Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation were included. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Annual Report of loanDepot, Inc. on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (“2022 Form 10-K”). Nature of Operations loanDepot, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware on November 6, 2020 to facilitate the initial public offering (“IPO”) of its Class A common stock and related transactions in order to carry on the business of LD Holdings Group LLC (“LD Holdings”) and its consolidated subsidiaries. loanDepot, Inc.’s common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on February 11, 2021 under the ticker symbol “LDI.” loanDepot, Inc. is a holding company and its sole material asset is its equity interest in LD Holdings. As of March 31, 2023 the consolidated subsidiaries of LD Holdings included loanDepot.com, LLC, (“LDLLC”), Artemis Management LLC (“ART”), LD Settlement Services, LLC (“LDSS”), mello Holdings, LLC (“Mello”), and mello Credit Strategies LLC (“MCS”). The Company engages in the originating, financing, selling, and servicing of residential mortgage loans, and engages in title, escrow, and settlement services for mortgage loan transactions. The Company derives income primarily from gains on the origination and sale of loans to investors, income from loan servicing, and fees charged for settlement services related to the origination and sale of loans. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Our accounting policies are described below and in Note 1- Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of our audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2022 Form 10-K. Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP as codified in the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC” or the “Codification”). In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. loanDepot, Inc. is a holding company, its sole material asset is its equity interest in LD Holdings and as the sole managing member of LD Holdings, loanDepot, Inc. indirectly operates and controls all of LD Holdings’ business and affairs. LD Holdings is also a holding company and has no material assets other than its equity interests in its direct subsidiaries consisting of a 99.99% ownership in LDLLC (the majority asset of the group), and 100% equity ownership in ART, LDSS, Mello, and MCS. The financial results of LD Holdings and its subsidiaries are consolidated with loanDepot, Inc., and the consolidated net earnings or loss are allocated to noncontrolling interest to reflect the entitlement of certain members that still hold Class A holdings units (“Holdco Units”) and Class C common stock, (“Continuing LLC Members”) as of the periods presented. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all of the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the Company and consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. VIEs are entities that have a total equity investment at risk that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, whose equity investors at risk lack the ability to control the entity's activities, or is structured with non-substantive voting rights. The Company evaluates its associations with VIEs, both at inception and when there is a change in circumstance that requires reconsideration, to determine if the Company is the primary beneficiary and consolidation is required. A primary beneficiary is defined as a variable interest holder that has a controlling financial interest. A controlling financial interest requires both: (a) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits of a VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company has not provided financial or other support during the periods presented to any VIE that it was not previously contractually required to provide. Other entities that the Company does not consolidate, but for which it has significant influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for using the equity method. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has evaluated subsequent events for recognition or disclosure through the date of this report and has not identified any recordable or disclosable events that were not already reported in these consolidated financial statements or notes thereto. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Management has made significant estimates in certain areas, including determining the fair value of loans held for sale, servicing rights, derivative assets and derivative liabilities, trading securities, awards granted under the incentive equity plan, determining the loan loss obligation on sold loans and MSRs. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Concentration of Risk The Company has concentrated its credit risk for cash by maintaining deposits in several financial institutions, which may at times exceed amounts covered by insurance provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk related to cash. Due to the nature of the mortgage lending industry, changes in interest rates may significantly impact revenue from originating mortgages and subsequent sales of loans to investors, which are the primary source of income for the Company. The Company originates mortgage loans on property located throughout the United States, with loans originated for property located in California totaling approximately 17% of total loan originations for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company sells mortgage loans to various third-party investors. Three investors accounted for 11%, 29%, and 33% of the Company’s loan sales for the three months ended March 31, 2023. No other investors accounted for more than 5% of the loan sales for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

(2) Weighted average inputs are based on the committed amounts for IRLCs and the UPB of the underlying loans for servicing rights. Financial Statement Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis The Company did not have any material assets or liabilities that were recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022. Financial Statement Items Measured at Amortized Cost Warehouse and other lines of credit - The Company’s warehouse and other lines of credit bear interest at a rate that is periodically adjusted based on a market index. The carrying value of warehouse and other lines of credit approximates fair value. Debt obligations, net - Debt consists of secured credit facilities, Term Notes, and Senior Notes. The Company’s secured credit facilities and Term Notes accrue interest at a stated base rate, plus a margin, they are highly liquid and short-term in nature and as a result, their carrying value approximated fair value as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Fair value of the Company’s Senior Notes issued in October 2020 and March 2021 were estimated using the quoted market prices at March 31, 2023. The debt obligations are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

March 31, December 31, Fair Value of Servicing Rights, net $ 2,016,568 $ 2,025,136 Change in Fair Value from adverse changes: Discount Rate: Increase 1% (80,524) (81,431) Increase 2% (155,548) (157,281) Cost of Servicing: Increase 10% (19,333) (19,017) Increase 20% (38,772) (38,127) Prepayment Speed: Increase 10% (23,181) (18,863) Increase 20% (45,837) (37,546) Sensitivities are hypothetical changes in fair value and cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of changes in assumptions to changes in fair value may not be linear. Also, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption is calculated without changing any other assumption, whereas a change in one factor may result in changes to another. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that actual results would be consistent with the results of these estimates. As a result, actual future changes in servicing rights values may differ significantly from those displayed above.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIESDerivatives instruments utilized by the Company primarily include interest rate lock commitments, forward sale contracts, MBS put options, put options on treasuries, and interest rate swap futures. Derivative financial instruments are recognized as assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value. The Company accounts for derivatives as free-standing derivatives and does not designate any derivative financial instruments for hedge accounting. All derivative financial instruments are recognized on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value with changes in the fair values being reported in current period earnings. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for purposes other than in support of its risk management activities. Refer to Note 1- Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 2- Fair Value for further details on derivatives in the 2022 Form 10-K.

