Debt Disclosure [Abstract]  
Debt Debt
During the second quarter of 2022, we redeemed the outstanding $600,000 principal amount of 3.95% Senior Notes due September 15, 2022, at par, plus accrued interest.
As of December 31, 2022, we had the following debt instruments outstanding:
3.00% Senior Notes due 2030 ("2030 Senior Notes")
On May 4, 2020, we issued $600,000 of the 2030 Senior Notes. The 2030 Senior Notes were issued at a discount to yield 3.02% and have been reflected net of the unamortized discount and unamortized debt issuance costs in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The offering of the 2030 Senior Notes resulted in aggregate net proceeds of approximately $595,200, after deducting underwriting discount and offering expenses. The 2030 Senior Notes mature on May 15, 2030 and bear interest at 3.00%, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the unamortized discount was $871 and $975, respectively, and unamortized debt issuance costs were $2,664 and $3,025, respectively.
On September 9 and September 17, 2020, we issued an additional $250,000 and $50,000, respectively, of the 2030 Senior Notes (the "2030 Additional Notes" and together with the 2030 Senior Notes , the "Senior Notes"). The 2030 Additional Notes were issued at a premium to yield 2.00% and have been reflected net of the unamortized premium and unamortized debt issuance costs in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The offering of the 2030 Additional Notes resulted in aggregate net proceeds of approximately $323,600, including the underwriting premium, less offering expenses. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the 2030 Additional Notes unamortized premium was $19,518 and $21,945, respectively, and unamortized debt issuance costs were $1,095 and $1,243, respectively.
The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with any of our existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness, will rank senior in right of payment to any of our future indebtedness that is by its terms expressly subordinated to the Senior Notes and will be effectively subordinated to any of our existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness. The indenture governing the Senior Notes has, among other items, and subject to certain exceptions, covenants that restrict our ability to create, incur, assume or guarantee secured debt, enter into sale and leaseback transactions and conditions related to mergers and/or the sale of assets. We were in compliance with all covenants under the Senior Notes at December 31, 2022.
Credit Agreement
On February 12, 2021, we entered into The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, BOFA Securities, Inc. as Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Bookrunner, and other lenders party thereto (the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement provides for aggregate revolving loan commitments of $300,000 (the "Facility"). Under the Credit Agreement, we may request increases of up to $300,000 to the Facility in the form of revolving loan commitments or term loans to the extent that new or existing lenders agree to provide additional revolving loan or term loan commitments. In addition, the Credit Agreement provides for a $100,000 sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit of which approximately $11,000 was outstanding at December 31, 2022.
Effective December 9, 2022, we entered into the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Amended Credit Agreement") which primarily replaces LIBOR based borrowing rates with SOFR as defined in the amendment. Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement generally bear interest for Base Rate Loans at a Base Rate equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus one-half of one percent, (b) Bank of America’s publicly announced “prime rate,” (c) one percent or (d) Term SOFR plus 100 basis points.   
The Amended Credit Agreement contains various representations and affirmative and negative covenants that are generally customary for credit facilities of this type. Such covenants include, among others, the following financial maintenance covenants: (i) minimum consolidated tangible net worth; (ii) minimum interest coverage ratio or minimum liquidity and (iii) a maximum leverage ratio. The negative covenants include, among others, certain limitations on liens, investments and fundamental changes. The Amended Credit Agreement termination date is February 12, 2026. We were in compliance with all covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement at December 31, 2022.  There was no debt outstanding under the Facility at December 31, 2022. The Amended Credit Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.37 in this Form 10-K. The above summary of the material terms of the Amended Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 10.37.
Repurchase Agreement
In July 2022, NVRM entered into The Second Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement with U.S. Bank National Association, as Agent and a Buyer (the "Repurchase Agreement"), which replaced our prior repurchase agreement in its entirety. The Repurchase Agreement provides for loan purchases up to $150,000, subject to certain sub-limits.
Advances under the Repurchase Agreement bear interest at the secured overnight financing rate published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("SOFR") plus the SOFR Margin of 1.70%, per annum, provided that the Pricing Rate shall not be less than 1.70%. The Pricing Rate at December 31, 2022 was 6.06%. There are several restrictions on purchased loans, including that they cannot be sold to others, they cannot be pledged to anyone other than the agent, and they cannot support any other borrowing or repurchase agreement. Amounts outstanding under the Repurchase Agreement are collateralized by our mortgage loans held for sale. At December 31, 2022, there were no borrowing base limitations reducing the amount available under the Repurchase Agreement. As of both December 31, 2022 and 2021, there was no debt outstanding under the Repurchase Agreement. The Repurchase Agreement expires on July 19, 2023.
The Repurchase Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants. The negative covenants include, among others, certain limitations on transactions involving acquisitions, mergers, the incurrence of debt, sale of assets and creation of liens upon any of its Mortgage Notes. Additional covenants include (i) a tangible net worth requirement, (ii) a minimum liquidity requirement, (iii) a minimum net income requirement, and (iv) a maximum leverage ratio requirement. NVRM was in compliance with all covenants under the Repurchase Agreement at December 31, 2022.
