In connection with a litigation settlement related to this investment, we provided a guaranty of up to 50% of any amounts payable in connection with the settlement. ACM has also provided us with a guaranty to pay up to 50% of any amounts we may pay under this guaranty. As of September 30, 2018, our maximum exposure under this guaranty totals $2.3 million. We have not accrued this amount as we do not believe that we will be required to make any nonrefundable payments under this guaranty. See Note 8-Investments in Equity Affiliates for details. In 2014, we invested $0.1 million for a 5% interest in a joint venture that owns two multifamily properties. The joint venture is comprised of a consortium of investors (which includes, among other unaffiliated investors, certain of our officers, our chief executive officer and certain other related parties) which owns a 95% interest. We had a $1.7 million bridge loan to the joint venture with an interest rate of 5.5% over LIBOR. The loan was repaid in full in the fourth quarter of 2017.

In 2014, we originated a $30.4 million bridge loan for an office property owned in part by a consortium of investors (which includes, among other unaffiliated investors, our chief executive officer and his affiliates) which owns a 24% interest in the borrowing entity. The loan matured in August 2017 and was refinanced with a $43.2 million bridge loan that has an interest rate of 4% over LIBOR with a LIBOR floor of 1.23% and matures in August 2020. We also originated a $4.6 million mezzanine loan in 2016 to this entity that had a fixed interest rate of 12%, which was repaid in full at maturity in August 2017. In the fourth quarter of 2017, the consortium of investors sold their ownership interest in the borrowing entity. Interest income recorded from these loans totaled $0.8 million and $2.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. In 2014, ACM purchased a property subject to two loans originated by us, a first mortgage of $14.6 million and a second mortgage of $5.1 million, both with maturity dates of April 2016 and an interest rate of 4.8% over LIBOR. In 2016, the $5.1 million second mortgage was repaid in full and the $14.6 million first mortgage was extended to April 2018 and paid off at maturity. Interest income recorded from these loans totaled $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and $0.2 million and $0.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. We, along with an executive officer of ours and a consortium of independent outside investors, hold equity investments in a portfolio of multifamily properties referred to as the Lexford Portfolio (“Lexford”), which is managed by an entity owned primarily by a consortium of affiliated investors, including our chief executive officer and an executive officer of ours. Based on the terms of the management contract, the management company is entitled to 4.75% of gross revenues of the underlying properties, along with the potential to share in the proceeds of a sale or restructuring of the debt. In June 2018, the owners of Lexford restructured part of its debt and we originated twelve bridge loans totaling $280.5 million, which were used to repay in full certain existing mortgage debt and to renovate 72 multifamily properties included in the portfolio. The loans which we originated in June 2018 have interest rates of 400 basis points over LIBOR and mature in June 2021 (with 2 one-year extension options). Interest income recorded from these loans totaled $4.4 million and $5.5 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. Further, as part of this June 2018 restructuring, $50.0 million in unsecured financing was provided by an unsecured lender to certain parent entities of the property owners. ACM owns slightly less than half of the unsecured lender entity and, therefore, provided slightly less than half of the unsecured lender financing. In addition, in connection with our equity investment, we received distributions totaling $0.7 million during both the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 and $1.9 million and $2.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which were recorded as (loss) income from equity affiliates. Separate from loans which we originated in June 2018, we provide limited ("bad boy") guarantees for certain other debt controlled by Lexford. The bad boy guarantees may become a liability for us upon standard "bad" acts such as fraud or a material misrepresentation by Lexford or us. At September 30, 2018, this debt had an aggregate outstanding balance of $307.9 million and is scheduled to mature between 2019 and 2025. Several of our executives, including our chief financial officer, general counsel and our chairman, chief executive officer and president, hold similar positions for ACM. Our chief executive officer and his affiliated entities (“the Kaufman Entities”) together beneficially own approximately 75% of the outstanding membership interests of ACM and certain of our employees and directors also hold an ownership interest in ACM. Furthermore, one of our directors serves as the trustee and co-trustee of two of the Kaufman Entities that hold membership interests in ACM. Upon the closing of the Acquisition in 2016, we issued 21,230,769 OP Units, each paired with one share of our Special Voting Preferred Shares. In December 2017 and August 2018, ACM distributed 5,780,348 and 577,185 OP Units, respectively, to its members, which include the Kaufman Entities and certain of our officers and employees. At September 30, 2018, ACM holds 5,349,053 shares of our common stock and 14,873,236 OP Units, which represents 21.0% of the voting power of our outstanding stock. Our Board of Directors approved a resolution under our charter allowing our chief executive officer and ACM, (which our chief executive officer has a controlling equity interest in), to own more than the 5% ownership interest limit of our common stock as stated in our amended charter.

Interest income recorded from this loan totaled $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.

In 2015, we originated two bridge loans totaling $16.7 million secured by multifamily properties acquired by a third party investor. The properties were owned and were sold in part by a consortium of investors (which includes, among other unaffiliated investors, certain of our officers, our chief executive officer and certain other related parties). The loans have an interest rate of LIBOR plus 5% with a LIBOR floor of 0.25% and were scheduled to mature in October 2018. One of the loans paid off in full in September 2018 and the remaining loan was extended to November 2018. Interest income recorded from these loans totaled $0.3 million and $1.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and $0.3 million and $0.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.

In 2015, we originated a $3.0 million mezzanine loan on a multifamily property that had a $47.0 million first mortgage initially originated by ACM. The loan bore interest at a fixed rate of 12.5% and was scheduled to mature in April 2025. In January 2018, this loan paid off in full. Interest income recorded from this loan totaled $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.

