Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Organization | Organization AG Mortgage Investment Trust, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the state of Maryland on March 1, 2011. The Company is a hybrid mortgage REIT that opportunistically invests in a diversified risk adjusted portfolio of agency investments and credit investments, which contain the asset classes further described below. Residential mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS") include mortgage pass-through certificates or collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") representing interests in or obligations backed by pools of residential mortgage loans issued or guaranteed by a U.S. government-sponsored entity such as Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac (collectively, "GSEs"), or any agency of the U.S. Government such as Ginnie Mae (collectively, "Agency RMBS"). The principal and interest payments on Agency RMBS securities have an explicit guarantee by either an agency of the U.S. government or a U.S. government-sponsored entity. Non-Agency RMBS represent fixed- and floating-rate RMBS issued by entities or organizations other than a GSE or agency of the U.S. government, or that are collateralized by non-U.S. mortgages, including investment grade (AAA through BBB) and non-investment grade classes (BB and below). The mortgage loan collateral for Non-Agency RMBS consists of residential mortgage loans that do not generally conform to underwriting guidelines issued by U.S. government agencies or U.S. government-sponsored entities or are non-U.S. mortgages. Non-Agency RMBS also includes securities issued by companies whose primary assets are land and real estate. Asset Backed Securities ("ABS") are securitized investments for which the underlying assets are diverse, not only representing real estate related assets. Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities ("CMBS") represent investments of fixed- and floating-rate CMBS, including investment grade (AAA through BBB) and non-investment grade classes (BB and below), secured by, or evidencing an ownership interest in, a single commercial mortgage loan or a pool of commercial mortgage loans. Conduit CMBS are CMBS that are collateralized by multiple commercial loans and multiple borrowers. Single-Asset/Single-Borrower securities are CMBS which securitize a single loan that is backed by a single asset (usually a large commercial property) or by a pool of cross collateralized mortgage obligations to a single borrower or related borrowers. The Company’s Non-Agency RMBS, CMBS and ABS portfolios are generally not issued or guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or any agency of the U.S. Government, or are collateralized by non-U.S. mortgages and are therefore subject to credit risk. Collectively, the Company refers to Agency RMBS, Non-Agency RMBS, ABS and CMBS asset types as "real estate securities" or "securities." Residential mortgage loans refer to performing, re-performing and non-performing loans secured by a first lien mortgage on residential mortgaged property located in any of the 50 states of the United States or in the District of Columbia. Commercial loans are secured by an interest in commercial real estate and represent a contractual right to receive money on demand or on fixed or determinable dates. The Company refers to its residential and commercial mortgage loans as "mortgage loans" or "loans." Excess MSRs refer to the excess servicing spread related to mortgage servicing rights, whose underlying collateral is securitized in a trust either held by a U.S. government agency or GSE ("Agency Excess MSR") or not held by a U.S. government agency or GSE ("Credit Excess MSR"). Agency investments include Agency RMBS and Agency Excess MSRs, and credit investments include Non-Agency RMBS, ABS, CMBS, loans, and Credit Excess MSRs. Prior to December 31, 2019, the Company conducted its business through the following segments; (i) Securities and Loans and (ii) Single-Family Rental Properties. On November 15, 2019, the Company sold its portfolio of single-family rental properties ("SFR portfolio") to a third party and no longer separated its business into segments. The sale of the Company's SFR portfolio has met the criteria for discontinued operations. Accordingly, for all current and prior periods presented, the related assets and liabilities are presented as assets and liabilities held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets and the related operating results are presented as income/(loss) from discontinued operations on the consolidated statement of operations. See Note 14 for further details. The Company is externally managed by AG REIT Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Manager"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Angelo, Gordon & Co., L.P. ("Angelo Gordon"), a privately-held, SEC-registered investment adviser, pursuant to a management agreement. The Manager, pursuant to a delegation agreement dated as of June 29, 2011, has delegated to Angelo Gordon the overall responsibility of its day-to-day duties and obligations arising under the management agreement. The Company conducts its operations to qualify and be taxed as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. COVID-19 Impact On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") a pandemic. On March 13, 2020, the U.S. declared a national emergency concerning the COVID-19 pandemic, and several states and municipalities have subsequently declared public health emergencies. These conditions have caused, and continue to cause, a significant disruption in the U.S. and world economies. To slow the spread of COVID-19, many countries, including the U.S., have implemented social distancing measures, which have substantially prohibited large gatherings, including at sporting events, religious services and schools. Further, many regions, including the majority of U.S. states, implemented additional measures, such as shelter-in-place and stay-at-home orders. Many businesses moved to a remote working environment, temporarily suspended operations, laid off a significant percentage of their workforce and/or shut down completely. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic and certain of the actions taken to reduce its spread have resulted in lost business revenue, rapid and significant increases in unemployment, changes in consumer behavior and significant reductions in liquidity and the fair value of many assets, including those in which the Company invests. Although many of the government restrictions were relaxed over the summer and early fall, these conditions, or some level thereof, are expected to continue over the near term and may continue into 2021, depending on state and local outbreaks and the success of availability of an effective vaccine. Beginning in mid-March, the global pandemic associated with COVID-19 and related economic conditions caused financial and mortgage-related asset markets to come under extreme duress, resulting in credit spread widening, a sharp decrease in interest rates and unprecedented illiquidity in repurchase agreement financing and mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") markets. The illiquidity was exacerbated by inadequate demand for MBS among primary dealers due to balance sheet constraints. These events, in turn, resulted in declines in the value of our assets and margin calls from the Company's repurchase agreement financing counterparties. In order to satisfy the margin calls, the Company sold a significant portion of its investments resulting in a material adverse impact on book value, earnings and financial position. The Company's book value decreased from $17.61 at December 31, 2019 to $3.34 at September 30, 2020. In an effort to manage the Company's portfolio through this unprecedented turmoil in the financial markets and improve liquidity, the Company executed the following during the nine months ended September 30, 2020: • The Company reduced its investment portfolio from $4.0 billion at December 31, 2019 to $903.7 million at September 30, 2020 through sales, directly or as a result of financing counterparty seizures. • The Company terminated its entire portfolio of pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swaps, recognizing net realized losses of $(65.4) million. • The Company reduced its outstanding financing arrangements from $3.2 billion at December 31, 2019 to $225.5 million at September 30, 2020, resulting in a decline of its overall leverage ratio from 4.1x to 1.8x. The Company executed the following during the three months ended September 30, 2020: • The Company purchased $250.1 million of Agency RMBS and $60.2 million of Residential Mortgage Loans. • The Company participated in a non-rated securitization, in which Residential Mortgage Loans with a fair value of $199.6 million were securitized, converting financing from recourse financing that was mark-to-market with respect to margin calls to non-recourse financing that is no longer mark-to-market with respect to margin calls. • The Company sold real estate securities for proceeds of $38.8 million, residential mortgage loans for proceeds of $6.2 million, commercial loans for proceeds of $2.7 million and Excess MSRs for proceeds of $8.5 million. • The Company, alongside private funds under the management of Angelo Gordon, participated through its unconsolidated ownership interest in MATT, as defined below, in a rated Non-QM loan securitization, in which Non-QM loans with a fair value of $226.0 million were securitized. Certain senior tranches in the securitization were sold to third parties with the Company and private funds under the management of Angelo Gordon retaining the subordinate tranches, which had a fair value of $24.3 million as of September 30, 2020. The Company has a 44.6% interest in the retained subordinate tranches. • On September 24, 2020, the Company issued (i) 1,215,370 shares of common stock to the Manager in full satisfaction of the deferred base management fee of $3.8 million payable by the Company in respect to the first and second quarters of 2020 and (ii) 154,500 shares of common stock in satisfaction of $0.5 million of the base management fee payable by the Company in respect to the third quarter of 2020. The shares of Common Stock issued to the Manager were valued at $3.15 per share based on the midpoint of the estimated range of the Company’s book value per share as of August 31, 2020. The remaining third quarter management fee will be paid in the normal course of business. The full impact of COVID-19 on the mortgage REIT industry, the credit markets and consequently on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations for future periods is uncertain and cannot be predicted at the current time as it depends on several factors beyond the control of the Company including, but not limited to (i) the uncertainty around the severity, duration and spread of the outbreak, (ii) the effectiveness of the United States and global public health response, (iii) the pandemic’s impact on the U.S. and global economies, (iv) the timing, scope and effectiveness of additional governmental responses to the pandemic, including the availability of a treatment or vaccination for COVID-19, (v) the impact of government interventions, and (vi) the negative impact on the Company's borrowers, asset values and cost of capital. