Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract] |
Investments In unconsolidated entities | Investments in unconsolidated entities We participate in a number of joint ventures and other investments with independent third parties. These entities generally purchase, develop, and sell land, including selling land to us for use in our homebuilding operations. Our investments in such entities totaled $35.6 million and $59.8 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. In 2020, 2019, and 2018, we recognized earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures of $1.9 million, $0.7 million, and $2.7 million, respectively. We received distributions from our unconsolidated joint ventures of $27.9 million, $5.1 million, and $12.1 million, in 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. We made capital contributions to our unconsolidated joint ventures of $0.8 million, $9.5 million, and $1.0 million in 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. The timing of cash flows related to a joint venture and any related financing agreements varies by agreement. If additional capital contributions are required and approved by the joint venture, we would need to contribute our pro rata portion of those capital needs in order to not dilute our ownership in the joint ventures. While future capital contributions may be required, we believe the total amount of such contributions will be limited. Our maximum financial exposure related to joint ventures is unlikely to exceed the combined investment and limited recourse guaranty totals.