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2023
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES	VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES The determination of whether the assets and liabilities of the VIEs are consolidated or not consolidated in the consolidated balance sheets depends on the terms of the related transaction and the Company’s continuing involvement, if any, with the VIE. The Company is deemed the primary beneficiary and therefore consolidates VIEs for which it has both (a) the power, through voting rights or similar rights, to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance, and (b) benefits, as defined, from the VIE. The Company determines whether it holds a significant variable interest in a VIE based on a consideration of both qualitative and quantitative factors regarding the nature, size, and form of its involvement with the VIE. The Company assesses whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE on an ongoing basis. The Company did not provide any non-contractual financial support to VIEs for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and year ended December 31, 2022. Consolidated VIEs The Company is a holding company, its sole material asset is its equity interest in LD Holdings and as the sole managing member of LD Holdings, the Company indirectly operates and controls all of LD Holdings’ business and affairs. LD Holdings is considered a VIE and the financial results of LD Holdings and its subsidiaries are consolidated. A portion of net earnings or loss is allocated to noncontrolling interest to reflect the entitlement of the Continuing LLC Members. The Company is involved in several types of securitization and financing transactions that utilize special purpose entities (“SPEs”). The Company’s principal use of SPEs is to obtain liquidity by securitizing certain of its financial and non-financial assets. SPEs involved in the Company’s securitization and other financing transactions are often considered VIEs. The Company consolidates securitization facilities that finance mortgage loans held for sale, and SPEs established as trusts to finance mortgage servicing rights and servicing advance receivables. The Company sells assets to a securitization or trust, which issue beneficial interests that are collateralized by the transferred assets and entitle the investors to specified cash flows generated therefrom. The Company may retain beneficial interests in the assets sold. The Company also holds certain conditional repurchase options specific to these securitizations that allow it to repurchase assets from the securitization entity. The Company’s economic exposure to loss from outstanding third-party financing is generally limited to the carrying value of the assets financed. The Company has retained risks in the securitizations including customary representations and warranties. For securitization facilities, the Company, as seller, has an option to prepay and redeem outstanding classes of issued notes after a set time period has elapsed. The Company’s exposure to these entities is primarily through its role as seller, servicer, and administrator. Servicing functions include, but are not limited to, general collection activity, preparing and furnishing statements, and loss mitigation efforts including repossession and sale of collateral. The Company may sell mortgage loans to investors through private label securitizations which are accounted for either as sales or secured borrowings. The Company may retain economic interests in the securitized and sold assets, which are generally retained in the form of senior or subordinated interests, residual interests, and/or servicing rights. The Company evaluates its interests in each private label securitization for classification as a VIE. The Company accounts for a securitization as a sale when it has relinquished control over the transferred financial assets and does not hold other interests in the VIE that individually, or in the aggregate, would absorb more than an insignificant amount of the VIE’s expected losses or receive more than an insignificant amount of the VIE’s expected residual returns. The Company has an option to exercise a cleanup call to purchase the remaining mortgage loans and any trust property when the remaining aggregate principal balance is less than 10% of the initial aggregate principal balance. The table below presents a summary of the carrying value and balance sheet classification of assets and liabilities in the Company’s consolidated securitization and SPE VIEs.

