FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | NOTE 12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis At December 31, 2017 and 2016, we do not have any significant financial assets or financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in our consolidated financial statements. Financial Assets and Liabilities not Measured at Fair Value At December 31, 2017 and 2016 the carrying amounts of certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and notes payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses were representative of their fair values due to the short‑term nature of these instruments or, the recent acquisition of these items. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, we estimated the fair value of our mortgages payable and other notes based upon quoted market prices for the same (Level 1) or similar (Level 2) issues when current quoted market prices are available. We estimated the fair value of our secured mortgage debt that does not have current quoted market prices available by discounting the future cash flows using rates currently available to us for debt with similar terms and maturities (Level 3). The differences in the fair value of our debt from the carrying value are the result of differences in interest rates and/or borrowing spreads that were available to us at December 31, 2017 and 2016, as compared with those in effect when the debt was issued or acquired. The secured mortgage debt contain pre‑payment penalties or yield maintenance provisions that could make the cost of refinancing the debt at lower rates exceed the benefit that would be derived from doing so. At December 31, 2017, the Partnership’s line of credit had an outstanding balance in the amount of $17,000,000, which represents its fair market value. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Partnership in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:
| · |  | For cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other assets, investment in partnerships, accounts payable, advance rents and security deposits: fair value approximates the carrying value of such assets and liabilities.
| · |  | For mortgages and notes payable: fair value is generally based on estimated future cash flows, which are discounted using the quoted market rate from an independent source for similar obligations. Refer to the table below for the carrying amount and estimated fair value of such instruments.
The following table reflects the carrying amounts and estimated fair value of our debt.

*Net of unamortized deferred financing costs Disclosure about fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2017 and 2016. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since December 31, 2017 and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.
