorded the redeemable noncontrolling interests at fair value upon issuance by subsidiaries of KREF , and accretes to the redemption values at each subsequent reporting period date if KREF determines the noncontrolling interests are redeemable or probable to become redeemable. As of March 31, 2018 , KREF determined that the redeemable noncontrolling interests were not currently redeemable or probable to become redeemable, and as a result did not adjust the value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests. Equity method investments, at fair value — Investments are accounted for under the equity method when KREF has significant influence over the operations of an investee, but KREF does not consolidate that investment. Equity method investments, for which management has not elected a fair value option, are initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for KREF 's share of net income or loss and cash contributions and distributions each period. Management determined that KREF 's investment in the Manager is an interest in a VIE as KREF did not have substantive participating or kick-out rights. KREF does not have the power to direct activities and the obligation to absorb losses of the Manager that could be significant to the Manager . KREF accounts for its investment in the Manager using the equity method since KREF is not the primary beneficiary of the Manager (Note 6 ). Management determined that its investment in an aggregator vehicle alongside KKR Real Estate Credit Opportunity Partners L.P. (" RECOP ") is an interest in a VIE , however KREF is not the primary beneficiary and does not have substantive participating or kick-out rights. Management elected the fair value option for KREF 's investment in RECOP . KREF records its share of net asset value in RECOP as “ Equity method investments, at fair value ” in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and its share of unrealized gains or losses in " Income from equity method investments " in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Note 6 |

Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates — The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management makes subjective estimates to project cash flows KREF |
Fair Value | Fair Value — GAAP requires the categorization of the fair value of financial instruments into three broad levels that form a hierarchy based on the transparency of inputs to the valuation. Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. Level 2 - Inputs are other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 - Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. KREF follows this hierarchy for its financial instruments. The classifications are based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation Process — The Manager reviews the valuation of Level 3 financial instruments as part of KKR 's quarterly process. As of March 31, 2018 , KKR’s valuation process for Level 3 measurements, as described below, subjected valuations to the review and oversight of various committees. KKR has a global valuation committee assisted by the asset class-specific valuation committees, including a real estate valuation committee that reviews and approves all preliminary Level 3 valuations for real estate assets, including the financial instruments held by KREF . The global valuation committee is responsible for coordinating and implementing KKR ’s valuation process to ensure consistency in the application of valuation principles across portfolio investments and between periods. All Level 3 valuations are also subject to approval by the global valuation committee. Valuation of Consolidated VIEs — Management categorizes the financial assets and liabilities of the CMBS trusts that KREF consolidates as Level 3 assets and liabilities in the fair value hierarchy and has elected the fair value option for financial assets and liabilities of each CMBS trust. Management has adopted the measurement alternative included in Accounting Standards Update (" ASU ") No. 2014-13, Measuring the Financial Assets and the Financial Liabilities of a Consolidated Collateralized Financing Entity (" ASU 2014-13"). Pursuant to ASU 2014-13, management measures both the financial assets and financial liabilities of the CMBS trusts consolidated by KREF using the fair value of the financial liabilities, which management considers more observable than the fair value of the financial assets. As a result, KREF presents the CMBS issued by the consolidated trust, but not beneficially owned by KREF 's stockholders, as financial liabilities in KREF 's condensed consolidated financial statements, measured at their estimated fair value; KREF measures the financial assets as the total estimated fair value of the CMBS issued by the consolidated trust, regardless of whether such CMBS represent interests beneficially owned by KREF 's stockholders. Under the measurement alternative prescribed by ASU 2014-13, KREF 's " Net Income (Loss) " reflects the economic interests in the consolidated CMBS beneficially owned by KREF 's stockholders, presented as " Change in net assets related to consolidated variable interest entities " in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, which includes applicable (i) changes in the fair value of CMBS beneficially owned by KREF , (ii) interest and servicing fees earned from the CMBS trust and (iii) other residual returns or losses of the CMBS trust, if any (Note 6 ). Management categorizes the commercial mezzanine loans held by separate joint ventures, VIE s consolidated by KREF as primary beneficiary, as Level 3 assets in the fair value hierarchy as such assets are illiquid, structured instruments that are specific to the properties and their corresponding operating performance (Note 11 ). Other Valuation Matters — For Level 3 financial assets originated, or otherwise acquired, and financial liabilities assumed during the calendar month immediately preceding a quarter end that were conducted in an orderly transaction with an unrelated party, management generally believes that the transaction price provides the most observable indication of fair value given the illiquid nature of these financial instruments, unless management is aware of any circumstances that may cause a material change in the fair value through the remainder of the reporting period. For instance, significant changes to the underlying property or its planned operations may cause material changes in the fair value of commercial mortgage loans acquired, or originated, by KREF . KREF ’s determination of fair value is based upon the