ORGANIZATION | ORGANIZATION AFC Gamma, Inc. (the “Company” or “AFCG”) is an institutional lender to the commercial real estate sector that was founded in July 2020 by a veteran team of investment professionals. The Company primarily originates, structures, underwrites, invests in and manages senior secured commercial real estate loans and other types of loans and debt securities, with a specialization in loans to cannabis industry operators in states that have legalized medical and/or adult-use cannabis. The Company is a Maryland corporation and completed its initial public offering (the “IPO”) in March 2021. The Company is externally managed by AFC Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the Company’s “Manager”), pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Management Agreement, dated January 14, 2021, between the parties (as amended from time to time, the “Management Agreement”). The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, AFCG TRS1, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“TRS1”), operates as a taxable real estate investment trust subsidiary (a “TRS”). TRS1 began operating in July 2021, and the financial statements of TRS1 are consolidated within the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Sunrise Realty Trust, Inc. (“SUNS”) (f/k/a CRE South LLC), was formed on August 28, 2023 and converted from a Delaware limited liability company to a Maryland corporation in February 2024. The financial statements of SUNS are consolidated within the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company operates in one operating segment and is primarily focused on financing senior secured loans and other types of loans primarily to (i) senior secured loans to cannabis industry operators in states where medical and/or adult-use cannabis is legal and (ii) secured loans to commercial real estate owners, operators and related businesses. These loans are generally held for investment and are secured, directly or indirectly, by real estate, equipment, the value associated with licenses (where applicable) and/or other assets of borrowers depending on the applicable laws and regulations governing such borrowers. The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for United States federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Company generally will not be subject to United States federal income taxes on its REIT taxable income as long as it annually distributes all of its REIT taxable income prior to the deduction for dividends paid to shareholders and complies with various other requirements as a REIT. |

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations and financial condition as of and for the periods presented. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The current period’s results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be realized for the year ending December 31, 2024. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the valuation of loans held for investment at fair value and current expected credit losses (“CECL”).

The Company may also extend contractual maturities and amend other terms of the loans in connection with loan modifications. (5) I/O = interest-only, P/I = principal and interest. P/I loans may include interest-only periods for a portion of the loan term. (6) Base weighted average interest rate of 13.0% and payment-in-kind (“PIK”) weighted average interest rate of 2.7%.

Effective March 1, 2024, the Company placed the borrower on nonaccrual status. (7) The maturity date passed on the credit facility to Private Company B without repayment. The agent on the credit facility sent the borrower a notice of default and placed the borrower in receivership to maintain the borrower’s operations that were disrupted as a result of a management dispute. The Company has been in discussions with the borrower regarding refinancing the credit facility and with the receiver regarding a potential sale of the business in order to repay the loan. Until the loan is repaid, the borrower is obligated to pay interest at a base weighted average interest rate of 14.7% and PIK interest rate of 4.0%, plus a default interest rate of 4.0%. As amended by the forbearance and modification agreement entered into with Private Company B in February 2023, the 4.0% default interest rate is applicable from January 15, 2023 and is paid in kind. |

Credit Loss [Abstract] | |
CURRENT EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES | CURRENT EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES The Company estimates its current expected credit losses (“CECL”) on both the outstanding balances and unfunded commitments on loans held for investment and requires consideration of a broader range of historical experience adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecast information to inform the “CECL Reserve” using a model that considers multiple datapoints and methodologies that may include discounted cash flows (“DCF”) and other inputs which may include the risk rating of the loan, how recently the loan was originated compared to the measurement date, and expected prepayment if applicable. Calculation of the CECL Reserve requires loan specific data, which may include fixed charge coverage ratio, loan-to-value, property type and geographic location. Estimating the CECL Reserve also requires significant judgment with respect to various factors, including but not limited to the expected timing of loan repayments and the Company’s current and future view of the macroeconomic environment. The Company may consider loan-specific qualitative factors on certain loans to estimate its CECL Reserve, which may include (i) whether cash from the borrower’s operations is sufficient to cover the debt service requirements currently and into the future, (ii) the ability of the borrower to refinance the loan and (iii) the liquidation value of collateral. For loans where the Company has deemed the borrower/sponsor to be experiencing financial difficulty, the Company may elect to apply a practical expedient in which the fair value of the underlying collateral is compared to the amortized cost of the loan in determining a specific CECL allowance. