| Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, and in the opinion of management, include all necessary adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring items, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2018 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 are unaudited and include all adjustments necessary to present a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. Results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. These financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with for interim financial information and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumption that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Investments in Real Estate In accordance with the guidance for business combinations, the Company determines whether the acquisition of a property qualifies as a business combination, which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business. If the property acquired is not a business, the Company accounts for the transaction as an asset acquisition. Whether the acquisition of a property acquired is considered a business combination or asset acquisition, the Company recognizes the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity. In addition, for transactions that are business combinations, the Company evaluates the existence of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. The Company expenses acquisition-related costs associated with business combinations as they are incurred. The Company capitalizes acquisition-related costs associated with asset acquisition. Upon acquisition of a property, the Company assesses the fair value of acquired tangible and intangible assets (including land, buildings, tenant improvements, above-market and below-market leases, acquired in-place leases, other identified intangible assets and assumed liabilities) and allocates the purchase price to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The Company assesses and considers fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize discount and/or capitalization rates that it deems appropriate, as well as other available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant. The Company also considers an allocation of purchase price of other acquired intangibles, including acquired in-place leases that may have a customer relationship intangible value, including but not limited to the nature and extent of the existing relationship with the tenants, the tenants’ credit quality and expectations of lease renewals. Based on its acquisitions to date, the Company’s allocation to customer relationship intangible assets has not been material. The Company records acquired above-market and below-market leases at their fair values (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) equal to the difference between (1) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (2) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases. Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values that are based on the Company’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. Factors to be considered include estimates of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, the Company includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, the Company considers leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. The amortization of acquired below-market leases is recorded as an adjustment to rental revenue on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The amortization of in-place leases is recorded as an adjustment to depreciation and amortization expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The cost of buildings and improvements includes the purchase price of the Company’s properties and any acquisition-related costs, along with any subsequent improvements to such properties. The Company’s investments in real estate are stated at cost and are generally depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Description
Depreciable Life
Building and building improvements
40 years
Land improvements
15 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment
3-7 years
Lease intangibles
Over lease term Significant improvements to properties are capitalized. When assets are sold or retired, their costs and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts with the resulting gains or losses reflected in net income or loss for the period. Repairs and maintenance are expensed to operations as incurred and are included in rental property operating expense on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company’s management reviews its real estate properties for impairment each quarter or when there is an event or change in circumstances that indicates an impaired value. If the carrying amount of the real estate investment is no longer recoverable and exceeds the fair value such investment, an impairment loss is recognized. The impairment loss is recognized based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value, or fair value, less cost to sell if classified as held for sale. If the Company’s strategy changes or market conditions otherwise dictate an earlier sale date, an impairment loss may be recognized and such loss could be material to the Company’s results. If the Company determines that an impairment has occurred, the affected assets must be reduced to their fair value or fair value, less cost to sell if classified as held for sale. During the period presented, no such impairment occurred. Investments in Real Estate-Related Securities The Company has elected to classify its investment in real estate-related securities as trading securities and carry such investments at estimated fair value. Dividend income is recorded when declared. The resulting dividend income and gains and losses are recorded as a component of realized and unrealized income from real estate-related securities on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Fair Value Measurement Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Accounting guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 — quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the measurement date. The Company does not adjust the quoted price for these investments. Level 2 — quoted prices are available in markets that are not active or model inputs are based on inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date. Level 3 — pricing inputs are unobservable and include instances where there is minimal, if any, market activity for the investment. These inputs require significant judgment or estimation by management or third parties when determining fair value and generally represent anything that does not meet the criteria of Levels 1 and 2. Due to the inherent uncertainty of these estimates, these values may differ materially from the values that would have been used had a ready market for these investments existed. The carrying amounts of financial instruments such as other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities and market rates of interest of these instruments. As of June 30, 2018, the Company’s $21.8 million of investments in real-estate related securities consisted of shares of common stock of publicly-traded real estate investment trusts and were classified as Level 1. These investments are recorded at fair value based on the closing price of the common stock as reported by national securities exchanges. Revenue Recognition The Company’s sources of revenue arising from leasing arrangements and the related revenue recognition policies are as follows: Rental revenue — primarily consists of base rent arising from tenant operating leases at the Company’s office, industrial, multifamily, and retail properties. Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease, including any rent steps or abatement provisions. The Company begins to recognize revenue when a tenant takes possession of the leased space. Tenant reimbursement income — consists primarily of amounts due from tenants for costs related to common area maintenance, real estate taxes, and other recoverable costs included in lease agreements. The Company recognizes the reimbursement of such costs incurred as tenant reimbursement income. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents represents cash held in banks, cash on hand and liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. The Company may have bank balances in excess of federally insured amounts; however, the Company deposits its cash with high credit-quality institutions to minimize credit risk. Restricted Cash Restricted cash primarily consists of cash received for security deposits required to be maintained in separate bank accounts. The amount of $25,712 is classified as restricted cash as of June 30, 2018. Income Taxes The Company intends to make an election to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 2018. If the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal corporate income tax to the extent it distributes 90% of its taxable income to its stockholders. REITs are subject to a number of other organizational and operational requirements. