modified in a Troubled Debt Restructuring ("TDR"), where economic concessions have been granted to borrowers who have experienced or are expected to experience financial difficulties. These concessions typically result from the Company’s loss mitigation activities and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance, or other actions. Certain TDRs are classified as non-performing at the time of restructure and may only be returned to performing status after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period, generally six months . TDRs are evaluated individually for impairment and may result in a specific allowance amount allocated to an individual loan. The following tables include the recorded investment and number of modifications identified during the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 , 2018 and 2017 , respectively. The table includes the recorded investment in the loans prior to a modification and also the recorded investment in the loans after the loans were restructured. Modifications may include adjustments to interest rates, payment amounts, extensions of maturity, court ordered concessions or other actions intended to minimize economic loss and avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral.

Foreclosure As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company maintained bank-owned residential real estate property with a fair value of $2.2 million and $2.4 million , respectively. Additionally, residential mortgage loans collateralized by real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 totaled $810 thousand and $1.5 million , respectively.

At December 31, 2019 the largest industry concentration outside of commercial real estate was the hospitality industry which represents 8.6% or $227.0 million of the Company's total loan portfolio, compared with 9.0% or $223.0 million at December 31, 2018 . There were no concentrations of loans related to any single industry in excess of 10% of total loans for 2019 or 2018 . Loans to Related Parties In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has made loans at prevailing rates and terms to directors, officers and other related parties.