The table below presents a summary of the nonconsolidated VIEs for which the Company holds variable interests. March 31, 2023 Carrying value Maximum Total assets in VIEs Assets Liabilities Retained interests $ 95,561 $ — $ 95,561 $ 2,285,471 Investments in joint ventures 18,266 — 18,266 18,622 Total $ 113,827 $ — $ 113,827 December 31, 2022 Carrying value Maximum Total assets in VIEs Assets Liabilities Retained interests $ 94,243 $ — $ 94,243 $ 2,309,739 Investments in joint ventures 20,410 — 20,410 38,682 Total $ 114,653 $ — $ 114,653 Retained interests In 2022 and 2021, the Company completed the sale and securitization of non-owner occupied residential mortgage loans. Pursuant to the credit risk retention requirements, the Company, as sponsor, is required to retain at least a 5% economic interest in the credit risk of the assets collateralizing the securitization transactions. The retained interests represent a variable interest in the securitizations. The Company determined it was not the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The Company’s continuing involvement is limited to customary servicing obligations as servicer associated with retained servicing rights and the receipt of principal and interest associated with the retained interests. The investors and the securitization trusts have no recourse to the Company’s assets; holders of the securities issued by each trust can look only to the loans owned by the trust for payment. The retained interests held by the Company are subject principally to the credit risk stemming from the underlying transferred loans. The securitization trusts used to effect these transactions are variable interest entities that the Company does not consolidate. The Company remeasures the carrying value of its retained interests at each reporting date to reflect their current fair value which is included in trading securities, at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets, with corresponding gains or losses included in other income on the consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2023, the remaining principal balance of loans transferred to these securitization trusts was $2.3 billion of which $10.6 million was 90 days or more past due.

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company repurchased $97.5 million of 2028 Senior Notes at an average purchase price of 87.9% of par which resulted in a $10.5 million gain on extinguishment of debt recorded in other interest expense on the consolidated statement of operations. The Company may also redeem the 2028 Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after April 1, 2024 at various redemption prices. In addition, subject to certain conditions at any time prior to April 1, 2024, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the principal amount of the 2028 Senior Notes with the proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price of 106.125% of the principal amount of the 2028 Senior Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE	EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE Basic earnings (loss) per share of Class A common stock and Class D common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to loanDepot, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock and Class D common stock, respectively, outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share of Class A common stock and Class D common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to loanDepot, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock and Class D common stock respectively, outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities. There was no Class B common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2023 or 2022. The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for Class A common stock and Class D common stock: Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 Class A Class D Total Net loss attributable to loanDepot, Inc. $ (18,534) $ (24,373) $ (42,907) Weighted average shares - basic 73,783,147 97,026,671 170,809,818 Loss per share - basic $ (0.25) $ (0.25) $ (0.25) Diluted loss per share: Net loss allocated to common stockholders - diluted $ (18,534) $ (24,373) $ (42,907) Weighted average shares - diluted 73,783,147 97,026,671 170,809,818 Loss per share - diluted $ (0.25) $ (0.25) $ (0.25) Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Class A Class D Total Net loss attributable to loanDepot, Inc. $ (10,367) $ (24,374) $ (34,741) Weighted average shares - basic 41,480,725 97,527,165 139,007,890 Loss per share - basic $ (0.25) $ (0.25) $ (0.25) Diluted loss per share: Net loss allocated to common stockholders - diluted $ (10,367) $ (24,374) $ (34,741) Weighted average shares - diluted 41,480,725 97,527,165 139,007,890 Loss per share - diluted $ (0.25) $ (0.25) $ (0.25) For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, 149,210,417 and 181,035,804 shares of Class C common stock were evaluated for the assumed exchange of noncontrolling interests and determined to be anti-dilutive, and thus were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share. For the three months March 31, 2023, 21,470,046 of Class A RSUs, nonqualified stock options, and ESPP shares were determined to be anti-dilutive, and thus excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES The Company’s income tax expense varies from the expense that would be expected based on statutory rates due principally to its organizational structure. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had a deferred tax asset before any valuation allowance of $127.2 million and $70.5 million, respectively, and a deferred tax liability of $230.4 million and $191.6 million, respectively. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, which will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. The deferred tax liability as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 relates to temporary differences in the book basis as compared to the tax basis of loanDepot, Inc.’s investment in LD Holdings, net of tax benefits from future deductions for payments made under a Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”) as a result of the IPO. Changes in tax laws and rates may affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities and the Company’s effective tax rate in the future. Deferred income taxes are measured using the applicable tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates that have been enacted at the reporting date. The Company measured its deferred tax assets and liabilities at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 using the combined federal and state rate (less federal benefit) of 27.3%. The Company establishes a valuation allowance when it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had a valuation allowance of deferred tax assets $0.4 million on tax credits that have limited carryforward periods and may expire prior to the Company being able to utilize them. The Company did not establish a valuation allowance for remaining deferred tax assets as the Company believes it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will realize the benefits of the deferred tax assets. The Company recognized a TRA liability of $52.1 million and $50.7 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, which represents the Company’s estimate of the aggregate amount that it will pay under the TRA, refer to Note 14- Commitments and Contingencies, for further information on the TRA liability.