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of significant accounting policies | Summary of significant accounting policies The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included for the interim period and are of a normal and recurring nature. The operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year's consolidated financial statements to conform to the three months ended September 30, 2020 presentation, primarily in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and all related notes in which prior periods have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the classification of the operations of the Company's SFR portfolio to discontinued operations. The Company also included additional detail on certain asset classes within the real estate securities portfolio given the Company's reduction in portfolio size. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has conducted a going concern analysis which has a look-forward period of one year from the financial statement issuance date. The Company expects its current cash resources, operating cash flows, positive equity on its remaining assets, and its ability to obtain financing will be sufficient to sustain operations for a period greater than one year after the issuance of the date of this report. Management believes that the Company will have sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations, as they become due, for the next twelve months. To the extent that actual available cash differs materially from the current cash flow forecast, management has the ability to consider certain asset sales to increase the amount of available cash. The global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve as state and local governments adopted a number of measures and recommendations in response to the outbreak, including imposing travel restrictions, "shelter in place" restrictions, curfews, canceling events, banning large gatherings, closing non-essential businesses and generally promoting social distancing. Although certain states and localities have recently begun easing some of these new measures and providing recommendations regarding recommencing economic activity, renewed outbreaks of COVID-19 may continue to occur and result in additional or different policy action at the federal, state and local level in the near future. The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting emergency measures has led (and may continue to lead) to significant disruptions in the global supply chain, global capital markets, the economy of the U.S. and the economies of other countries impacted by COVID-19. The rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact of COVID-19 on economic and market conditions. The Company believes the estimates and assumptions underlying our consolidated financial statements are reasonable and supportable based on the information available as of September 30, 2020; however, uncertainty over the ultimate impact COVID-19 will have on the global economy generally, and the Company's business in particular, makes any estimates and assumptions as of September 30, 2020 inherently less certain than they would be absent the current and potential impacts of COVID-19. Accordingly, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions could be different than anticipated in those estimates, which could materially impact the Company’s results of operations and its financial condition and therefore the going concern analysis. Cash and cash equivalents Cash is comprised of cash on deposit with financial institutions. The Company classifies highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase as cash equivalents. Cash equivalents includes cash invested in money market funds. As of September 30, 2020, the Company held $44.6 million of cash and cash equivalents, none of which were cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2019, the Company held $81.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, of which $53.2 million were cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with high credit quality institutions to reduce credit risk exposure. Cash pledged to the Company as collateral is unrestricted in use and, accordingly, is included as a component of "Cash and cash equivalents" on the consolidated balance sheets. Any cash held by the Company as collateral is included in the "Other liabilities" line item on the consolidated balance sheets and in cash flows from financing activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows. Due to broker, which is included in the "Other liabilities" line item on the consolidated balance sheets, does not include variation margin received on centrally cleared derivatives. See Note 8 for more detail. Any cash due to the Company in the form of principal payments is included in the "Other assets" line item on the consolidated balance sheets and in cash flows from operating activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows. Restricted cash Restricted cash includes cash pledged as collateral for clearing and executing trades, derivatives, and financing arrangements, as well as restricted cash deposited into accounts held at certain consolidated trusts. Prior to the disposition of the Company's SFR portfolio, restricted cash also included cash deposited into accounts related to rent deposits and collections, security deposits, property taxes, insurance premiums, interest expenses, property management fees and capital expenditures. Restricted cash is not available to the Company for general corporate purposes. Restricted cash may be returned to the Company when the related collateral requirements are exceeded or at the maturity of the derivative or financing arrangement. Restricted cash is carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Restricted cash does not include variation margin pledged on centrally cleared derivatives. See Note 8 for more detail. Offering costs The Company has incurred offering costs in connection with common stock offerings, registration statements, preferred stock offerings and exchanges. Where applicable, the offering costs were paid out of the proceeds of the respective offerings. Offering costs in connection with common stock offerings and costs in connection with registration statements have been accounted for as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. Offering costs in connection with preferred stock offerings have been accounted for as a reduction of their respective gross proceeds. Exchange costs in connection with the Company's preferred stock exchanges have been accounted for as a reduction to the Company's retained earnings. Use of estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates. See Note 1 under " COVID-19 Impact " for more detail. Earnings/(Loss) per share In accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 260, "Earnings per Share," the Company calculates basic income/(loss) per share by dividing net income/(loss) available to common stockholders for the period by weighted average shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding for that period. Diluted income per share takes into account the effect of dilutive instruments, such as stock options, warrants, unvested restricted stock and unvested restricted stock units but uses the average share price for the period in determining the number of incremental shares that are to be added to the weighted average number of shares outstanding. In periods in which the Company records a loss, potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation, as their effect on loss per share is anti-dilutive. See Note 9 for aggregate amounts of arrearages in cumulative preferred dividends and Note 12 for further detail on the Company’s common and preferred stock. Valuation of financial instruments The fair value of the financial instruments that the Company records at fair value is determined by the Manager, subject to oversight of the Company’s Board of Directors, and in accordance with ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures." When possible, the Company determines fair value using independent data sources. ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below: • Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2 – Prices determined using other significant observable inputs. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others. • Level 3 – Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available. Transfers between levels are assumed to occur at the beginning of the reporting period. At the beginning of the first quarter of 2020, the Manager completed a data collection and analysis effort, which supported an update to its Leveling policy under ASC 820. Among the data collected and analyzed were: (i) reports from TRACE, FINRA’s Trade Reporting and Compliance Engine, that reports over-the-counter secondary market transactions in eligible fixed income securities, (ii) information from pricing vendors regarding valuation approaches and observability of market color, (iii) data points collected from discussions with industry sources, including peer firms and audit firms, and (iv) its own data from back testing vendor pricing against its own trades. After analyzing this data, the Manager concluded that there was sufficient observability of market inputs used by its third-party pricing services for certain RMBS and CMBS positions previously categorized as Level 3 to meet the criteria for a Level 2 classification. The Company considered whether the volatile market conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic would have an impact on its Leveling policy under ASC 820, as amended on January 1, 2020. Based on due diligence, there have been no significant changes in any of the pricing services’ fair value methodologies or processes as a result of COVID-19. The Company does not believe the pricing services’ ability to determine fair values has been adversely impacted. As a result, the Company concluded there was no migration from Level 2 to Level 3 as a result of COVID-19. Accounting for real estate securities Investments in real estate securities are recorded in accordance with ASC 320-10, "Investments – Debt and Equity Securities," ASC 325-40, "Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets," or ASC 310-30, "Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality." The Company has chosen to make a fair value election pursuant to ASC 825, "Financial Instruments" for its real estate securities portfolio. Real estate securities are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets and the periodic change in fair value is recorded in current period earnings on the consolidated statement of operations as a component of "Unrealized gain/(loss) on real estate securities and loans, net." Real estate securities acquired are shown in the line item "Purchase of real estate securities" on the consolidated statement of cash flows. Purchases and sales of real estate securities are recorded on the trade date. These investments meet the requirements to be classified as available for sale under ASC 320-10-25 which requires the securities to be carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets with changes in fair value recorded to other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity. Electing the fair value option allows the Company to record changes in fair value in the consolidated statement of operations, which, in management’s view, more appropriately reflects the results of operations for a particular reporting period as all securities activities will be recorded in a similar manner. The Company recognizes certain upfront costs and fees relating to securities for which the fair value option has been elected in current period earnings as incurred and does not defer those costs, which is in accordance with ASC 825-10-25. When the Company purchases securities with evidence of credit deterioration since origination, it will analyze the securities to determine if the guidance found in ASC 310-30 is applicable. In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses" ("ASU 2016-13"). This new guidance significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets, including loans, that are not measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized through net income. The Company adopted the new guidance as of January 1, 2020. The new guidance specifically excludes available-for-sale securities and loans measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized through net income. Accordingly, the impact of the new guidance on accounting for the Company's debt securities and loans is limited to recognition of effective yield which was historically impacted by other than temporary impairment recorded under current standards. As the new guidance eliminates the accounting for other than temporary impairment, this guidance has impacted the Company's unrealized and realized gain/(loss) amounts. As the Company measures its debt securities and loans at fair value with any changes recognized through net income and updates its estimate of the cash flows expected to be collected on these asset classes on at least a quarterly basis recognizing changes in cash flows in interest income prospectively through an adjustment of an asset’s yield over its remaining life, the adoption of the standard did not have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-13, the Company accounted for its securities under ASC 310 and ASC 325 and evaluated securities for other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") on at least a quarterly basis. The determination of whether a security was other-than-temporarily impaired involved judgments and assumptions based on subjective and objective factors. When the fair value of a real estate security was less than its amortized cost at the balance sheet date, the security was considered impaired, and the impairment was designated as either "temporary" or "other-than-temporary." When a real estate security was impaired, an OTTI was considered to have occurred if (i) the Company intended to sell the security (i.e., a decision has been made as of the reporting date) or (ii) it was more likely than not that the Company was required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If the Company intended to sell the security or if it was more likely than not that the Company was required to sell the real estate security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the entire amount of the impairment loss, if any, was recognized in earnings as a realized loss and the cost basis of the security was adjusted to its fair value. Additionally, for securities accounted for under ASC 325-40 an OTTI was deemed to have occurred when there was an adverse change in the expected cash flows to be received and the fair value of the security was less than its carrying amount. In determining whether an adverse change in cash flows occurred, the present value of the remaining cash flows, as estimated at the initial transaction date (or the last date previously revised), was compared to the present value of the expected cash flows at the current reporting date. The estimated cash flows reflected those a "market participant" would use and included observations of current information and events, and assumptions related to fluctuations in interest rates, prepayment speeds and the timing and amount of potential credit losses. Cash flows were discounted at a rate equal to the current yield used to accrete interest income. Any resulting OTTI adjustments were reflected in the "Net realized gain/(loss)" line item on the consolidated statement of operations. The determination as to whether an OTTI existed was subjective, given that such determination was based on information available at the time of assessment as well as the Company’s estimate of the future performance and cash flow projections for the individual security. As a result, the timing and amount of an OTTI constituted an accounting estimate that could change materially over time. Increases in interest income could have been recognized on a security on which the Company previously recorded an OTTI charge if the performance of such security subsequently improved. Sales of securities are driven by the Manager’s portfolio management process. The Manager seeks to mitigate risks including those associated with prepayments, defaults, severities, amongst others and will opportunistically rotate the portfolio into securities with more favorable attributes. Strategies may also be employed to manage net capital gains, which need to be distributed for tax purposes. Realized gains or losses on sales of securities, loans and derivatives are included in the "Net realized gain/(loss)" line item on the consolidated statement of operations. The cost of positions sold is calculated using a first in, first out ("FIFO") basis. Realized gains and losses are recorded in earnings at the time of disposition. Accounting for residential and commercial mortgage loans Investments in mortgage loans are recorded in accordance with ASC 310-10, "Receivables." At purchase, the Company may aggregate its mortgage loans into pools based on common risk characteristics. Once a pool of loans is assembled, its composition is maintained. The Company has chosen to make a fair value election pursuant to ASC 825 for its mortgage loan portfolio. Electing the fair value option allows the Company to record changes in fair value in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, which, in management's view, more appropriately reflects the results of operations for a particular reporting period as all loan activities will be recorded in a similar manner. As such, loans are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets and any periodic change in fair value is recorded in current period earnings on the consolidated statement of operations as a component of "Unrealized gain/(loss) on real estate securities and loans, net." The Company recognizes certain upfront costs and fees relating to loans for which the fair value option has been elected in current period earnings as incurred and does not defer those costs, which is in accordance with ASC 825-10-25. Purchases and sales of mortgage loans are recorded on the settlement date, concurrent with the completion of due diligence and the removal of any contingencies. Prior to the settlement date, the Company will include commitments to purchase loans within the Commitments and Contingencies footnote to the financial