best information available for a given circumstance and may incorporate assumptions that are management’s best estimates after consideration of a variety of internal and external factors. When an independent valuation firm expresses an opinion on the fair value of a financial instrument in the form of a range, management selects a value within the range provided by the independent valuation firm, generally the midpoint, to assess the reasonableness of management’s estimated fair value for that financial instrument. Commercial Mortgage Loans and Participation Sold - Management generally considers KREF's commercial mortgage loans Level 3 assets in the fair value hierarchy as such assets are illiquid, structured investments that are specific to the property and its operating performance. These loans are valued using a discounted cash flow model using discount rates derived from observable market data applied to the capital structure of the respective sponsor and estimated property value. On a quarterly basis, management engages an independent valuation firm to express an opinion on the fair value of each loan categorized as a Level 3 asset in the form of a range. Management selects a value within the range provided by the independent valuation firm to assess the reasonableness of the fair value as determined by management. In the event that management's estimate of fair value differs from the opinion of fair value provided by the independent valuation firm, KREF ultimately relies solely upon the valuation prepared by the investment personnel of the Manager. Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities — As of March 31, 2018 , management categorized CMBS investments as Level 3 assets and liabilities in the fair value hierarchy and obtained prices from an independent valuation firm, which uses a discounted cash flow model, to value each CMBS . The key input is the expected yield of each CMBS using both observable and unobservable factors, which may include recently offered or completed trades and published yields of similar securities, security-specific characteristics (e.g. securities ratings issued by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations, credit support by other subordinate securities issued by the CMBS and coupon type) and other characteristics. Management performs quarterly reviews of the inputs received from the independent valuation firm based on consideration given to a number of observable market data points including, but not limited to, trading activity in the marketplace of like-kind securities, benchmark security evaluations and bid list results from various sources. If prices received from the independent valuation firm are inconsistent with values determined in connection with management's independent review, management makes inquiries to the independent valuation firm about the prices received and related methods. In the event management determines the price obtained from an independent valuation firm to be unreliable or an inadequate representation of the fair value of the CMBS (based on consideration given to the observable market data points detailed above), management then compiles evidence independently and presents the independent valuation firm with such evidence supporting a different value. As a result, the independent valuation firm may revise their price accordingly. However, if management continues to disagree with the price from the independent valuation firm, in light of evidence presented that management compiled independently and believes to be compelling, management considers the quotation unreliable or an inadequate representation of the fair value of the CMBS . In the event that the quotation from the independent valuation firm is not available or determined to be unreliable or an inadequate representation of the fair value of the CMBS (based on the procedures detailed above), valuations are prepared using inputs based on non-binding broker quotes obtained from independent, well-known, major financial brokers that are CMBS market makers. In validating any non-binding broker quote used in this circumstance, management compares the non-binding quote to the observable market data points at such time and used to validate prices received from the independent valuation firm in addition to understanding the valuation methodologies used by the market makers. These market participants utilize a similar methodology as the independent valuation firm to value each CMBS , with the key input of expected yield determined independently based on both observable and unobservable factors (as described above). To avoid reliance on any single broker-dealer, management receives a minimum of two non-binding quotes, of which the average is used. The fair values of the CMBS not beneficially owned by KREF stockholders neither impact the net assets of KREF nor the net income attributable to KREF 's stockholders. Secured Financing Agreements — Management considers KREF 's repurchase facilities Level 3 liabilities in the fair value hierarchy as such liabilities represent borrowings on illiquid collateral with terms specific to each borrower. Given the short-to-moderate term of the floating rate facilities, management generally expects the fair value of KREF 's repurchase facilities to approximate their outstanding principal balances. On a quarterly basis, management engages an independent valuation firm to express an opinion on the fair value of KREF 's repurchase facilities. The independent valuation firm employs a market-based methodology to compare the pricing of KREF 's financing agreements with other similar financing agreements entered into by other mortgage REIT |
Sale of Financial Assets and Financing Agreements | Sales of Financial Assets and Financing Agreements — KREF will, from time to time, sell loans, securities and other assets as well as finance assets in the form of secured borrowings. In each case, management evaluates whether the transaction constitutes a sale through legal isolation of the transferred financial asset from KREF , the ability of the transferee to pledge or exchange the transferred asset without constraint and the transfer of control of the transferred asset. For transfers that constitute sales, KREF (i) recognizes the financial assets it retains and liabilities it has incurred, if any, (ii) derecognizes the financial assets it has sold, and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished and (iii) recognizes a realized gain, or loss, based upon the excess, or deficient, proceeds received over the carrying value of the transferred asset.

