Deferred tax asset, net	$	1,989	$	2,328

We recognize a valuation allowance on our deferred tax asset if we believe all or some portion of the asset may not be realized. An increase or decrease in the valuation allowance resulting from a change in circumstances that causes a change in our judgment about the realizability of our deferred tax asset is included in income. We believe it is more likely than not that the results of future operations in our TRS will generate sufficient taxable income to realize our December 31, 2020 net deferred tax asset.