statements. The Company amortizes or accretes any premium or discount over the life of the loans utilizing the effective interest method. On at least a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates the collectability of both interest and principal on its loans to determine whether they are impaired. A loan or pool of loans is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms. Income recognition is suspended for loans at the earlier of the date at which payments become 90-days past due or when, in the opinion of the Manager, a full recovery of income and principal becomes doubtful. When the ultimate collectability of the principal of an impaired loan or pool of loans is in doubt, all payments are applied to principal under the cost recovery method. When the ultimate collectability of the principal of an impaired loan is not in doubt, contractual interest is recorded as interest income when received, under the cash basis method until an accrual is resumed when the loan becomes contractually current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed. A loan is written off when it is no longer realizable and/or legally discharged. When the Company purchases mortgage loans with evidence of credit deterioration since origination and it determines that it is probable it will not collect all contractual cash flows on those loans, it will apply the guidance found in ASC 310-30. Mortgage loans that are delinquent 60 or more days are considered non-performing. The Company updates its estimate of the cash flows expected to be collected on at least a quarterly basis for loans accounted for under ASC 310-30. In estimating these cash flows, there are a number of assumptions that will be subject to uncertainties and contingencies including both the rate and timing of principal and interest receipts, and assumptions of prepayments, repurchases, defaults and liquidations. If based on the most current information and events it is probable that there is a significant increase in cash flows previously expected to be collected or if actual cash flows are significantly greater than cash flows previously expected, the Company will recognize these changes prospectively through an adjustment of the loan’s yield over its remaining life. The Company will adjust the amount of accretable yield by reclassification from the nonaccretable difference. The adjustment is accounted for as a change in estimate in conformity with ASC 250, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections" with the amount of periodic accretion adjusted over the remaining life of the loan. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-13, decreases in cash flows expected to be collected from previously projected cash flows, which included all cash flows originally expected to be collected by the investor plus any additional cash flows expected to be collected arising from changes in estimate after acquisition, could have been recognized as impairment. Increases in interest income could have been recognized on a loan on which the Company previously recorded an OTTI charge if the performance of such loan subsequently improved. As previously stated, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 as of January 1, 2020. The new guidance specifically excludes available-for-sale securities and loans measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized through net income. Accordingly, the impact of the new guidance on accounting for the Company's debt securities and loans is limited to recognition of effective yield which was previously impacted by other than temporary impairment recorded under previous standards. As the new guidance eliminates the accounting for other than temporary impairment, this guidance has impacted the Company's recorded unrealized and realized gain/(loss) amounts. As the Company measures its debt securities and loans at fair value with any changes recognized through net income and updates its estimate of the cash flows expected to be collected on these asset classes on at least a quarterly basis recognizing changes in cash flows in interest income prospectively through an adjustment of an asset’s yield over its remaining life, the adoption of the standard did not have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Investments in debt and equity of affiliates The Company’s unconsolidated ownership interests in affiliates are accounted for using the equity method. A majority of the Company’s investments held through affiliated entities are comprised of real estate securities, Excess MSRs, loans, and certain derivatives. These types of investments may also be held directly by the Company. These entities have chosen to make a fair value election on their financial instruments and certain financing arrangements pursuant to ASC 825; as such, the Company will treat these financial instruments and financing arrangements consistently with this election. On December 9, 2015, the Company, alongside private funds managed by Angelo Gordon, through AG Arc LLC, one of the Company’s indirect subsidiaries ("AG Arc"), formed Arc Home LLC ("Arc Home"). In June 2016, Arc Home closed on the acquisition of a Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA, VA and Ginnie Mae seller/servicer of residential mortgages. Through this subsidiary, Arc Home originates conforming, Government, Jumbo, Non-QM, and other non-conforming residential mortgage loans, retains the mortgage servicing rights associated with the loans it originates, and purchases additional mortgage servicing rights from third-party sellers. The Company has chosen to make a fair value election with respect to its investment in AG Arc pursuant to ASC 825. On August 29, 2017, the Company, alongside private funds managed by Angelo Gordon, formed Mortgage Acquisition Holding I LLC ("MATH") to conduct a residential mortgage investment strategy. MATH in turn sponsored the formation of an entity called Mortgage Acquisition Trust I LLC ("MATT") to purchase predominantly "Non-QM" loans, which are residential mortgage loans that are not deemed "qualified mortgage," or "QM," loans under the rules of the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau. Non-QM loans are not eligible for delivery to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or Ginnie Mae. MATT has made an election to be treated as a real estate investment trust beginning with the 2018 tax year. On April 3, 2020, the Company, alongside private funds under the management of Angelo Gordon, restructured its financing arrangements in MATT ("Restructured Financing Arrangement"). The Restructured Financing Arrangement requires all principal and interest on the underlying assets in MATT be used to pay down principal and interest on the outstanding financing arrangement. As of April 3, 2020, the Restructured Financing Arrangement is no longer a mark-to-market facility with respect to margin calls and is non-recourse to the Company. The Restructured Financing Arrangement provides for a termination date of October 1, 2021. At the earlier of the termination date or the securitization or sale by the Company of the remaining assets subject to the Restructured Financing Arrangement, the financing counterparty (which is a non-affiliate) will be entitled to 35% of the remaining equity in the assets. The Company evaluated this restructuring and concluded it was an extinguishment of debt. MATT has chosen to make a fair value election on this financing arrangement, and the Company will treat this arrangement consistently with this election. On May 15, 2019 and November 14, 2019, the Company, alongside private funds managed by Angelo Gordon, formed LOT SP I LLC and LOT SP II LLC, respectively, (collectively, "LOTS"). LOTS were formed to originate first mortgage loans to third party land developers and home builders for the acquisition and horizontal development of land ("Land Related Financing"). The below table reconciles the fair value of investments to the "Investments in debt and equity of affiliates" line item on the Company's consolidated balance sheet (in thousands). September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Assets Liabilities Equity Assets Liabilities Equity Real Estate Securities, Excess MSRs and Loans, at fair value (1)(2) $ 217,643 $ (123,861) $ 93,782 $ 373,126 $ (257,068) $ 116,058 AG Arc, at fair value 41,436 — 41,436 28,546 — 28,546 Cash and Other assets/(liabilities) 4,925 (1,454) 3,471 12,953 (1,246) 11,707 Investments in debt and equity of affiliates $ 264,004 $ (125,315) $ 138,689 $ 414,625 $ (258,314) $ 156,311 (1) Certain loans held in securitized form are presented net of non-recourse securitized debt. (2) Within Real Estate Securities, Excess MSRs and Loans is $152.5 million and $254.3 million of fair value of Non-QM loans held in MATT at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The related financing on the Non-QM loans was $117.0 million and $200.3 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. As of September 30, 2020, Non-QM Loans excluded loans with an unpaid principal balance of $24.5 million whereby an affiliate of MATT has the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase loans from a trust that are 90 days or more delinquent at its discretion. These loans, which are eligible to be repurchased, would be recorded on the balance sheet of MATT, an unconsolidated equity method investee of the Company, with a corresponding and offsetting liability. Additionally, there is $25.5 million and $17.0 million of fair value of Land Related Financing held in LOTS at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The Company’s investments in debt and equity of affiliates are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets in the "Investments in debt and equity of affiliates" line item and periodic changes in fair value are recorded in current period earnings on the consolidated statement of operations as a component of "Equity in earnings/(loss) from affiliates." Capital