Commercial Mortgage Loans Held-For-Investment and Provision for Loan Losses | Commercial Mortgage Loans Held‑For‑Investment and Provision for Loan Losses — KREF recognizes its investments in commercial mortgage loans based on management's intent, and KREF 's ability, to hold those investments through their contractual maturity. Management classifies those loans that management does not intend to sell in the foreseeable future, and KREF is able to hold until maturity, as held-for-investment. Loans that are held‑for‑investment are carried at their aggregate outstanding face amount, net of applicable (i) unamortized origination or acquisition premiums and discounts, (ii) unamortized deferred nonrefundable fees and other direct loan origination costs, (iii) allowance for loan losses and (iv) charge-offs or write-downs of impaired loans. If a loan is determined to be impaired, management writes down the loan through a charge to the provision for loan losses. See "— Expense Recognition — Loan Impairment — Commercial Mortgage Loans, Held-For-Investment " for additional discussion regarding management’s determination for loan losses. KREF applies the interest method to amortize origination or acquisition premiums and discounts and deferred nonrefundable fees or other direct loan origination costs, or on a straight line basis when it approximates the interest method. Loans for which management elects the fair value option at the time of origination, or acquisition, are carried at fair value on a recurring basis (Note 3 |
Commercial Mortgage Loans Held-For-Sale | Commercial Mortgage Loans Held‑For‑Sale — Loans that KREF originates, or acquires, which KREF |
Preferred Interest in Joint Venture Held-To-Maturity | Secured Financing Agreements — KREF 's secured financing agreements are treated as collateralized financing transactions and consist of floating rate, uncommitted repurchase facilities carried at their contractual amounts, net of unamortized debt issuance costs (Note 4 ). Loan Participations Sold, Net — In connection with its investments in senior loans, KREF finances certain investments through the syndication of non-recourse, or limited-recourse, loan participation to unaffiliated third parties. KREF ’s presentation of the senior loan and related financing involved in the syndication depends upon whether GAAP recognized the transaction as a sale, though such differences in presentation do not generally impact KREF ’s net stockholders’ equity or net income aside from timing differences in the recognition of certain transaction costs. To the extent that GAAP recognizes a sale resulting from the syndication, KREF derecognizes the participation in the senior loan that KREF sold and continue to carry the retained portion of the loan as an investment. While KREF does not generally expect to recognize a material gain or loss on these sales, KREF would realize a gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the net proceeds received from the third party purchaser and its carrying value of the loan participation that KREF sold at time of sale. Furthermore, KREF recognizes interest income only on the portion of the senior loan that it retains as a result of the sale. To the extent that GAAP does not recognize a sale resulting from the syndication, KREF does not derecognize the participation in the senior loan that it sold. Instead, KREF recognizes a loan participation sold liability in an amount equal to the principal of the loan participation syndicated less any unamortized discounts or financing costs resulting from the syndication. KREF continues to recognize interest income on the entire senior loan, including the interest attributable to the loan participation sold, as well as interest expense on the loan participation sold liability (Note 5 |
Special Non-Voting Preferred Stock | Special Non-Voting Preferred Stock (" SNVPS ") — Equity instruments that are redeemable for cash or other assets are classified as temporary equity if the instrument is redeemable, at the option of the holder, at a fixed or determinable price on a fixed or determinable date or upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer. Redeemable equity instruments are initially carried at the fair value of the equity instrument at the issuance date, which is subsequently adjusted at each balance sheet date if the instrument is currently redeemable or probable of becoming redeemable. The fair value of the instrument is adjusted to reflect the instrument’s redemption amount at each balance sheet date if KREF determines the SNVPS is redeemable or it is probable that the SNVPS will become redeemable. KREF accounted for the SNVPS as redeemable preferred stock since a third party holds a redemption option, exercisable after May 5, 2018, and such redemption is not solely within KREF ’s control. As of March 31, 2018 , KREF determined that the SNVPS was neither currently redeemable nor was it probable that the SNVPS would become redeemable, and did not adjust its value as a result. KREF presents the SNVPS as “ Temporary Equity — Redeemable preferred stock ” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (Note 7 |
Income Recognition | Income Recognition Interest Income — Loans where management expects to collect all contractually required principal and interest payments are considered performing loans. KREF accrues interest income on performing loans based on the outstanding principal amount and contractual terms of the loan. Interest income also includes origination fees and direct loan origination costs for loans that KREF originates, but where management did not elect the fair value option, as a yield adjustment using the interest method over the loan term, or on a straight line basis when it approximates the interest method. KREF expenses origination fees and direct loan origination costs for loans acquired, but not originated, by KREF as well as loans for which management elected the fair value option, as incurred.