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Escrow Services In conducting its operations, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, LDSS and ACT, routinely hold customers' assets in escrow pending completion of real estate financing transactions. These amounts are maintained in segregated bank accounts and are offset with the related liabilities resulting in no amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The balances held for the Company’s customers totaled $3.6 million and $5.1 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Legal Proceedings The Company is a defendant in, or a party to, legal actions and proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. In some of these actions and proceedings, claims for monetary damages are asserted against the Company. These matters include actions alleging improper lending practices, improper servicing, quiet title actions, improper foreclosure practices, violations of consumer protection laws, etc. and on account of consumer bankruptcies. In many of these actions, the Company may not be the real party of interest (because the Company is not the servicer of the loan or the holder of the note) but it may appear in the pleadings because it is in the chain of title to property over which there may be a dispute. Such matters may be indemnified and managed by the appropriate party, which may be the Company’s subservicer or a former subservicer. In other cases, such as lien avoidance cases brought in bankruptcy, the Company is insured by title insurance, and the case is turned over to the title insurer who tenders the Company’s defense. In some of these actions and proceedings, claims for monetary damages are asserted against the Company. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such legal actions and proceedings, the Company generally cannot predict what the eventual outcome of the pending matters will be, what the timing of the ultimate resolution of these matters will be, or what the eventual loss related to each pending matter may be, if any. The Company seeks to resolve all litigation and regulatory matters in the manner management believes is in the best interest of the Company and contests liability, allegations of wrongdoing, and, where applicable, the amount of damages or scope of any penalties or other relief sought as appropriate in each pending matter. On at least a quarterly basis, the Company assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal and regulatory proceedings utilizing the latest information available. Any estimated loss is subject to significant judgment and is based upon currently available information, a variety of assumptions, and known and unknown uncertainties. Where available information indicates that it is probable a liability has been incurred and the Company can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss, an accrued liability is established. The actual costs of resolving these proceedings may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts accrued. Employment Litigation On December 24, 2020, the Company received a demand letter from one of the senior members of its operations team alleging, among other things, loan origination noncompliance and various employment related claims, including hostile work environment and gender discrimination, with unspecified damages. The executive has since resigned her position with the Company. On September 21, 2021, Plaintiff filed her complaint led with the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Orange and an amended complaint was filed on December 21, 2021. Following some motion practice, on June 30, 2022, the Company filed its answer and affirmative defenses to the amended complaint. The Company deposed the Plaintiff and anticipates filing its Motion for Summary Judgment, or in the Alternative, Summary Adjudication on or before May 17, 2023. The plaintiff seeks damages in excess of $75 million. The Company believes this lawsuit is without merit continues to vigorously defend against it. Discovery in this matter is still ongoing. While the Company’s management does not believe these allegations have merit, defending such allegations has resulted in and will likely continue to result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources. The ultimate outcome of the other legal proceedings is uncertain, and the amount of any future potential loss is not considered probable or estimable. The Company will incur defense costs and other expenses in connection with these legal proceedings. If the final resolution of any legal proceedings is unfavorable, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial condition. Based on the Company’s current understanding of these pending legal actions and proceedings, management does not believe that judgments or settlements arising from pending or threatened legal matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, operating results or cash flows of the Company. However, unfavorable resolutions could affect the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the years in which they are resolved. Regulatory Requirements The Company is subject to various capital requirements by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”); lenders of the warehouse lines of credit; and secondary markets investors. Failure to maintain minimum capital requirements could result in the inability to participate in HUD-assisted mortgage insurance programs, to borrow funds from warehouse line lenders or to sell or service mortgage loans. As of March 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with its selling and servicing capital requirements. Commitments to Extend Credit The Company enters into IRLCs with customers who have applied for residential mortgage loans and meet certain credit and underwriting criteria. These commitments expose the Company to market risk if interest rates change and the loan is not economically hedged or committed to an investor. The Company is also exposed to credit loss if the loan is originated and not sold to an investor and the customer does not perform. The collateral upon extension of credit typically consists of a first deed of trust in the mortgagor’s residential property. Commitments to originate loans do not necessarily reflect future cash requirements