Residential loans held in securitization trusts were included in residential loans, net on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 (see Note 5).

| Greater than 90 days past due |  | Less than 90 days past due

March 31, 2020 | $ | 138,120 |  |  | $ | 167,957 |  |  | $ | 13,269 |  |  | $ | 15,111 |

Residential loans held in Consolidated SLST with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $100.4 million and $50.7 million were 90 days or more delinquent as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Repurchase Agreements - Residential Loans Residential loans with a fair value of approximately $918.4 million and $881.2 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, are pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements (see Note 11). Residential Collateralized Debt Obligations As of March 31, 2020, the Company had Residential CDOs outstanding of $39.0 million recorded as liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets with a current weighted average interest rate of 1.56%. The Company retained the owner trust certificates, or residual interest, for three securitizations and had a net investment in the residential securitization trusts of $7.4 million. The net investment amount is the maximum amount of the Company’s investment that is at risk to loss and represents the difference between (i) the carrying amount of the residential loans, real estate owned and receivables held in residential securitization trusts and (ii) the amount of Residential CDOs outstanding. The Residential CDOs are non-recourse debt for which the Company has no obligation. Consolidated SLST The Company has elected the fair value option on the assets and liabilities held within Consolidated SLST, which requires that changes in valuations in the assets and liabilities of Consolidated SLST be reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Our investment in Consolidated SLST is limited to the securities that we own with an aggregate net carrying value of $182.8 million at March 31, 2020 and $276.8 million at December 31, 2019, respectively (see Note 9). During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company purchased approximately $40.0 million in additional senior securities issued by Consolidated SLST and subsequently sold its entire investment in the senior securities issued by Consolidated SLST for sales proceeds of approximately $62.6 million at a realized loss of approximately $2.4 million, which is included in realized gains (losses), net on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations. The condensed consolidated balance sheets of Consolidated SLST at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, are as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):
Balance Sheet | March 31, 2020 |  | December 31, 2019
Assets |  |  |
Residential loans, at fair value | $ | 1,218,299 |  |  | $ | 1,328,886 |

Total Liabilities and Equity | $ | 1,222,071 |  |  | $ | 1,334,130 |
(1) | Included in receivables and other assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The SLST CDOs had aggregate unpaid principal balances of approximately $1.3 billion at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the weighted average interest rate on the SLST CDOs was 3.53%. The Company does not have any claims to the assets or obligations for the liabilities of Consolidated SLST (other than those securities owned by the Company as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively). The net fair value of our investment in Consolidated SLST, which represents the difference between the carrying values of residential loans, at fair value held in Consolidated SLST less the carrying value of SLST CDOs, approximates the fair value of our underlying securities (see Note 14). The condensed consolidated statement of operations of Consolidated SLST for the three months ended March 31, 2020 is as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):
Statement of Operations | Three Months Ended March 31, 2020
Interest income (1) | $ | 12,123 |