In 2015, we invested $9.6 million for 50% of ACM's indirect interest in a joint venture with a third party that was formed to invest in a residential mortgage banking business. As a result of this transaction, we had an initial indirect interest of 22.5% in this entity. Since the initial investment, we invested an additional $16.1 million through this joint venture in non-qualified residential mortgages purchased from the mortgage banking business’s origination platform and we received cash distributions totaling $16.9 million (that were classified as returns of capital) as a result of the joint venture selling most of its mortgage assets (which $0.7 million was received in the nine months ended September 30, 2018). We recorded income from these investments of $0.4 million and $1.2 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and a loss of $1.2 million and $1.8 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. In connection with a litigation settlement related to this investment, we provided a guaranty of up to 50% of any amounts payable in connection with the settlement. ACM has also provided us with a guaranty to pay up to 50% of any amounts we may pay under this guaranty. As of September 30, 2018, our maximum exposure under this guaranty totals $2.3 million. We have not accrued this amount as we do not believe that we will be required to make any nonrefundable payments under this guaranty. See Note 8-Investments in Equity Affiliates for details.

In 2014, we invested $0.1 million for a 5% interest in a joint venture that owns two multifamily properties. The joint venture is comprised of a consortium of investors (which includes, among other unaffiliated investors, certain of our officers, our chief executive officer and certain other related parties) which owns a 95% interest. We had a $1.7 million bridge loan to the joint venture with an interest rate of 5.5% over LIBOR. The loan was repaid in full in the fourth quarter of 2017. Interest income recorded from this loan was less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.

In 2014, we originated a $30.4 million bridge loan for an office property owned in part by a consortium of investors (which includes, among other unaffiliated investors, our chief executive officer and his affiliates) which owns a 24% interest in the borrowing entity. The loan matured in August 2017 and was refinanced with a $43.2 million bridge loan that has an interest rate of 4% over LIBOR with a LIBOR floor of 1.23% and matures in August 2020. We also originated a $4.6 million mezzanine loan in 2016 to this entity that had a fixed interest rate of 12%, which was repaid in full at maturity in August 2017. In the fourth quarter of 2017, the consortium of investors sold their ownership interest in the borrowing entity. Interest income recorded from these loans totaled $0.8 million and $2.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.

In 2014, ACM purchased a property subject to two loans originated by us, a first mortgage of $14.6 million and a second mortgage of $5.1 million, both with maturity dates of April 2016 and an interest rate of 4.8% over LIBOR. In 2016, the $5.1 million second mortgage was repaid in full and the $14.6 million first mortgage was extended to April 2018 and paid off at maturity. Interest income recorded from these loans totaled $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and $0.2 million and $0.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.

We, along with an executive officer of ours and a consortium of independent outside investors, hold equity investments in a portfolio of multifamily properties referred to as the Lexford Portfolio (“Lexford”), which is managed by an entity owned primarily by a consortium of affiliated investors, including our chief executive officer and an executive officer of ours. Based on the terms of the management contract, the management company is entitled to 4.75% of gross revenues of the underlying properties, along with the potential to share in the proceeds of a sale or restructuring of the debt. In June 2018, the owners of Lexford restructured part of its debt and we originated twelve bridge loans totaling $280.5 million, which were used to repay in full certain existing mortgage debt and to renovate 72 multifamily properties included in the portfolio. The loans which we originated in June 2018 have interest rates of 400 basis points over LIBOR and mature in June 2021 (with 2 one-year extension options). Interest income recorded from these loans totaled $4.4 million and $5.5 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. Further, as part of this June 2018 restructuring, $50.0 million in unsecured financing was provided by an unsecured lender to certain parent entities of the property owners. ACM owns slightly less than half of the unsecured lender entity and, therefore, provided slightly less than half of the unsecured lender financing. In addition, in connection with our equity investment, we received distributions totaling $0.7 million during both the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 and $1.9 million and $2.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which were recorded as (loss) income from equity affiliates. Separate from loans which we originated in June 2018, we provide limited ("bad boy") guarantees for certain other debt controlled by Lexford. The bad boy guarantees may become a liability for us upon standard "bad" acts such as fraud or a material misrepresentation by Lexford or us. At September 30, 2018, this debt had an aggregate outstanding balance of $307.9 million and is scheduled to mature between 2019 and 2025.

Several of our executives, including our chief financial officer, general counsel and our chairman, chief executive officer and president, hold similar positions for ACM. Our chief executive officer and his affiliated entities (“the Kaufman Entities”) together beneficially own approximately 75% of the outstanding membership interests of ACM and certain of our employees and directors also hold an ownership interest in ACM. Furthermore, one of our directors serves as the trustee and co-trustee of two of the Kaufman Entities that hold membership interests in ACM. Upon the closing of the Acquisition in 2016, we issued 21,230,769 OP Units, each paired with one share of our Special Voting Preferred Shares. In December 2017 and August 2018, ACM distributed 5,780,348 and 577,185 OP Units, respectively, to its members, which include the Kaufman Entities and certain of our officers and employees. At September 30, 2018, ACM holds 5,349,053 shares of our common stock and 14,873,236 OP Units, which represents 21.0% of the voting power of our outstanding stock. Our Board of Directors approved a resolution under our charter allowing our chief executive officer and ACM, (which our chief executive officer has a controlling equity interest in), to own more than the 5% ownership interest limit of our common stock as stated in our amended charter.