contributions, distributions and profits and losses of such entities are allocated in accordance with the terms of the applicable agreements. Accounting for excess mortgage servicing rights The Company has acquired the right to receive the excess servicing spread related to Excess MSRs. The Company has chosen to make a fair value election pursuant to ASC 825 for Excess MSRs. Excess MSRs are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets and any periodic change in fair value is recorded in current period earnings on the consolidated statement of operations as a component of "Unrealized gain/(loss) on derivative and other instruments, net." The Company amortizes or accretes any premium or discount over the life of the related Excess MSRs utilizing the effective interest method. On at least a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates the collectability of interest of its Excess MSRs to determine whether they are impaired. The Company updates its estimate of the cash flows expected to be collected on at least a quarterly basis for Excess MSRs. In estimating these cash flows, there are a number of assumptions that will be subject to uncertainties and contingencies including both the rate and timing of interest receipts, and assumptions of prepayments, repurchases, defaults and liquidations. If there is a significant increase in expected cash flows over what was previously expected to be collected or if actual cash flows are significantly greater than cash flows previously expected, the Company will recognize these changes prospectively through an adjustment of the Excess MSR’s yield over its remaining life. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-13, decreases in cash flows expected to be collected from previously projected cash flows, which included all cash flows originally expected to be collected by the investor plus any additional cash flows expected to be collected arising from changes in estimate after acquisition, could have been recognized as impairment. Increases in interest income could have been recognized on an Excess MSR on which the Company previously recorded an OTTI charge if the performance of such Excess MSR subsequently improved. As previously stated, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 as of January 1, 2020. The new guidance specifically excludes available-for-sale securities, loans and Excess MSRs measured at fair v |

The determination of whether a security was other-than-temporarily impaired involved judgments and assumptions based on subjective and objective factors. When the fair value of a real estate security was less than its amortized cost at the balance sheet date, the security was considered impaired, and the impairment was designated as either "temporary" or "other-than-temporary." For the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized an OTTI charge of $3.1 million on its securities, which is included in the "Net realized gain/(loss)" line item on the consolidated statement of operations. The Company recorded $3.1 million of OTTI due to an adverse change in cash flows on certain securities where the fair values of the securities were less than their carrying amounts. Of the $3.1 million of OTTI recorded, $2.2 million related to securities where OTTI was not recognized in a prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized an OTTI charge of $14.2 million on its securities, which is included in the "Net realized gain/(loss)" line item on the consolidated statement of operations.

There may be limited data available regarding the underlying collateral of such securitizations. As described in Note 2, prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-13, the Company evaluated loans for OTTI on at least a quarterly basis. The determination of whether a loan was other-than-temporarily impaired involved judgments and assumptions based on subjective and objective factors. When the fair value of a loan was less than its amortized cost at the balance sheet date, the loan was considered impaired, and the impairment was designated as either "temporary" or "other-than-temporary." For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized $0.1 million of OTTI on certain loan pools, which is included in the "Net realized gain/(loss)" line item on the consolidated statement of operations. The company recorded $0.1 million of OTTI where the fair values of the loan pools were less than their carrying amounts. The $0.1 million related to loan pools with an unpaid principal balance of $4.9 million, a fair value of $4.3 million and an average fair market value of $4.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. The Company recognized $0.1 million of interest income on the loan pools where OTTI was taken during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The Company’s mortgage loan portfolio consisted of mortgage loans on residential real estate located throughout the United States. The following is a summary of the geographic concentration of credit risk within the Company’s mortgage loan portfolio as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, excluding any loans classified as Other above: Geographic Concentration of Credit Risk September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Percentage of fair value of mortgage loans secured by properties in the following states representing 5% or more of fair value: California 17 % 19 % Florida 11 % 11 % New York 10 % 9 % New Jersey 6 % 6 % The Company records interest income on an effective interest basis. The accretable discount is determined by the excess of the Company’s estimate of undiscounted principal, interest, and other cash flows expected to be collected over its initial investment in the mortgage loan. The following is a summary of the changes in the accretable portion of discounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively (in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 September 30, 2019 September 30, 2020 September 30, 2019 Beginning Balance $ 138,161 $ 89,515 $ 168,877 $ 79,610 Additions 31,115 70,279 160,132 90,515 Accretion (5,073) (4,286) (21,538) (10,987) Reclassifications from/(to) non-accretable difference (1,064) (1,089) (25,741) 515 Disposals (2,298) (53) (120,889) (5,287) Ending Balance $ 160,841 $ 154,366 $ 160,841 $ 154,366 As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s residential mortgage loan portfolio was comprised of 3,394 conventional loans with individual original loan balances between $5.6 thousand and $3.4 million, excluding loans classified as Other above. As of December 31, 2019, the Company’s residential mortgage loan portfolio was comprised of 3,413 conventional loans with individual original loan balances between $3.8 thousand and $3.4 million. In August 2019 and September 2020, the Company entered into securitization transactions of certain of its residential mortgage loans. The Company concluded that the SPEs created to facilitate these transactions were VIEs and also determined that the August 2019 VIE and September 2020 VIE should be consolidated by the Company. The transferred assets were recorded as secured borrowings, based on the Company’s involvement in the August 2019 VIE and September 2020 VIE, including the design and purpose of the SPEs, and whether the Company’s involvement reflected controlling financial interests that resulted in the Company being deemed the primary beneficiaries of the August 2019 VIE and the September 2020 VIE. Upon consolidation, the Company elected the fair value option for the assets and liabilities of the August 2019 VIE and the September 2020 VIE. Electing the fair value option allows the Company to record changes in fair value in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, which, in management's view, more appropriately reflects the results of operations for a particular reporting period as all activities will be recorded in a similar manner. The Company applied the guidance under ASU 2014-13, "Measuring the Financial Assets and the Financial Liabilities of a Consolidated Collateralized Financing Entity," whereby the Company determines whether the fair value of the assets or liabilities of the August 2019 VIE and September 2020 VIE are more observable as a basis for measuring the less observable financial instruments. The Company has determined that the fair value of the liabilities of the August 2019 VIE and September 2020 VIE are more observable since the prices for these liabilities are more easily determined as similar instruments trade more frequently on a relative basis than the individual assets of the VIEs. The following table details certain information related to the assets and liabilities of the August 2019 VIE and September 2020 VIE as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (in thousands): September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Assets Residential mortgage loans, at fair value $ 420,200 $ 255,171 Restricted cash 1,976 — Other assets 2,596 898 Total assets $ 424,772 $ 256,069 Liabilities Financing arrangements $ 23,918 $ 24,584 Securitized debt, at fair value 358,986 217,118 Other liabilities 546 596 Total liabilities $ 383,450 $ 242,298 The following table details additional information regarding loans and securitized debt related to the August 2019 VIE and September 2020 VIE as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 ($ in thousands): Weighted Average As of: Current Unpaid Principal Balance Fair Value Coupon Yield Life (Years) (1) September 30, 2020 August 2019 VIE Residential mortgage loans $ 248,023 $ 220,590 3.71 % 4.80 % 6.97 Securitized debt (2) 206,434 195,499 2.96 % 2.97 % 5.13 September 2020 VIE Residential mortgage loans 249,071 199,610 3.58 % 5.46 % 6.72 Securitized debt (2) 163,487 163,487 2.98 % 3.00 % 2.09 December 31, 2019 August 2019 VIE Residential mortgage loans 263,956 255,171 3.96 % 5.11 % 7.66 Securitized debt (2) 217,455 217,118 2.92 % 2.86 % 5.00 (1) This is based on projected life.