as some commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon. Total commitments to originate loans as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 approximated $3.2 billion and $2.2 billion, respectively. These loan commitments are treated as derivatives and are carried at fair value, refer to Note 5- Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities for further information on derivatives. Loan Loss Obligation for Sold Loans When the Company sells mortgage loans, it makes customary representations and warranties to the purchasers about various characteristics of each loan such as the origination and underwriting guidelines, including but not limited to the validity of the lien securing the loan, property eligibility, borrower credit, income and asset requirements, and compliance with applicable federal, state and local law. The Company establishes a loan repurchase reserve for losses associated with repurchase loan obligations if the Company breached a representation or warranty given to the loan purchaser. Additionally, the Company’s loan loss obligation for sold loans includes an estimate for losses associated with early payoffs and early payment defaults. There have been charge-offs associated with early payoffs, early payment defaults and losses related to representations, warranties, and other provisions for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The activity related to the loan loss obligation for sold loans is as follows: Three Months Ended 2023 2022 Balance at beginning of period $ 70,797 $ 29,877 Provision for loan loss obligations 9,674 13,246 Charge-offs (14,801) (1,964) Balance at end of period $ 65,670 $ 41,159 Obligation for Sold MSRs The Company recognizes sales of mortgage servicing rights as sales if title passes, if substantially all risks and rewards of ownership have irrevocably passed to the purchaser, and any protection provisions retained by the Company are minor and can be reasonably estimated. If a sale is recognized and only minor protection provisions exist, a liability for the estimated obligation associated with those provisions is recorded in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company establishes a reserve related to the reimbursement of the purchase price for any loans that are prepaid in full within 90 days of the MSR sale transaction. The obligation for sold MSRs was $0.8 million and $1.1 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. TRA Liability The Company recognized a TRA liability of $52.1 million and $50.7 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, which represents the Company’s estimate of the aggregate amount that it will pay under the TRA as a result of the offering transaction.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Consolidation	Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP as codified in the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC” or the “Codification”). In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. loanDepot, Inc. is a holding company, its sole material asset is its equity interest in LD Holdings and as the sole managing member of LD Holdings, loanDepot, Inc. indirectly operates and controls all of LD Holdings’ business and affairs. LD Holdings is also a holding company and has no material assets other than its equity interests in its direct subsidiaries consisting of a 99.99% ownership in LDLLC (the majority asset of the group), and 100% equity ownership in ART, LDSS, Mello, and MCS. The financial results of LD Holdings and its subsidiaries are consolidated with loanDepot, Inc., and the consolidated net earnings or loss are allocated to noncontrolling interest to reflect the entitlement of certain members that still hold Class A holdings units (“Holdco Units”) and Class C common stock, (“Continuing LLC Members”) as of the periods presented. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all of the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the Company and consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. VIEs are entities that have a total equity investment at risk that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, whose equity investors at risk lack the ability to control the entity's activities, or is structured with non-substantive voting rights. The Company evaluates its associations with VIEs, both at inception and when there is a change in circumstance that requires reconsideration, to determine if the Company is the primary beneficiary and consolidation is required. A primary beneficiary is defined as a variable interest holder that has a controlling financial interest. A controlling financial interest requires both: (a) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits of a VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company has not provided financial or other support during the periods presented to any VIE that it was not previously contractually required to provide. Other entities that the Company does not consolidate, but for which it has significant influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for using the equity method. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has evaluated subsequent events for recognition or disclosure through the date of this report and has not identified any recordable or disclosable events that were not already reported in these consolidated financial statements or notes thereto.

Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Management has made significant estimates in certain areas, including determining the fair value of loans held for sale, servicing rights, derivative assets and derivative liabilities, trading securities, awards granted under the incentive equity plan, determining the loan loss obligation on sold loans and MSRs. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentration of Risk	Concentration of Risk The Company has concentrated its credit risk for cash by maintaining deposits in several financial institutions, which may at times exceed amounts covered by insurance provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk related to cash. Due to the nature of the mortgage lending industry, changes in interest rates may significantly impact revenue from originating mortgages and subsequent sales of loans to investors, which are the primary source of income for the Company. The Company originates mortgage loans on property located throughout the United States, with loans originated for property located in California totaling approximately 17% of total loan originations for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company sells mortgage loans to various third-party investors. Three investors accounted for 11%, 29%, and 33% of the Company’s loan sales for the three months ended March 31, 2023. No other investors accounted for more than 5% of the loan sales for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
