Mortgages Payable

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we made $18.1 million in principal payments, including the repayment of three mortgages in full for $17.2 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we made $1.7 million in principal payments. No mortgages were assumed during the three months ended March 31, 2021 or 2020. Assumed mortgages are secured by the properties on which the debt was placed and are considered non-recourse debt with limited customary exceptions for items such as solvency, bankruptcy, misrepresentation, fraud, misapplication of payments, environmental liabilities, failure to pay taxes, insurance premiums, liens on the property, violations of the single purpose entity requirements, and uninsured losses.

Our mortgages contain customary covenants, such as limiting our ability to further mortgage each applicable property or to discontinue insurance coverage without the prior consent of the lender. At March 31, 2021, we were in compliance with these covenants.

The balance of our deferred financing costs, which are classified as part of mortgages payable, net, on our consolidated balance sheets, was $907,000 at March 31, 2021 and $973,000 at December 31, 2020. These costs are being amortized over the remaining term of each mortgage.
