The Company has also made the accounting policy election to write off accrued interest receivables by reversing interest income when loans are placed on nonaccrual status, or 90 days or more past due, other than the COVID-19 forbearance-granted loans. The Company will continue to evaluate the COVID-19 forbearance-granted loans on an individual basis to determine if a reserve should be established on the collectability of the accrued interest and whether any loans should be placed on nonaccrual status at a future date. The following table presents the amortized cost basis in the loans held for investment as of September 30, 2020 and 2019, and the amount of accrued interest receivables written off by reversing interest income by portfolio segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands): September 30, 2020 September 30, 2019 Amortized Cost Interest Reversal Amortized Cost Interest Reversal Commercial - Purchase $ 293,886 $ 576 $ 272,344 $ 219 Commercial - Refinance 695,664 3,092 672,877 990 Residential 1-4 Unit - Purchase 282,212 724 243,972 210 Residential 1-4 Unit - Refinance 735,072 4,156 588,725 894 Total $ 2,006,834 $ 8,548 $ 1,777,918 $ 2,313 Any future payments received for these loans will be recognized on a cash basis.

The average recorded investment of individually evaluated loans, computed using month-end balances, was $223.7 million and $106.3 million for nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

(c) Credit Quality A credit quality indicator is a statistic used by the Company to monitor and assess the credit quality of loans held for investment, excluding loans held for investment at fair value. The Company monitors its charge-off rate in relation to its nonperforming loans as its credit quality indicator. Nonperforming loans are loans that are 90 or more days past due, in bankruptcy, in foreclosure, or not accruing interest. As of September 30, 2020, the annualized charge-off rate was 0.55% of average nonperforming loans. The charged-off rate was 0.52% for the year ended December 31, 2019. Other credit quality indicators include aging status and accrual status.