Disclosure of Excess MSRs [Abstract] | |
Excess MSRs | Excess MSRs On August 31, 2020, the Company, alongside private funds under the management of Angelo Gordon, sold its Ginnie Mae Excess MSR portfolio to Arc Home for total proceeds of $18.9 million. The portfolio had a total unpaid principal balance of $3.1 billion. The Company's share of the total proceeds approximated $8.5 million, representing its approximate 45% ownership interest. The Company recorded realized gains of $0.1 million and realized losses of $4.8 million. Arc Home subsequently sold its Ginnie Mae MSR portfolio to a third party. The Company has chosen to make a fair value election pursuant to ASC 825 for its Excess MSR portfolio. Unrealized gains and losses are recognized in current period earnings in the "Unrealized gain/(loss) on derivative and other instruments, net" line item. The gross unrealized gains/(losses) columns below represent inception to date unrealized gains/(losses). The following table presents detail on the Company’s Excess MSR portfolio on September 30, 2020 ($ in thousands).

Actual maturities of Excess MSRs may be shorter than stated contractual maturities. Maturities are affected by prepayments of principal. As described in Note 2, prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-13, the Company evaluated Excess MSRs for OTTI on at least a quarterly basis. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized an OTTI charge of $0.4 million on its Excess MSRs, which is included in the "Net realized gain/(loss)" line item on the consolidated statement of operations. None of the $ 0.4 million of OTTI recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was related to Excess MSRs where OTTI was not recognized in a prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized an OTTI charge of $2.6 million on its Excess MSRs, which is included in the "Net realized gain/(loss)" line item on the consolidated statement of operations. Of the $2.6 million of OTTI recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, $0.8 million was related to Excess MSRs where OTTI was not recognized in a prior year. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair value measurements | Fair value measurements As described in Note 2, the fair value of financial instruments that are recorded at fair value is determined by the Manager, subject to oversight of the Company’s Board of Directors, and in accordance with ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures." When possible, the Company determines fair value using independent data sources. ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. Values for the Company’s securities, Excess MSRs, securitized debt of the December 2014 VIE, derivatives and U.S. Treasury securities are based upon prices obtained from third party pricing services, which are indicative of market activity. The evaluation methodology of the Company’s third-party pricing services incorporates commonly used market pricing methods, including a spread measurement to various indices such as the one-year constant maturity treasury and LIBOR, which are observable inputs. The evaluation also considers the underlying characteristics of each investment, which are also observable inputs, including: coupon; maturity date; loan age; reset date; collateral type; periodic and life cap; geography; and prepayment speeds. The Company collects and considers current market intelligence on all major markets, including benchmark security evaluations and bid-lists from various sources, when available. As part of the Company’s risk management process, the Company reviews and analyzes all prices obtained by comparing prices to recently completed transactions involving the same or similar investments on or near the reporting date. If, in the opinion of the Manager, one or more prices reported to the Company are not reliable or unavailable, the Manager reviews the fair value based on characteristics of the investment it receives from the issuer and available market information. In valuing its derivatives, the Company considers the creditworthiness of both the Company and its counterparties, along with collateral provisions contained in each derivative agreement, from the perspective of both the Company and its counterparties. All of the Company’s derivatives are either subject to bilateral collateral arrangements or clearing in accordance with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the "Dodd Frank Act"). For swaps cleared under the Dodd Frank Act, a Central Counterparty Clearing House ("CCCH") now stands between the Company and the over-the-counter derivative counterparties. In order to access clearing, the Company has entered into clearing agreements with Futures Commissions Merchants ("FCMs"). The daily exchange of variation margin associated with a CCCH centrally cleared derivative instrument is legally characterized as the daily settlement of the derivative instrument itself. Accordingly, the Company accounts for the daily receipt or payment of variation margin associated with its centrally cleared interest rate swaps and futures as a direct reduction to the carrying value of the interest rate swap and future derivative asset or liability, respectively. The carrying amount of centrally cleared interest rate swaps and futures reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets is equal to the unsettled fair value of such instruments. See Note 8 for more information. In determining the fair value of the Company's mortgage loans and securitized debt relating to the August 2019 VIE and the September 2020 VIE, the Company considers data such as loan origination information, additional updated borrower information, loan servicing data, as available, forward interest rates, general economic conditions, home price index forecasts and valuations of the underlying properties. The variables considered most significant to the determination of the fair value of the Company's mortgage loans include market-implied discount rates, projections of default rates, delinquency rates, prepayment rates and loss severity (considering mortgage insurance). Projections of default and prepayment rates are impacted by other variables such as reperformance rates and timeline to liquidation. The Company uses loan level data and macro-economic inputs to generate loss adjusted cash flows and other information in determining the fair value of its mortgage loans. Because of the inherent uncertainty of such valuation, the fair values established for mortgage loans held by the Company may differ from the fair values that would have been established if a ready market existed for these mortgage loans. The Manager may also engage specialized third party valuation service providers to assess and corroborate the valuation of a selection of investments in the Company’s loan portfolio and the Company's investment in Arc Home on a periodic basis. These specialized third party valuation service providers conduct independent valuation analyses based on a review of source documents, available market data, and comparable investments. The analyses provided by valuation service providers are reviewed and considered by the Manager. TBA instruments are similar in form to the Company’s Agency RMBS portfolio, and the Company therefore estimates fair value based on similar methods. Cash equivalents include investments in money market funds that invest primarily in short-term U.S. Treasury and Agency securities. These cash equivalent instruments are valued at their market quoted prices, which generally approximate cost plus accrued interest. Refer to Note 2 for more information on changes regarding the Company's leveling policy.

