| August 31, 2024 |  | November 30, 2023
(In thousands) | Investments in Unconsolidated VIEs |  | Lennar’s Maximum Exposure to Loss |  | Investments in Unconsolidated VIEs |  | Lennar’s Maximum Exposure to Loss
Homebuilding (1) | $ | 782,772 |  |  | 854,782 |  |  | 659,224 |  |  | 787,226 |
Multifamily (2) | 132,897 |  |  | 136,702 |  |  | 384,718 |  |  | 402,735 |
Financial Services (3) | 138,045 |  |  | 138,045 |  |  | 140,676 |  |  | 140,676 |

(1)As of August 31, 2024 and November 30, 2023, the Company's maximum exposure to loss of Homebuilding's investments in unconsolidated VIEs was limited to its investments in unconsolidated VIEs, except with regard to the Company's remaining commitment to fund capital in Upward America of $20.7 million and $69.8 million, respectively. In addition, as of August 31, 2024 and November 30, 2023, there was recourse debt of VIEs of $44.2 million and $42.1 million, respectively. (2)As of August 31, 2024 and November 30, 2023, the Company's maximum exposure to loss of Multifamily's investments in unconsolidated VIEs was primarily limited to its investments in the unconsolidated VIEs. The maximum exposure for LMV II, in addition to the investment, also included the remaining combined equity commitment of $12.8 million as of November 30, 2023, for expenditures related to the construction and development of its projects. The decrease in exposure as of August 31, 2024 is primarily due to the removal of LMV II as the Fund does not expect to call for equity in the future. As a result, LMV II is not a VIE as of August 31, 2024. (3)As of both August 31, 2024 and November 30, 2023, the Company's maximum exposure to loss of the Financial Services segment was limited to its investment in the unconsolidated VIEs and related to the Financial Services' CMBS investments held-to-maturity. (4)As of both August 31, 2024 and November 30, 2023, the Company's maximum recourse exposure to loss of the Lennar Other segment was limited to its investments in the unconsolidated VIEs. The increase in exposure was due to the Company entering into a new JV which is a VIE and its continued contributions to VIEs. The Company's exposure to losses on its option contracts with third parties and unconsolidated entities was as follows:
(Dollars in thousands) | August 31, 2024 |  | November 30, 2023
Non-refundable option deposits and pre-acquisition costs | $ | 2,890,534 |  |  | 1,949,219 |
Non-refundable option deposits included in consolidated inventory not owned | 498,721 |  |  | 451,632 |
Letters of credit in lieu of cash deposits under certain land and option contracts | 307,678 |  |  | 198,920 |

- Definition Tabular disclosure of the significant judgments and assumptions made in determining whether a variable interest (as defined) held by the entity requires the variable interest entity (VIE) (as defined) to be consolidated and (or) disclose information about its involvement with the VIE, individually or in aggregate (as applicable); the nature of restrictions, if any, on the consolidated VIE's assets and on the settlement of its liabilities reported by an entity in its statement of financial position, including the carrying amounts of such assets and liabilities; the nature of, and changes in, the risks associated with involvement in the VIE; how involvement with the VIE affects the entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; the lack of recourse if creditors (or beneficial interest holders) of the consolidated VIE have no recourse to the general credit of the primary beneficiary (if applicable); the terms of arrangements, giving consideration to both explicit arrangements and implicit variable interests, if any, that could require the entity to provide financial support to the VIE, including events or circumstances that could expose the entity to a loss; the methodology used by the entity for determining whether or not it is the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity; the significant factors considered and judgments made in determining that the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance are shared (as defined); the carrying amounts and classification of assets and liabilities of the VIE included in the statement of financial position; the entity's maximum exposure to loss, if any, as a result of its involvement with the VIE, including how the maximum exposure is determined and significant sources of the entity's exposure to the VIE; a comparison of the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities and the entity's maximum exposure to loss; information about any liquidity arrangements, guarantees, and (or) other commitments by third parties that may affect the fair value or risk of the entity's variable interest in the VIE; whether or not the entity has provided financial support or other support (explicitly or implicitly) to the VIE that it was not previously contractually required to provide or whether the entity intends to provide that support, including the type and amount of the support and the primary reasons for providing the support; and supplemental information the entity determines necessary to provide. + References Reference 1: http://fasb.org/us-gaap/role/ref/legacyRef -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 810 -SubTopic 10 -Section 50 -Paragraph 3 -Publisher FASB -URI https://asc.fasb.org//1943274/2147481203/810-10-50-3 Reference 2: http://fasb.org/us-gaap/role/ref/legacyRef -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 810 -SubTopic 10 -Section 50 -Paragraph 5A -Publisher FASB -URI https://asc.fasb.org//1943274/2147481203/810-10-50-5A Reference 3: http://fasb.org/us-gaap/role/ref/legacyRef -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 810 -SubTopic 10 -Section 50 -Paragraph 9 -Publisher FASB -URI https://asc.fasb.org//1943274/2147481203/810-10-50-9 Reference 4: http://fasb.org/us-gaap/role/ref/legacyRef -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 810 -SubTopic 10 -Section 50 -Paragraph 4 -Publisher FASB -URI https://asc.fasb.org//1943274/2147481203/810-10-50-4 Reference 5: http://fasb.org/us-gaap/role/ref/legacyRef -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 810 -SubTopic 10 -Section 50 -Paragraph 6 -Publisher FASB -URI https://asc.fasb.org//1943274/2147481203/810-10-50-6 + Details
