Related Party Transactions [Abstract] |
Agreements and Transactions with Related Parties | Agreements and Transactions with Related Parties Support Agreement and Employee Secondment Agreement. We have a support agreement and a secondment agreement with ACM and certain of its affiliates and certain affiliates of a relative of our chief executive officer (“Service Recipients”) where we provide support services and seconded employees to the Service Recipients. The Service Recipients reimburse us for the costs of performing such services and the cost of the seconded employees. During both the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we incurred $0.9 million of costs for services provided and employees seconded to the Service Recipients, all of which are reimbursable to us and included in due from related party on the consolidated balance sheets. Other Related Party Transactions. Due from related party was $35.3 million and $6.5 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, which consisted primarily of amounts due from our affiliated servicing operations related to real estate transactions closing at the end of the quarter and amounts due from ACM for costs incurred in connection with the support and secondment agreements described above. Due to related party was $1.8 million and $0.5 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and consisted of loan settlements, holdbacks and escrows to be remitted to our affiliated servicing operations related to real estate transactions. Investments in equity affiliates, which represent related parties under GAAP, and their related disclosures, are included in Note 8. In certain instances, our business requires our executives to utilize privately owned aircraft in furtherance of our business. We have an aircraft time-sharing agreement with an entity controlled by our chief executive officer that owns a private aircraft. Pursuant to the agreement, we reimburse the aircraft owner for the required costs under Federal Aviation Administration regulations for the flights our executives’ take. For certain flights, we also charter the aircraft from a certificated air carrier for use of the same aircraft. The air carrier provides charter revenue back to the aircraft owner when we use the aircraft. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we reimbursed the aircraft owner $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for flights taken by our executives pursuant the time-sharing agreement. There were no charter flights taken in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. In November 2025, we originated a $67.9 million bridge loan for the acquisition of a multifamily property purchased by a joint venture we formed with ACM, an entity owned by an immediate family member of our chief executive officer and a consortium of independent outside investors, we refer to as "Clarus Berkley," which was formed to purchase and operate the property. We contributed $1.5 million, for a 3.6% interest in the borrowing entity, while ACM and the entity owned by an immediate family member of our chief executive officer contributed a combined $1.8 million for a 4.3% interest in the borrowing entity. The loan has an interest rate of SOFR plus 2.50% with a SOFR floor of 2.50% and matures in November 2028. Interest income recorded from this loan was $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. See Note 8 for further details. In November 2025, we committed to fund a $44.8 million bridge loan (none was funded at March 31, 2026) in an SFR BTR construction project.

In August 2025, we originated a $4.0 million bridge loan for the acquisition of a condominium complex, of which one of our directors is the co-chief executive officer and president of an entity that is an indirect owner of the borrower. The loan has an interest rate of SOFR plus 3.25% with a SOFR floor of 4.32% and matures in August 2026. Interest income recorded from this bridge loan was less than $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. In May 2025, we refinanced a $32.5 million bridge loan with a new $43.0 million bridge loan for an SFR BTR construction project that matures in May 2026. In 2020, we also made a $3.5 million preferred equity investment in the same project, of which $1.2 million was paid off in May 2025.

Interest income recorded from these loans was $0.7 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. In May 2025, we refinanced a $56.9 million bridge loan with a new $58.4 million bridge loan for an SFR BTR construction project. Two of our officers made minority equity investments totaling $0.5 million, representing approximately 4% of the total equity invested in the project. Interest on the new loan decreased from SOFR plus 5.50% with a SOFR floor of 3.25% to SOFR plus 2.75% with a SOFR floor of 3.50% and matures in May 2027. Interest income recorded from this loan was $1.0 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

A consortium of investors (which includes, among other unaffiliated investors, certain of our officers with a minority ownership interest) owns 70% of the borrowing entity and an entity indirectly owned and controlled by an immediate family member of our chief executive officer owns 10% of the borrowing entity. Interest on the new loan decreased from SOFR plus 5.50% to SOFR plus 4.75% and matures in February 2027. Interest income recorded from this loan was $0.7 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

