12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2022

Carrying amounts and fair values of financial instruments that are not carried at fair value at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 in the Consolidated Balance Sheets are as follows ($ in thousands):


	Carrying Amount				Fair Value Measurement
	2022		2021		2022		2021
Level 2
Variable rate debt	$	277,699	$	373,682	$	282,000	$	375,000
Fixed rate debt	$	869,812	$	869,201	$	773,994	$	858,124

Level 3
Mortgage and other notes receivable, net	$	233,141	$	299,952	$	227,611	$	314,821

Fixed rate debt. Fixed rate debt is classified as Level 2 and its value is based on quoted prices for similar instruments or calculated utilizing model derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable in active markets.

Mortgage and other notes receivable. The fair value of mortgage and other notes receivable is based on credit risk and discount rates that are not observable in the marketplace and therefore represents a Level 3 measurement.

Carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The fair values of our borrowings under our revolving credit facility and other variable rate debt are reasonably estimated at their notional amounts at December 31, 2022 and 2021, due to the predominance of floating interest rates, which generally reflect market conditions.