The table above includes the Company's investment in AG Arc, which is included in its Investments in Debt and Equity of Affiliates line item on the consolidated balance sheets, as the Company has chosen to elect the fair value option with respect to its investment pursuant to ASC 825. The Company did not have any transfers of assets or liabilities between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019. Refer to the tables below for details on transfers between the Level 3 and Level 2 categories under ASC 820. Transfers into the Level 3 category of the fair value hierarchy occur due to instruments exhibiting indications of reduced levels of market transparency. Transfers out of the Level 3 category of the fair value hierarchy occur due to instruments exhibiting indications of increased levels of market transparency and updates to the Company's leveling policy, which are detailed in Note 2. Indications of increases or decreases in levels of market transparency include a change in observable transactions or executable quotes involving these instruments or similar instruments. Changes in these indications could impact price transparency, and thereby cause a change in level designations in future periods.

As further described above, fair values for the Company’s securities portfolio are based upon prices obtained from third-party pricing services. Broker quotations may also be used. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s securities are yields, prepayment rates, probability of default, and loss severity in the event of default. Significant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the assumption used for the probability of default is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the loss severity and a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for prepayment rates. Also, as described above, valuation of the Company’s loan portfolio is determined by the Manager using third-party pricing services where available, specialized third party valuation service providers, or model-based pricing. The evaluation considers the underlying characteristics of each loan, which are observable inputs, including: coupon, maturity date, loan age, reset date, collateral type, periodic and life cap, geography, and prepayment speeds. The valuations of commercial loans also require significant judgments, which include assumptions regarding capitalization rates, re-performance rates, leasing, creditworthiness |

Financing arrangements | Financing arrangements The following table presents a summary of the Company's financing arrangements as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (in thousands). September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Repurchase agreements $ 164,304 $ 3,121,966 Revolving facilities (1) 61,200 111,502 Financing arrangements $ 225,504 $ 3,233,468 (1) Increasing the Company's borrowing capacity under the Company's revolving facilities requires consent of the lenders. In March 2020, the Company began engaging in discussions with its financing counterparties with regard to entering into forbearance agreements pursuant to which each participating counterparty would agree to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies with respect to an event of default under the applicable financing arrangement for an agreed-upon period. Pursuant to the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, the Participating Counterparties agreed to forbear from exercising any of their rights and remedies in respect of events of default and any and all other defaults under the applicable financing arrangement with the Company for the duration of the Forbearance Period. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had received notifications from several of its financing counterparties of alleged events of default under their repurchase agreements, and of those counterparties' intentions to accelerate the Company's performance obligations under the relevant agreements due to the Company's inability to meet certain margin calls as a result of market disruptions created by the COVID-19 pandemic. As discussed above, until a formal agreement was reached, the Company negotiated with its financing counterparties regarding the lenders' forbearance from exercising their rights and remedies under their applicable repurchase agreements. While as of March 31, 2020 certain lenders had accelerated the Company's obligations under their applicable repurchase agreements, upon execution of the Reinstatement Agreement, the terms of the Bilateral Agreements were reinstated, including the maturity dates of the repurchase agreements. As described above, on June 10, 2020, the Company and the Participating Counterparties entered into a Reinstatement Agreement, pursuant to which the parties agreed to terminate the Forbearance Agreement and each Participating Counterparty agreed to permanently waive all existing and prior events of default under its financing agreements with the Company and to reinstate each Bilateral Agreement, as it may be amended by agreement between the Participating Counterparty and the Company. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had met all margin calls related to its repurchase agreements. Refer to Note 13 for more information on deficiencies, all of which have been settled. For additional information related to the Forbearance Agreement and the Reinstatement Agreement, see Note 2 under "Financing Arrangements." Repurchase agreements A vast majority of the Company's financing arrangements have historically been effectuated through repurchase agreements. The Company pledges certain real estate securities and loans as collateral under repurchase agreements with financial institutions, the terms and conditions of which are negotiated on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Repurchase agreements involve the sale and a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the transferred assets or similar assets at a future date. The amount borrowed generally is equal to the fair value of the assets pledged less an agreed-upon discount, referred to as a "haircut." The Company calculates haircuts disclosed in the tables below by dividing the equity on each borrowing by the current fair value of each investment. Repurchase agreements are accounted for as financings and require the repurchase of the transferred assets at the end of each agreement’s term, typically 30 to 90 days. The carrying amount of the Company’s repurchase agreements approximates fair value due to their short-term maturities or floating rate coupons. If the Company maintains the beneficial interest in the specific assets pledged during the term of the borrowing, it receives the related principal and interest payments. If the Company does not maintain the beneficial interest in the specific assets pledged during the term of the borrowing, it will have the related principal and interest payments remitted to it by the lender. Interest rates on these borrowings are fixed based on prevailing rates corresponding to the terms of the borrowings, and interest is paid at the termination of the borrowing at which time the Company may enter into a new borrowing arrangement at prevailing market rates with the same counterparty or repay that counterparty and negotiate financing with a different counterparty. If the fair value of pledged assets declines due to changes in market conditions or the publishing of monthly security paydown factors, lenders typically would require the Company to post additional securities as collateral, pay down borrowings or establish cash margin accounts with the counterparties in order to re-establish the agreed-upon collateral requirements, referred to as margin calls. The fair value of financial instruments pledged as collateral on the Company’s repurchase agreements disclosed in the tables below represent the Company’s fair value of such instruments which may differ from the fair value assigned to the collateral by its counterparties. The Company maintains a level of liquidity in order to meet these obligations. Under the terms of the Company’s master repurchase agreements, the counterparties may, in certain cases, sell or re-hypothecate the pledged collateral. If the fair value of pledged assets increases due to changes in market conditions, counterparties may be required to return collateral to us in the form of securities or cash or post additional collateral to us.

The Company uses these derivatives and may also utilize other instruments to manage interest rate risk, including long and short positions in U.S. Treasury securities. The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to manage foreign currency risk and to protect the value or to fix the amount of certain investments or cash flows in terms of U.S. dollars. The following table presents the fair value of the Company's derivatives and other instruments and their balance sheet location at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (in thousands).

