Variable Interest Entities [Abstract] |
Variable Interest Entities | Variable Interest Entities The Company’s variable interest in VIEs currently are in the form of equity ownership and loans provided by the Company to a VIE or other partner. The Company examines specific criteria and uses its judgment when determining if the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The primary beneficiary generally is defined as the party with the controlling financial interest. Consideration of various factors include, but are not limited to, the Company’s ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and its obligation to absorb losses from or right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Consolidated VIE As of December 31, 2018, the Company does not have any investments in consolidated VIEs. Unconsolidated VIE At December 31, 2018, the Company’s recorded investment in two mortgage notes which are unconsolidated VIEs totaled $184.1 million. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss associated with these VIEs is limited to the Company’s outstanding mortgage notes and related accrued interest receivable of $184.1 million. These mortgage notes are secured by three recreation properties and one public charter school. In addition, at December 31, 2018, the Company had $29.5 million recorded investments in unconsolidated VIEs through joint ventures that own two recreation anchored lodging properties. The Company accounts for these investments in joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. The Company's maximum exposure to loss at December 31, 2018, is its investment in the joint ventures of $29.5 million. See Note 8 for further discussion related to the Company's unconsolidated real estate joint ventures. While these entities are VIEs, the Company has determined that the power to direct the activities of these VIEs that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance is not held by the Company.
