Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events Investment Activity. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company completed a $9,500 increase to a $50,000 commercial mortgage loan originated in November 2014 secured by a portfolio of condominium units located in New York City and Maui, Hawaii. In connection with the upsizing, the collateral for the loan was increased to include five currently unencumbered condominium units located in Kapalua, Maui. During July 2016, the Company funded $3,637 related to previously closed loans and received approximately $15,300 million from loan repayments. On February 26, 2016, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”) with Apollo Residential Mortgage, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“AMTG”), and Arrow Merger Sub, Inc., a Maryland corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger Sub”), pursuant to which the Company will acquire AMTG for an aggregate purchase price equal to 89.25% of AMTG’s book value determined in accordance with the Merger Agreement, plus the assumption of $172,500 of AMTG’s 8.0% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “AMTG Preferred Stock”). The book value of AMTG, and therefore the actual purchase price payable, was determined as of July 22, 2016 (the “Pricing Date”), and will be subject to adjustment in the event that the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement does not occur by September 5, 2016. The aggregate number of shares of Company common stock issuable under the Merger Agreement is limited to 13,400,000 shares at a value of $16.75 per share, and the remainder of the consideration will be paid in cash. Upon the closing, each outstanding share of AMTG common stock will be converted into the right to receive (i) 0.417571 shares of Company common stock and (ii) $6.86 in cash, without interest; provided, however, that the cash portion of the merger consideration may be subject to certain adjustments. In addition , each share of AMTG Preferred Stock will be converted into one share of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, of a newly-designated series of the Company’s preferred stock, which the Company expects will be designated as 8.00% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock. On July 27, 2016, the Company filed with the SEC a definitive proxy statement/prospectus relating to the proposed transaction.