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income. The Company may elect to treat certain of its corporate subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). There were no active TRSs since May 19, 2017 (date of initial capitalization) through June 30, 2018. In general, a TRS may perform additional services for the Company’s tenants and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate-related business other than management or operation of a lodging facility or a health care facility. A domestic TRS is subject to corporate federal income tax. Tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act (the “TCJA”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. Among other things, the TCJA reduces the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% and creates new taxes on certain foreign-sourced earnings. Management has evaluated the effects of TCJA and concluded that the TCJA will not materially impact its consolidated financial statements. This is due to the fact that the Company is operating in a manner which will allow it to qualify as a REIT which will result in a full valuation allowance being recorded against its deferred tax balances. The Company also estimates that the new taxes on foreign-sourced earnings are not likely to apply to its foreign investments. On December 22, 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the TCJA. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the TCJA enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under ASC 740, Income Taxes. Though the Company believes that the impacts of the TCJA will be immaterial to its financial results, the Company continues to analyze certain aspects of the TCJA, therefore its estimates may change as additional information becomes available. Many of the provisions of the TCJA will require guidance through the issuance of Treasury regulations in order to assess their effect. There may be a substantial delay before such regulations are promulgated, increasing the uncertainty as to the ultimate effect of the statutory amendments on the Company. It is also likely that there will be technical corrections legislation proposed with respect to the TCJA this year, the effect of which cannot be predicted and may be adverse to the Company or its stockholders. The Company is a taxable subchapter C corporation for its initial tax year ending December 31, 2017. The Company is indirectly wholly-owned by TIAA as of December 31, 2017 and will be included in TIAA’s consolidated U.S. corporation income tax return for its initial tax year. In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 1B (“SAB1B”) in conjunction with ASC740, the Company has determined its income tax provision on a separate return basis. The income tax provision as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 is zero. Net Income (Loss) per Share Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding (unless their effect is anti-dilutive) for the period. There are no common share equivalents outstanding, and accordingly, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding is identical for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 for both basic and diluted shares. Organization and Offering Expenses Organization costs are expensed as incurred and recorded as a component of General and Administrative Expenses on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and offering costs are charged to equity as such amounts are incurred. The Advisor has agreed to advance organization and offering expenses on behalf of the Company (including legal, accounting, and other expenses attributable to the organization, but excluding upfront selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees) through the fourth full fiscal quarter after the Company’s acquisition of its first property. The Company reimburses the Advisor for all such advanced expenses ratably over a 60 month period following December 31, 2018. As of June 30, 2018, the Advisor and its affiliates had incurred organization and offering expenses on the Company’s behalf of $4.3 million, consisting of offering costs of $3.2 million and organization costs of $1.1 million. Such costs became the Company’s liability on January 31, 2018, the date as of which the Offering was declared effective. These organization and offering costs are recorded as Due to Affiliates on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2018. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption: In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” Beginning January 1, 2018, the Company was required to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and has included additional disclosure requirements. The majority of the Company’s revenue is derived from tenant leases at multifamily and industrial properties and the Company has concluded that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have an impact on both the rental revenue and tenant reimbursement income revenue streams. The Company has adopted this standard on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method, and the cumulative impact did not have an impact on equity. Accordingly, there are no differences between the amounts as reported in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2018 and its Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to without the adoption of ASU 2014-09. However, upon adoption of the new leasing standard, ASU 2014-09 may impact the presentation of certain lease and non-lease components of revenue. See below for a further description of the expected impact the new leasing standard may have on the Company. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”) which will supersede Topic 840, Leases. This ASU applies to all entities that enter into a lease. Lessees will be required to report assets and liabilities that arise from leases. Lessor accounting is expected to remain unchanged except in certain circumstances. The ASU also contains certain practical expedients, which the Company plans to elect. The Company is electing the transition package of practical expedients permitted within the new standard, which among other things, allows the Company to carryforward the historical lease classification. In addition, the Company will elect the practical expedient not to separate lease and non-lease components whereby both components are accounted for and recognized as lease components. Under ASC 842 as a lessor, lease components will be recognized on a straight line basis, while non-lease components will be recognized in accordance with the new revenue standard. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact the ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements. The Company’s tenant reimbursement revenues generated from common area and maintenance services that are provided to its tenants are considered a non-lease component that must be separated, allocated based on the transaction price allocation guidance and accounted for according to the new revenue standard. In January 2018, the FASB issued a proposal for comment that would allow lessors to elect a similar practical expedient by class of underlying assets to not separate non-lease components from the lease component. The lessor’s practical expedient election would be limited to circumstances in which (i) the timing and pattern of revenue recognition are the same for the non-lease component and the related lease component and (ii) the combined single lease component would be classified as an operating lease. If the exposed practical expedient is issued in its existing form, the Company expects to elect the practical expedient which would allow the Company the ability to combine the lease and non-lease components if the underlying asset meets the two criteria above. This ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including all interim periods within those fiscal years. The proposed changes were approved by the FASB in July 2018. Management has completed its initial scoping for the adoption of the ASU 2016-02 and does not expect the adoption of such guidance to materially impact the Company. Recently Adopted: In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 clarifies the presentation of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. The primary updates include additions and clarifications of the classification of cash flows related to certain debt repayment activities, contingent consideration payments related to business combinations, proceeds from insurance policies, distributions from equity method investees, and cash flows related to securitized receivables. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The ASU requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented upon adoption. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018 with no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In November 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash” ("ASU 2016-18"). The amendments in this ASU require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statements of cash flows. GAAP currently does not include specific guidance on the cash flow classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The ASU requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented upon adoption. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018 with no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09 “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Scope of Modification Accounting,” which provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The amendments in this update will be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018 with no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. |