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s CECL Reserve for its loans held at carrying value and loan receivable held at carrying value is approximately $31.4 million and $26.4 million, respectively, or 8.71% and 8.71%, respectively, of the Company’s total loans held at carrying value and loan receivable held at carrying value of approximately $359.9 million and $303.3 million, respectively, and is bifurcated between the current expected credit loss reserve (contra-asset) related to outstanding balances on loans held at carrying value and loan receivable held at carrying value of approximately $31.3 million and $26.3 million, respectively, and a liability for unfunded commitments of approximately $9.1 thousand and $115.5 thousand, respectively. The liability was based on the unfunded portion of the loan commitment over the full contractual period over which the Company is exposed to credit risk through a current obligation to extend credit. Management considered the likelihood that funding will occur, and if funded, the expected credit loss on the funded portion. Activity related to the CECL Reserve for outstanding balances and unfunded commitments on the Company’s loans held at carrying value and loan receivable held at carrying value as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was as follows: Outstanding (1) Unfunded (2) Total Balance at December 31, 2023 $ 26,309,450 $ 115,473 $ 26,424,923 Provision for current expected credit losses 5,038,012 (106,338) 4,931,674 Write-offs — — — Recoveries — — — Balance at March 31, 2024 $ 31,347,462 $ 9,135 $ 31,356,597 (1) As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the CECL Reserve related to outstanding balances on loans held at carrying value and loan receivable held at carrying value is recorded within current expected credit loss reserve in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. (2) As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the CECL Reserve related to unfunded commitments on loans held at carrying value is recorded within current expected credit loss reserve as a liability in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company continuously evaluates the credit quality of each loan by assessing the risk factors of each loan and assigning a risk rating based on a variety of factors. Risk factors include property type, geographic and local market dynamics, physical condition, projected cash flow, loan structure and exit plan, loan-to-value ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio, project sponsorship, and other factors deemed necessary. Based on a 5-point scale, the Company’s loans are rated “1” through “5,” from less risk to greater risk, which ratings are defined as follows: Rating Definition 1 Very Low Risk — Materially exceeds performance metrics included in original or current credit underwriting and business plan 2 Low Risk — Collateral and business performance exceeds substantially all performance metrics included in original or current credit underwriting and business plan 3 Medium Risk — Collateral and business performance meets, or is on track to meet underwriting expectations; business plan is met or can reasonably be achieved 4 High Risk/ Potential for Loss — Collateral performance falls short of underwriting, material differences from business plans, defaults may exist, or may soon exist absent material improvement. Risk of recovery of interest exists 5 Impaired/ Loss Likely — Performance is significantly worse than underwriting with major variances from business plan observed. Loan covenants or financial milestones have been breached; exit from loan or refinancing is uncertain. Full recovery of principal is unlikely The risk ratings are primarily based on historical data as well as taking into account future economic conditions. As of March 31, 2024, the carrying value, excluding the CECL Reserve, of the Company’s loans held at carrying value and loan receivable held at carrying value within each risk rating by year of origination is as follows: Risk Rating: 2024 2023 2022 2021 2020 Total 1 $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — 2 — — — — 3,604,054 3,604,054 3 79,068,238 27,433,654 54,399,908 102,812,429 — 263,714,229 4 — — — — — — 5 — — 12,763,143 77,771,041 2,040,058 92,574,242 Total $ 79,068,238 $ 27,433,654 $ 67,163,051 $ 180,583,470 $ 5,644,112 $ 359,892,525 |

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
DEBT | DEBT Revolving Credit Facility On April 29, 2022, the Company entered into the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, the other loan parties from time to time party thereto, the lenders party thereto, and the lead arranger, bookrunner and administrative agent party thereto, pursuant to which, the Company obtained a $60.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility has a maturity date of April 29, 2025. The Revolving Credit Facility contains aggregate commitments of $60.0 million from two FDIC-insured banking institutions (which may be increased to up to $100.0 million in aggregate, subject to available borrowing base and additional commitments) which may be borrowed, repaid and redrawn, subject to a borrowing base based on eligible loan obligations held by the Company and subject to the satisfaction of other conditions provided under the Revolving Credit Facility. Interest is payable on the Revolving Credit Facility at the greater of (1) the applicable base rate plus 0.50% and (2) 4.50%, as provided in the Revolving Credit Agreement, payable in cash in arrears. Upon entering into the Revolving Credit Agreement, the Company incurred a one-time commitment fee expense of approximately $0.5 million, which was included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and amortized over the life of the facility. Commencing on the six-month anniversary of the closing date, the Revolving Credit Facility has an unused line fee of 0.