Guarantees [Abstract] |
Guarantees [Text Block] | Guarantees and Indemnifications In the ordinary course of business, M/I Financial, a 100%-owned subsidiary of M/I Homes, Inc., enters into agreements that guarantee certain purchasers of its mortgage loans that M/I Financial will repurchase a loan if certain conditions occur, primarily if the mortgagor does not meet the terms of the loan within the first six months after the sale of the loan. Loans totaling approximately $60.6 million and $46.8 million were covered under these guarantees as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The increase in loans covered by these guarantees from December 31, 2017 is a result of a change in the mix of investors and their related purchase terms. A portion of the revenue paid to M/I Financial for providing the guarantees on these loans was deferred at June 30, 2018, and will be recognized in income as M/I Financial is released from its obligation under the guarantees. The risk associated with the guarantees above is offset by the value of the underlying assets. M/I Financial has received inquiries concerning underwriting matters from purchasers of its loans regarding certain loans totaling approximately $0.6 million and $1.2 million at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. M/I Financial has also guaranteed the collectability of certain loans to third party insurers (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Veterans Administration) of those loans for periods ranging from five to thirty years. As of both June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the total of all loans indemnified to third party insurers relating to the above agreements was $1.3 million. The maximum potential amount of future payments is equal to the outstanding loan value less the value of the underlying asset plus administrative costs incurred related to foreclosure on the loans, should this event occur. The Company recorded a liability relating to the guarantees described above totaling $0.6 million and $0.8 million at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, which is management’s best estimate of the Company’s liability.