An entity owned by an immediate family member of our chief executive officer also made an equity investment in the project and owns a 2.25% equity interest in the borrowing entity. The loan has an interest rate of SOFR plus 4.00% with a SOFR floor of 0.25% and was scheduled to mature in March 2026, which was extended to March 2027. Interest income recorded from this loan was $0.8 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. In 2021, we invested $4.2 million for 49.3% interest in a limited liability company (“LLC”) which purchased a retail property for $32.5 million and assumed an existing $26.0 million CMBS loan. A portion of the property can potentially be converted to office space, of which we have the right to occupy, in part. An entity owned by an immediate family member of our chief executive officer also made an investment in the LLC for a 10% ownership, is the managing member and holds the right to purchase our interest in the LLC. In April 2026, we sold our interest in the LLC for $4.2 million. In 2020, we originated a $14.8 million Private Label loan and a $3.4 million mezzanine loan on two multifamily properties owned in part by a consortium of investors (which includes, among other unaffiliated investors, certain of our officers and our chief executive officer) which owns a 50% interest in the borrowing entity. In 2020, we sold the Private Label loan to an unconsolidated affiliate of ours. The mezzanine loan has a fixed interest rate of 9.00% and matures in April 203 0. Interest income recorded from the mezzanine loan was less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. In 2019, we, along with ACM, certain executives of ours and a consortium of independent outside investors, formed AMAC III, a multifamily-focused commercial real estate investment fund sponsored and managed by our chief executive officer and one of his immediate family members. We committed to a $30.0 million investment for an 18% interest in AMAC III. In 2019, AMAC III originated a $7.0 million mezzanine loan to a borrower with which we have an outstanding $34.0 million bridge loan. In 2020, for full satisfaction of the mezzanine loan, AMAC III became the owner of the property. Also in 2020, the $34.0 million bridge loan was refinanced with a $35.4 million bridge loan, which has an interest rate of SOFR plus 3.50%, and was scheduled to mature in February 2025. In February 2025, we modified this loan to extend the maturity to February 2028 in exchange for a $2.0 million paydown that was made in the first quarter of 2025. In September 2025, the loan was modified to extend the maturity date to July 2028, adjust the interest rate to SOFR plus 1.00% with an all-in floor of 6.50%, and include a fixed pay rate of 1.00%, effective June 1, 2025, with the remaining balance deferred. Interest income recorded from the bridge loan was less than $0.1 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. See Note 8 for further details. In 2019, we converted an existing bridge loan into a $2.0 million mezzanine loan with a fixed interest rate of 10.00%. The underlying multifamily property is owned in part by a consortium of investors (which includes, among other unaffiliated investors, certain of our officers and our chief executive officer) which owns interests ranging from 10.5% to 12.0% in the borrowing entities. The loan was scheduled to mature in May 2025, which was extended to February 2029. Interest income recorded from this loan was less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. In 2018, we originated a $21.7 million bridge loan on a multifamily property owned in part by a consortium of investors (which includes, among other unaffiliated investors, certain of our officers and our chief executive officer) which owned 75% in the borrowing entity. The loan had an interest rate of SOFR plus 4.75% with a SOFR floor of 0.25%, and was scheduled to mature in February 2025, which was modified to extend the maturity to February 2027 in exchange for $3.0 million of additional collateral and a $2.5 million paydown to be made in February 2026. In 2024, we recorded a $5.5 million specific reserve on this loan. In September 2025, this loan paid off and we fully recovered the specific reserve recorded. Interest income recorded from this loan was $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. In 2017, we originated a $46.9 million Fannie Mae loan on a multifamily property owned in part by a consortium of investors (which includes, among other unaffiliated investors, certain of our officers) which owns a 17.6% interest in the borrowing entity. We carry a maximum loss-sharing obligation with Fannie Mae on this loan of up to 5% of the original UPB. The loan was paid off in October 2025. Servicing revenue recorded from this loan was less than $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. 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. In April 2025, the joint venture entered into an agreement to sell its interest in the residential mortgage banking business for $117.3 million. Based on the terms of this agreement, $22.0 million was allocated to us, which is equivalent to the carrying value of our investment, and therefore, we did not record a gain or loss on the transaction. The transaction closed once the entire sales price was paid, which was due in installments as follows: $15.0 million on or before April 1, 2025; $15.0 million on or before April 30, 2025; and the remaining $87.3 million on or before December 15, 2025. The first two installments were made in April 2025, for which we received $5.6 million as our allocable share, and the final installment was made in July 2025 for which we received $16.4 million as our allocable share. 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, 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 2018, the owners of Lexford restructured part of its debt and we originated 12 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 were originated in 2018, had interest rates of LIBOR plus 4.00% and were scheduled to mature in June 2021. During 2019, the borrower made payoffs and partial paydowns of principal totaling $250.0 million and in 2020, the remaining balance of the loans were refinanced with a $34.6 million Private Label loan, which has a fixed interest rate of 3.30% and matures in March 2030. In 2020, we sold the Private Label loan to an unconsolidated affiliate of ours. Further, as part of this 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. Separate from the loans we originated in 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 March 31, 2026, this debt had an aggregate outstanding balance of approximately $296.0 million and is scheduled to mature through 2029. See Note 8 for further details. Several of our executives, including our chief financial officer, corporate secretary 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 35% 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. At March 31, 2026, ACM holds 2,535,870 shares of our common stock and 10,483,930 OP Units, which represents 6.2% 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.
