REAL ESTATE |
9. REAL ESTATE
Real estate investments are carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Historical cost includes all costs necessary to bring the asset to the condition and location necessary for its intended use, including financing during the construction period. Costs directly related to acquisitions deemed to be business combinations are expensed. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Major replacements and improvements that extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated over their useful life. Real estate investments are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, summarized as follows:
Category | Term
Building and building improvements | 1 - 44 years
Furniture and fixtures | 1 - 4 years
There was no real estate acquired in settlement of residential mortgage loans at March 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018 other than real estate held by securitization trusts that the Company was required to consolidate. The Company would be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a residential mortgage loan, so that the loan is derecognized and the real estate property would be recognized, if either (i) the Company obtains legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (ii) the borrower conveys all interest in the residential real estate property to the Company to satisfy the loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Real estate investments, including REO, that do not meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale are separately presented in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as held for investment. Real estate held for sale is reported at the lower of its carrying value or its estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell. Once a property is determined to be held for sale, depreciation is no longer recorded. The Company’s real estate portfolio (REO and real estate held for investment) is reviewed on a quarterly basis, or more frequently as necessary, to assess whether there are any indicators that the value of its operating real estate may be impaired or that its carrying value may not be recoverable. A property’s value is considered impaired if the Company’s estimate of the aggregate future undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the property is less than the carrying value of the property. In conducting this review, the Company considers U.S. macroeconomic factors, including real estate sector conditions, together with asset specific and other factors. To the extent impairment has occurred and is considered to be other than temporary, the loss will be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the calculated fair value of the property. The Company acquired real estate holdings in connection with the MTGE Acquisition during the year ended December 31, 2018; refer to the “Acquisition of MTGE Investment Corp.” Note for additional information. There were no acquisitions of new real estate holdings during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The company sold one of its wholly owned triple net leased properties during the three months ended March 31, 2019 for $6.7 million and recognized a gain on sale of $2.7 million. The weighted average amortization period for intangible assets and liabilities at March 31, 2019 is 5.0 years. Above market leases and leasehold intangible assets are included in Intangible assets, net and below market leases are included in Other liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