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears, which is included within interest expense in the Company’s unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations. Based on the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement, the Company’s estimated average cash balance will exceed the minimum balance required to waive the unused line fee and as such, the Company did not incur an unused line fee for the three months ended March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility was $60.0 million and $42.0 million, respectively, and zero and $18.0 million was available for borrowing as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The obligations of the Company under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by certain assets of the Company comprising of or relating to loan obligations designated for inclusion in the borrowing base. In addition, the Company is subject to various financial and other covenants, including: (1) liquidity of at least $5.0 million, (2) annual debt service coverage of at least 1.5 to 1.0 and (3) secured debt not to exceed 25% of total consolidated assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. 2027 Senior Notes On November 3, 2021, the Company issued $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due in May 2027 (the “2027 Senior Notes”). The 2027 Senior Notes accrue interest at a rate of 5.75% per annum. Interest on the 2027 Senior Notes is due semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year, which began on May 1, 2022. The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $97.0 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and estimated offering fees and expenses payable by the Company. The Company used the proceeds from the issuance of the 2027 Senior Notes (i) to fund loans related to unfunded commitments to existing borrowers, (ii) to originate and participate in commercial loans to companies operating in the cannabis industry that are consistent with the Company’s investment strategy and (iii) for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The terms of the 2027 Senior Notes are governed by an indenture, dated November 3, 2021, among us, as issuer, and TMI Trust Company, as trustee (the “Indenture”). Under the Indenture, the Company is required to cause all of its existing and future subsidiaries to guarantee the 2027 Senior Notes, other than certain immaterial subsidiaries as set forth in the Indenture. TRS1 and SUNS are currently subsidiary guarantors under the Indenture. Following the completion of the Spin-Off, SUNS will no longer be a guarantor under the Indenture. Prior to February 1, 2027, the Company may redeem the 2027 Senior Notes in whole or in part, at a price equal to the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the 2027 Senior Notes being redeemed or a make-whole premium set forth in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date. On or after February 1, 2027, we may redeem the 2027 Senior Notes in whole or in part at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2027 Senior Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date. The Indenture also requires us to offer to purchase all of the 2027 Senior Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 2027 Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest if a “change of control triggering event” (as defined in the Indenture) occurs. The Indenture contains customary terms and restrictions, subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications, including restrictions on the Company’s ability to (1) incur additional indebtedness unless the Annual Debt Service Charge (as defined in the Indenture) is no less than 1.5 to 1.0, (2) incur or maintain total debt in an aggregate principal amount greater than 60% of the Company’s consolidated Total Assets (as defined in the Indenture), (3) incur or maintain secured debt in an aggregate principal amount greater than 25% of the Company’s consolidated Total Assets (as defined in the Indenture), and (4) merge, consolidate or sell substantially all of the Company’s assets. In addition, the Indenture also provides for customary events of default. If any event of default occurs, any amount then outstanding under the Indenture may immediately become due and payable. These events of default are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications set forth in the Indenture. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 , the Company repurchased $10.0 million in principal amount of the Company’s 2027 Senior Notes at 77.4% of par value, plus accrued interest. This resulted in a gain on extinguishment of debt of approximately $2.0 million, recorded within the unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations. No repurchases took place during the three months ended March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024 , the Company had $90.0 million in principal amount of the 2027 Senior Notes outstanding.