Loan Impairment | 80%), and the loan covenants are unlikely to fully mitigate some risks. Interest payments may come from an interest reserve or sponsor equity. 5—Impaired/Loss Likely: A loan that has a very high risk of realizing a principal loss or has otherwise incurred a principal loss. The underlying property performance is significantly behind underwritten expectations, the sponsor has failed to execute its business plan and/or the sponsor has missed interest payments. The market fundamentals have deteriorated, or property performance has unexpectedly declined or valuations for comparable properties have declined meaningfully since loan origination. Current cash flow does not support debt service payments. With the current capital structure, the sponsor might not be incentivized to protect its equity without a restructuring of the loan. The loan exhibits a very high loan-to-value ratio (>90%), and default may be imminent." id="sjs-B16">Loan Impairment — KREF holds commercial mortgage loans for both investment and sale, which management periodically evaluates for impairment. Commercial Mortgage Loans, Held-For-Investment — For each loan in KREF 's portfolio, management performs a quarterly evaluation of impairment indicators of loans classified as held‑for‑investment using applicable loan, property, market and sponsor information obtained from borrowers, loan servicers and local market participants. Such indicators may include the net present value of the underlying collateral, property operating cash flows, the sponsor’s financial wherewithal and competency in managing the property, macroeconomic trends, and property submarket-specific economic factors. The evaluation of these indicators of impairment requires significant judgment by management to determine whether failure to collect contractual amounts is probable. If management deems that it is probable that KREF will be unable to collect all amounts owed according to the contractual terms of a loan, impairment of that loan is indicated. If management considers a loan to be impaired, management establishes an allowance for loan losses, through a valuation provision in earnings, which reduces the carrying value of the loan to the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s contractual effective rate or the fair value of the collateral, if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Significant judgment is required in determining impairment and in estimating the resulting loss allowance, and actual losses, if any, could materially differ from those estimates. Management considers loans to be past due when a monthly payment is due and unpaid for 60 days or more. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status and considered non-performing when full payment of principal and interest is in doubt, which generally occurs when principal or interest is 120 days or more past due unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection. Management may return a loan to accrual status when repayment of principal and interest is reasonably assured under the terms of the restructured loan. As of March 31, 2018 , KREF did not hold any loans that management placed on nonaccrual status or otherwise considered past due. In addition to reviewing commercial mortgage loans held-for-investment for impairment, the Manager evaluates KREF 's commercial mortgage loans to determine if an allowance for loan loss should be established. In conjunction with this review, the Manager assesses the risk factors of each loan, and assigns a risk rating based on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, underlying real estate performance and asset value, values of comparable properties, durability and quality of property cash flows, sponsor experience and financial wherewithal, and the existence of a risk-mitigating loan structure. Additional key considerations include loan-to-value ratios, debt service coverage ratios, loan structure, real estate and credit market dynamics, and risk of default or principal loss. Based on a five-point scale, KREF 's loans are rated "1" through "5," from less risk to greater risk, which ratings are defined as follows: 1—Very Low Risk—The underlying property performance has surpassed underwritten expectations, and the sponsor’s business plan is generally complete. The property demonstrates stabilized occupancy and/or rental rates resulting in strong current cash flow and/or a very low loan-to-value ratio (<65%). At the level of performance, it is very likely that the underlying loan can be refinanced easily in the period’s prevailing capital market conditions. 2—Low Risk—The underlying property performance has matched or exceeded underwritten expectations, and the sponsor’s business plan may be ahead of schedule or has achieved some or many of the major milestones from a risk mitigation perspective. The property has achieved improving occupancy at market rents, resulting in sufficient current cash flow and/or a low loan-to-value ratio (65%-70%). Operating trends are favorable, and the underlying loan can be refinanced in today’s prevailing capital market conditions. The sponsor/manager is well capitalized or has demonstrated a history of success in owning or operating similar real estate. 