Fair Value Disclosures

All financial instruments of the Company are reflected in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at amounts which, in management’s judgment, reasonably approximate their fair values, except those instruments listed below:



	September 30, 2017				December 31, 2016
	Carrying Amounts		Fair Value		Carrying Amounts		Fair Value
	Carrying Amounts		Fair Value		Carrying Amounts		Fair Value
Secured loans	$	932,589	$	989,296	$	1,337,094	$	1,410,698
Notes payable	3,181,182		3,231,275		2,291,954		2,302,048
Unsecured Credit Facility and Term Loans	1,599,917		1,611,802		2,209,841		2,223,807
Total debt obligations, net	$	5,713,688	$	5,832,373	$	5,838,889	$	5,936,553

As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, a fair value hierarchy is included in GAAP that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs that are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The valuation methodology used to estimate the fair value of the Company’s debt obligations is based on a discounted cash flow analysis, with assumptions that include credit spreads, estimated property values, loan amounts and debt maturities. The Company determined that the valuations of its debt obligations are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Such fair value estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized upon disposition.

Recurring Fair Value

The Company’s marketable securities and interest rate derivatives are measured and recognized at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of marketable securities are based primarily on publicly traded market values in active markets and are classified within Level 1 or 2 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 6 for fair value information regarding the Company's interest rate derivatives.

The following table presents the placement in the fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value on a recurring basis:



	Fair Value Measurements as of September 30, 2017

Non-Recurring Fair Value

On a non-recurring basis, the Company evaluates the carrying value of its properties when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Fair value is determined by purchase price offers, market comparable data, third party appraisals or by discounted cash flow analysis using the income approach. These cash flows are comprised of unobservable inputs which include forecasted rental revenue and expenses based upon market conditions and future expectations. Capitalization rates and discount rates utilized in these models are based upon unobservable rates that we believe to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the respective properties. Based on these inputs, the Company has determined that the valuation of these properties is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following table presents the placement in the fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The table includes information related to properties remeasured to fair value as a result of impairment testing:



	Fair Value Measurements as of September 30, 2017

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized $15.3 million of impairment based upon offers from third party buyers and $12.1 million of impairment based upon a discounted cash flow analysis. The discounted cash flow analysis included all estimated cash inflows and outflows over a specified holding period. These cash flows were comprised of unobservable inputs which include forecasted revenues and expenses based upon market conditions and future expectations. The capitalization rates (ranging from 7.0% to 8.5%) and discount rates (ranging from 7.9% to 9.5%) which were utilized in the analysis were based upon unobservable rates that the Company believes to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for each respective investment.