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company is not aware of any legal claims that could materially impact its business, financial condition or results of operations. On March 17, 2023, the Company appointed Brandon Hetzel to serve as its Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer in place of Brett Kaufman, effective as of such date, with Mr. Kaufman’s employment with AFC Management, LLC, the Company’s external manager (the “Manager”), terminated, effective as of April 17, 2023 (the “Separation Date”). In connection with his termination, Mr. Kaufman received (i) twelve twelve one March 31, 2024 and 2023 , the Company recorded approximately zero and $0.7 million in severance expense within general and administrative expenses within the unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations, respectively. The Company primarily provides loans to companies operating in the cannabis industry which involves significant risks, including the risk of strict enforcement against the Company’s borrowers on the federal illegality of cannabis, the Company’s borrowers’ inability to renew or otherwise maintain their licenses or other requisite authorizations for their cannabis operations, and such loans lack of liquidity, and the Company could lose all or part of any of the Company’s loans. The Company’s ability to grow or maintain its business with respect to the loans it makes to companies operating in the cannabis industry depends on state laws pertaining to the cannabis industry. New laws that are adverse to the Company’s borrowers may be enacted, and current favorable state or national laws or enforcement guidelines relating to cultivation, production and distribution of cannabis may be modified or eliminated in the future, which would impede the Company’s ability to grow and could materially adversely affect the Company’s business. Management’s plan to mitigate risks include monitoring the legal landscape as deemed appropriate. Also, should a loan default or otherwise be seized, the Company may be prohibited from owning cannabis assets and thus could not take possession of collateral, in which case the Company would look to sell the loan, which could result in the Company realizing a loss on the transaction. |

The Series A Preferred Stock entitles the holders thereof to receive cumulative cash dividends at a rate per annum of 12.0% of the liquidation preference of $1,000 per share plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon. The Company generally may not declare or pay, or set apart for payment, any dividend or other distribution on any shares of the Company’s stock ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends, including the Company’s common stock, or redeem, repurchase or otherwise make payments on any such shares, unless full, cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been declared and paid or set apart for payment for all past dividend periods. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock generally have no voting rights except in limited circumstances, including certain amendments to the Company’s charter and the authorization or issuance of equity securities senior to or on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock is not convertible into shares of any other class or series of our stock. The Series A Preferred Stock is senior to all other classes and series of shares of the Company’s stock as to dividend and redemption rights and rights upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution and winding up. Upon written notice to each record holder of the Series A Preferred Stock as to the effective date of redemption, the Company may redeem the shares of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at any time for cash at a redemption price equal to $1,000 per share, for a total of $125,000 for the 125 shares outstanding, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon up to and including the date fixed for redemption. Shares of the Series A Preferred Stock that are redeemed shall no longer be deemed outstanding shares of the Company and all rights of the holders of such shares will terminate. Common Stock During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and year ended December 31, 2023 , the Company did not issue any shares of its common stock, other than awards granted under the Stock Incentive Plan. Shelf Registration Statement On April 5, 2022, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-264144) (the “Shelf Registration Statement”), which was declared effective on April 18, 2022. Under the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company may, from time to time, issue and sell up to $1.0 billion of the Company’s common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants and rights (including as part of a unit) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock or preferred stock. At-the-Market Offering Program (“ATM Program”) On April 5, 2022, the Company entered into an Open Market Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC and JMP Securities LLC, as Sales Agents, under which the Company may, from time to time, offer and sell shares of common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $75.0 million. Under the terms of the Sales Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay the Sales Agents a commission of up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from each sale of common stock sold through the Sales Agents. Sales of common stock, if any, may be made in transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market” offerings, as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and year ended December 31, 2023 , the Company did not sell any shares of the Company’s common stock under the Sales Agreement. As of March 31, 2024 , the shares of common stock sold under the ATM Program are the only offerings that have been initiated under the Shelf Registration Statement. Share Repurchase Program On June 13, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program providing for the repurchase of up to $20.0 million of the Company's outstanding common stock (the “Repurchase Program”). The timing, price, and volume of repurchases will be based on the Company’s stock price, general market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The repurchase of the Company’s common stock may be made from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise in compliance with Rule 10b-18 and Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company expects to finance any share repurchases under the Repurchase Program using cash on hand, capacity available under our line of credit and cash flows from operations. The Repurchase Program may be discontinued, modified or suspended at any time. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and year ended December 31, 2023 , the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock pursuant to the Repurchase Program. Stock Incentive Plan The Company has established a stock incentive compensation plan (the “2020 Plan”). The 2020 Plan authorizes stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock bonuses, stock units and other forms of awards granted or denominated in the Company’s common stock or units of common stock. The 2020 Plan retains flexibility to offer competitive incentives and to tailor benefits to specific needs and circumstances. Any award may be structured to be paid or settled in cash. The Company has, and currently intends to continue to grant stock options to participants in the 2020 Plan, but it may also grant any other type of award available under the 2020 Plan in the future. Persons eligible to receive awards under the 2020 Plan include officers or employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, directors of the Company, employees of the Manager and certain directors and consultants and other service providers to the Company or any of its subsidiaries. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved grants of restricted stock to the Company’s directors and officers, as well as employees of the Manager. In January 2024, the Company granted an aggregate of 209,397 shares of restricted stock to certain of our directors, officers and other eligible persons. The restricted stock granted in January 2024 under the 2020 Plan contain vesting periods that vary from immediately vested to vesting over a three-year period, with approximately 33% vesting on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the vesting commencement date. As of March 31, 2024, there were 2,536,289 shares of common stock granted under the 2020 Plan, underlying 2,169,852 options and 366,437 shares of restricted stock. During the first quarter of 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved grants of restricted stock to the Company’s directors and officers, as well as certain employees of the Manager. In January 2023, the Company granted an aggregate of 125,234 shares of restricted stock to certain of our directors, officers and other eligible persons. The restricted stock granted in January 2023 under the 2020 Plan contain vesting periods that vary from immediately vested to vesting over a three-year period, with approximately 33% vesting on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the vesting commencement date. As of March 31, 2024, the maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be delivered pursuant to awards under the 2020 Plan (the “Share Limit”) equals 3,202,442 shares, which is an increase of 409,154 shares compared to December 31, 2023. The Share Limit increased pursuant to the Minimum Annual Increase provision in the 2020 Plan. Shares that are subject to or underlie awards that expire or for any reason are cancelled, terminated, forfeited, fail to vest, or for any other reason are not paid or delivered under the 2020 Plan will not be counted against the Share Limit and will again be available for subsequent awards under the 2020 Plan. The following table summarizes the (i) non-vested options granted, (ii) vested options granted, (iii) exercised and (iv) forfeited options granted for the Company’s directors and officers and employees of the Manager as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023: As of As of Non-vested 161,879 206,304 Vested 2,212,753 2,168,328 Exercised (5,511) (5,511) Forfeited (200,169) (200,169) Balance 2,168,952 2,168,952 The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value stock options in determining the stock-based compensation expense. The Company has elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur. Previously recognized compensation expense related to forfeitures are reversed in the period the nonvested awards are forfeited. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the date of grant. The expected dividend yield was based on the Company’s expected dividend yield at the grant date. Expected volatility is based on the estimated average volatility of similar companies due to the lack of historical volatilities of the Company’s common stock. Restricted stock grant expense is based on the Company’s stock price at the time of the grant and amortized over the vesting period. The stock-based compensation expense for the Company was approximately $0.5 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 , respectively. The following table presents the assumptions used in the option pricing model of options granted under the 2020 Plan: Assumptions Range Expected volatility 40% - 50% Expected dividend yield 10% - 20% Risk-free interest rate 0.5% - 2.0% Expected forfeiture rate 0% The following tables summarize stock option activity as of and during the three months ended March 31, 2024: Number of options Weighted-average Weighted-average remaining contractual term Aggregate intrinsic value Outstanding as of December 31, 2023 2,168,952 $ 17.74 Granted — — Exercised — — Forfeited — — Outstanding as of March 31, 2024 2,168,952 $ 17.74 4.02 years $ — Exercisable as of March 31, 2024 2,123,596 $ 17.72 4.01 years $ — T he Company did not grant any options d uring the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 .