3—Average Risk—The underlying property performance is in-line with underwritten expectations, or the sponsor may be in the early stages of executing its business plan. Current cash flow supports debt service payments, or there is an ample interest reserve or loan structure in place to provide the sponsor time to execute the value-improvement plan. The property exhibits a moderate loan-to-value ratio (<75%). Loan structure appropriately mitigates additional risks. The sponsor/manager has a stable credit history and experience owning or operating similar real estate. 4—High Risk/Potential for Loss: A loan that has a risk of realizing a principal loss. The underlying property performance is behind underwritten expectations, or the sponsor is behind schedule in executing its business plan. The underlying market fundamentals may have deteriorated, comparable property valuations may be declining or property occupancy has been volatile, resulting in current cash flow that may not support debt service payments. The loan exhibits a high loan-to-value ratio (>80%), and the loan covenants are unlikely to fully mitigate some risks. Interest payments may come from an interest reserve or sponsor equity. 5—Impaired/Loss Likely: A loan that has a very high risk of realizing a principal loss or has otherwise incurred a principal loss. The underlying property performance is significantly behind underwritten expectations, the sponsor has failed to execute its business plan and/or the sponsor has missed interest payments. The market fundamentals have deteriorated, or property performance has unexpectedly declined or valuations for comparable properties have declined meaningfully since loan origination. Current cash flow does not support debt service payments. With the current capital structure, the sponsor might not be incentivized to protect its equity without a restructuring of the loan. The loan exhibits a very high loan-to-value ratio (>90%), and default may be imminent. |

KREF recognizes the compensation cost of stock-based awards to employees of the Manager or its affiliates on a straight-line basis over the awards’ term at the then-current fair value at each reporting date. KREF amortizes the grant-date fair value of stock-based awards to certain members of its board of directors on a straight-line basis over the awards’ term.

Basic EPS, or Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock, Basic , is calculated by dividing Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Stockholders by the Basic Weighted Average Number of Shares of Common Stock Outstanding, for the period. Diluted EPS , or Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock, Diluted, is calculated by starting with Basic EPS |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (" FASB ") issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenues from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under current guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. In adopting ASU 2014-09, entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified approach to adopt the guidance in the ASU . KREF has adopted the modified approach. The adoption of this ASU beginning the first quarter of 2018 did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10) - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities . The standard: (i) requires that certain equity investments be measured at fair value, and modifies the assessment of impairment for certain other equity investments, (ii) changes certain disclosure requirements related to the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost, (iii) changes certain disclosure requirements related to liabilities measured at fair value, (iv) requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset, and (v) clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. An entity should apply ASU No. 2016-01 by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-01 beginning the first quarter of 2018 did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718) . ASU 2016-09 requires all income tax effects of share-based payment awards to be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. It also allows an employer to repurchase more of an employee’s shares for tax withholding purposes than is permitted under current guidance without triggering liability accounting. Finally, the guidance allows a policy election to account for employee forfeitures as they occur. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. In 2017, KREF adopted this guidance and determined there was no material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses . The standard amends the existing credit loss model to reflect a reporting entity's current estimate of all expected credit losses and requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at a net amount expected to be collected through deduction of an allowance for credit losses from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s). ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for KREF in the first quarter of 2020. Early adoption is permitted beginning in the first quarter of 2019. While KREF is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-13 will have on KREF 's condensed consolidated financial statements, we expect that the adoption will result in an increased amount of provisions for potential loan losses as well as the recognition of such provisions earlier in the credit cycle. KREF currently does not have any provision for loan losses on the condensed consolidated |
