Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block] | INCOME TAXES The Company's estimated REIT taxable income before consideration of its net operating loss carryforward was $73,962 for the year ended December 31, 2012, $43,988 for the year ended December 31, 2011, and $24,669 for the year ended December 31, 2010. After common and preferred dividend distributions during those years as well as utilization of the Company's tax net operating loss ("NOL") carryforward to offset taxable earnings, the Company does not expect to incur any income tax liability for the year ended December 31, 2012 and did not incur any income tax liability for the years ending December 31, 2011 or December 31, 2010. The Company's estimated NOL carryforward as of December 31, 2012 is $135,857. As a result of its common stock offering in February 2012, the Company incurred an "ownership change" under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code ("Section 382"). In general, if a company incurs an ownership change under Section 382, the company's ability to utilize an NOL carryforward to offset its taxable income after any required dividend distributions, becomes limited to a certain amount per year. Due to the ownership change, the Company's ability to use its NOL is limited to an estimated $13,451 per year. The NOL will begin to expire principally in the years 2020-2024 to the extent it is not used. The Company also has a taxable REIT subsidiary ("TRS"), which has an estimated NOL carryforward of $4,208 as of December 31, 2012. The Company's TRS has limited operations, and, accordingly, the Company has established a full valuation allowance for the related deferred tax asset. After reviewing for any potentially uncertain income tax positions, the Company has concluded that it does not have any uncertain tax positions that meet the recognition or measurement criteria of ASC 740 as of December 31, 2012, December 31, 2011, or December 31, 2010, although its tax returns for those tax years are open to examination by the IRS. In the event that the Company incurs income tax related interest and penalties, its policy is to classify them as a component of provision for income taxes.