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
INCOME TAX | INCOME TAX A TRS is an entity taxed as a corporation that has not elected to be taxed as a REIT, in which a REIT directly or indirectly holds equity, and that has made a joint election with such REIT to be treated as a TRS. A TRS generally may engage in any business, including investing in assets and engaging in activities that could not be held or conducted directly by the Company without jeopardizing its qualification as a REIT. A TRS is subject to applicable United States federal, state and local income tax on its taxable income. In addition, as a REIT, the Company also may be subject to a 100% excise tax on certain transactions between it and its TRS that are not conducted on an arm’s-length basis. The income tax provision is included in the line item income tax expense, including excise tax. The income tax provision for the Company was approximately $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 primarily related to activities of the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary. The income tax provision for the Company and TRS1 consisted of the following for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023: Three months ended 2024 2023 Current (1) $ 158,360 $ 174,832 Deferred — — Excise tax — 270 Total income tax expense, including excise tax $ 158,360 $ 175,102 (1) During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company incurred federal taxes of approximately $105.3 thousand and state and local taxes of approximately $53.1 thousand. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company incurred federal taxes of approximately $131.5 thousand and state and local taxes of approximately $43.3 thousand. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred no expense for United States federal excise tax. Excise tax represents a 4% tax on the sum of a portion of the Company’s ordinary income and net capital gains not distributed during the period. If it is determined that an excise tax liability exists for the current period, the Company will accrue excise tax on estimated excess taxable income as such taxable income is earned. The expense is calculated in accordance with applicable tax regulations. The Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits and the Company does not expect that to change in the next 12 months. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
FAIR VALUE | FAIR VALUE Loans Held for Investment The Company’s loans are typically valued using a yield analysis, which is typically performed for non-credit impaired loans to borrowers where the Company does not own a controlling equity position. Alternative valuation methodologies may be used as appropriate, and can include a market analysis, income analysis, or recovery analysis. To determine fair value using a yield analysis, a current price is imputed for the loan based upon an assessment of the expected market yield for a similarly structured loan with a similar level of risk. In the yield analysis, the Company considers the current contractual interest rate, the maturity and other terms of the loan relative to risk of the company and the specific loan. A key determinant of risk, among other things, is the leverage through the loan relative to the enterprise value of the borrower. As loans held by the Company are substantially illiquid with no active loan market, the Company depends on primary market data, including newly funded loans, as well as secondary market data with respect to high-yield debt instruments and syndicated loans, as inputs in determining the appropriate market yield, as applicable. The following tables present fair value measurements of loans held at fair value as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023: Fair Value Measurement as of March 31, 2024 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Loans held at fair value $ 54,977,282 $ — $ — $ 54,977,282 Total $ 54,977,282 $ — $ — $ 54,977,282 Fair Value Measurement as of December 31, 2023 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Loans held at fair value $ 61,720,705 $ — $ — $ 61,720,705 Total $ 61,720,705 $ — $ — $ 61,720,705 The following table presents changes in loans that use Level 3 inputs as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2024: Three months ended Total loans using Level 3 inputs at December 31, 2023 $ 61,720,705 Change in unrealized gains (losses) on loans at fair value, net (3,613,693) Loan repayments (4,003,945) Accretion of original issue discount 128,384 PIK interest 745,831 Total loans using Level 3 inputs at March 31, 2024 $ 54,977,282 The change in unrealized losses included in the unaudited interim consolidated statements of operations attributable to loans held at fair value, categorized as Level 3, held as of March 31, 2024 is $(3,613,693). The following tables summarize the significant unobservable inputs the Company used to value the loans categorized within Level 3 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The tables are not intended to be all-inclusive, but instead capture the significant unobservable inputs relevant to the Company’s determination of fair values. As of March 31, 2024 Unobservable Input Fair Value Primary Valuation Techniques Input Estimated Range Weighted Average Senior term loans $ 39,435,412 Recovery analysis Recovery rate 75.50% - 83.10% 79.30% Senior term loans 15,541,870 Market approach Revenue multiple 0.75x - 1.00x 0.88x Total investments $ 54,977,282 As of December 31, 2023 Unobservable Input Fair Value Primary Valuation Techniques Input Estimated Range Weighted Average Senior term loans $ 47,627,845 Recovery analysis Recovery rate 86.10% - 92.40% 89.25% Senior term loans 14,092,860 Market approach Revenue multiple 0.50x - 0.70x 0.60x Total investments $ 61,720,705 Changes in market yields, revenue multiples, and recovery rates may change the fair value of certain of the Company’s loans. Generally, an increase in market yields may result in a decrease in the fair value of certain of the Company’s loans, while a decrease in revenue multiples and recovery rates may result in a decrease in the fair value of certain of the Company’s loans. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of loans that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company’s loans may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of the Company’s loans may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such loans and may differ materially from the values that the Company may ultimately realize. Further, such loans are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If the Company was required to liquidate a loan in a forced or liquidation sale, it could realize significantly less than the value at which the Company has recorded it. In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the loans may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these loans to be different than the unrealized gains or losses reflected in the valuations currently assigned. Fair Value of Financial Instruments GAAP requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized at fair value in the balance sheets, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The following table details the book value and fair value of the Company’s financial instruments not recognized at fair value in the unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024 : As of March 31, 2024 Carrying Value Fair Value Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 82,298,440 $ 82,298,440 Loans held for investment at carrying value $ 357,852,467 $ 329,881,425 Loan receivable held at carrying value $ 2,040,058 $ 510,436 Financial liabilities: Senior notes payable, net $ 88,163,140 $ 79,031,250 Estimates of fair value for cash and cash equivalents are measured using observable, quoted market prices, or Level 1 inputs. The Company’s loans held for investment are measured using unobservable inputs, or Level 3 inputs. The fair value of the Company’s 2027 Senior Notes is estimated by discounting expected cash flows using readily available quoted prices for similar debt, or Level 2 inputs. |

Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in conformity with the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to interim financial information and include the accounts of the Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations and financial condition as of and for the periods presented. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The current period’s results of operations will not necessarily be indicative of results that ultimately may be realized for the year ending December 31, 2024. |
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements | Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the valuation of loans held for investment at fair value and current expected credit losses (“CECL”). |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
Current Expected Credit Losses | The Company estimates its current expected credit losses (“CECL”) on both the outstanding balances and unfunded commitments on loans held for investment and requires consideration of a broader range of historical experience adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecast information to inform the “CECL Reserve” using a model that considers multiple datapoints and methodologies that may include discounted cash flows (“DCF”) and other inputs which may include the risk rating of the loan, how recently the loan was originated compared to the measurement date, and expected prepayment if applicable. Calculation of the CECL Reserve requires loan specific data, which may include fixed charge coverage ratio, loan-to-value, property type and geographic location. Estimating the CECL Reserve also requires significant judgment with respect to various factors, including but not limited to the expected timing of loan repayments and the Company’s current and future view of the macroeconomic environment. The Company may consider loan-specific qualitative factors on certain loans to estimate its CECL Reserve, which may include (i) whether cash from the borrower’s operations is sufficient to cover the debt service requirements currently and into the future, (ii) the ability of the borrower to refinance the loan and (iii) the liquidation value of collateral. For loans where the Company has deemed the borrower/sponsor to be experiencing financial difficulty, the Company may elect to apply a practical expedient in which the fair value of the underlying collateral is compared to the amortized cost of the loan in determining a specific CECL allowance. |