The Company has not offset or netted any derivatives or other instruments with any financial instruments or cash collateral posted or received. The Company must post cash or securities as collateral on its derivative instruments when their fair value declines. This typically occurs when prevailing market rates change adversely, with the severity of the change also dependent on the term of the derivatives involved. The posting of collateral is generally bilateral, meaning that if the fair value of the Company’s derivatives increases, its counterparty will post collateral to it. As of September 30, 2020, the Company did not pledge any real estate securities as collateral against certain derivatives and pledged $3.1 million of cash as collateral against certain derivatives. Of the $3.1 million of cash pledged as collateral against certain derivatives, $0.2 million represents amounts related to variation margin. As of December 31, 2019, the Company pledged real estate securities with a fair value of $3.0 million and cash of $32.1 million as collateral against certain derivatives. Of the $32.1 million of cash pledged as collateral against certain derivatives, $8.5 million represents amounts related to variation margin. The Company’s counterparties posted a de minimis amount of cash as collateral against certain derivatives as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Interest rate swaps To help mitigate exposure to increases in interest rates, the Company may use currently-paying and forward-starting, one- or three-month LIBOR-indexed, pay-fixed, receive-variable, interest rate swap agreements. This arrangement hedges the Company's exposure to higher interest rates because the variable-rate payments received on the swap agreements largely offset additional interest accruing on the related borrowings due to the higher interest rate, leaving the fixed-rate payments to be paid on the swap agreements as the Company’s effective borrowing rate, subject to certain adjustments including changes in spreads between variable rates on the swap agreements and actual borrowing rates. As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s interest rate swap positions consisted of pay-fixed interest rate swaps.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings per share | Earnings per share Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is calculated by dividing net income/(loss) available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding for that period that participate in the Company’s common dividends. Diluted EPS takes into account the effect of dilutive instruments, such as stock options, warrants, unvested restricted stock and unvested restricted stock units but uses the average share price for the period in determining the number of incremental shares that are to be added to the weighted average number of shares outstanding. The Company had no unvested restricted stock units as of September 30, 2020 and 20.0 thousand unvested restricted outstanding stock units as of September 30, 2019. Restricted stock units granted to the Manager do not entitle the participant the rights of a shareholder of the Company’s common stock, such as dividend and voting rights, until shares are issued in settlement of the vested units. The restricted stock units are not considered to be participating shares. The dilutive effects of the restricted stock units are only included in diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. The following table presents a reconciliation of the earnings and shares used in calculating basic and diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 (in thousands, except per share data): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 September 30, 2019 September 30, 2020 September 30, 2019 Numerator: Net Income/(Loss) from Continuing Operations $ 20,046 $ 11,106 $ (462,271) $ 61,166 Gain on Exchange Offer, net 539 — 539 — Dividends on preferred stock (5,563) (3,720) (16,897) (10,455) Net income/(loss) from continuing operations available to common stockholders $ 15,022 $ 7,386 $ (478,629) $ 50,711 Net Income/(Loss) from Discontinued Operations — (1,057) 361 (3,284) Net income/(loss) available to common stockholders $ 15,022 $ 6,329 $ (478,268) $ 47,427 Denominator: Basic weighted average common shares outstanding 34,422 32,736 33,347 32,007 Dilutive effect of restricted stock units — 12 — 9 Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding 34,422 32,748 33,347 32,016 Earnings/(Loss) Per Share - Basic Continuing Operations $ 0.44 $ 0.22 $ (14.35) $ 1.58 Discontinued Operations — (0.03) 0.01 (0.10) Total Earnings/(Loss) Per Share of Common Stock $ 0.44 $ 0.19 $ (14.34) $ 1.48 Earnings/(Loss) Per Share - Diluted Continuing Operations $ 0.44 $ 0.22 $ (14.35) $ 1.58 Discontinued Operations — (0.03) 0.01 (0.10) Total Earnings/(Loss) Per Share of Common Stock $ 0.44 $ 0.19 $ (14.34) $ 1.48 On March 27, 2020, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a suspension of the Company's quarterly dividends on its common stock, 8.25% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, 8.00% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, and 8.000% Series C Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, beginning with the common stock dividend that normally would have been declared in March 2020 and the preferred stock dividend that would have been declared in May 2020, in order to conserve capital and improve its liquidity position during the market volatility due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the Company did not declare or accrue quarterly dividends on its Common or Preferred Stock during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and the three months ended September 30, 2020. If the Company’s Board of Directors does not declare a dividend in a given period, an accrual is not recorded on the balance sheet. However, undeclared preferred stock dividends are reflected in earnings per share as discussed in ASC 260-10-45-11. Pursuant to their terms, all unpaid dividends on the Company’s preferred stock accrue without interest, and if dividends on the Company's preferred stock are in arrears, the Company cannot pay cash dividends with respect to its Common Stock. Refer to Note 12 for more information on the Company's common and preferred stock. Refer to "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Book value per share" for a discussion of the treatment of accumulated, unpaid, or undeclared preferred dividends on the Company's book value. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has approved, and the Company has declared and set apart for payment on December 17, 2020, the next regular payment date, all accrued and unpaid cash dividends on its 8.25% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, 8.00% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, and 8.000% Series C Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock that were in arrears as well as the full dividends payable on the preferred stock for the fourth quarter of 2020 in the amount of $1.54689, $1.50 and $1.50 per share, respectively. The dividends will be paid on December 17, 2020 to holders of record on November 30, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, the Company's book value does not include any accrual of accumulated, unpaid, or undeclared dividends on its Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. As such, the Company's book value will decrease by the amount of the dividends declared during the fourth quarter. The Company's book value per share as of September 30, 2020 would be $0.31 lower after deducting the accumulated and unpaid preferred dividends outstanding as of September 30, 2020. The following table details the aggregate and per-share amounts of arrearages in cumulative, unpaid, and undeclared preferred dividends as of September 30, 2020 (in thousands, except per share data): Class of Stock Dividend Per Preferred Share in Arrears Amount of Preferred Dividend in Arrears 8.25% Series A $ 1.03126 $ 2,091 8.00% Series B 1.00 4,569 8.000% Series C 1.00 4,571 Total $ 11,231 Preferred stock dividends that are not declared accumulate and are added to the liquidation preference as of the scheduled payment date for the respective series of the preferred stock.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income taxes | Income taxes As a REIT, the Company is not subject to federal income tax to the extent that it makes qualifying distributions to its stockholders, and provided it satisfies on a continuing basis, through actual investment and operating results, the REIT requirements including certain asset, income, distribution and stock ownership tests. Most states follow U.S. federal income tax treatment of REITs. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company did not record any excise tax expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded excise tax expense of $(0.8) million. The reversal of the previously accrued excise tax expense is a result of losses resulting from market conditions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded excise tax expense of $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Excise tax represents a four percent tax on the required amount of the Company’s ordinary income and net capital gains not distributed during the year. The expense is calculated in accordance with applicable tax regulations. The Company files tax returns in several U.S jurisdictions. There are no ongoing U.S. federal, state or local tax examinations related to the Company. The Company elected to treat certain domestic subsidiaries as TRSs and may elect to treat other subsidiaries as TRSs. In general, a TRS may hold assets and engage in activities that the Company cannot hold or engage in directly, and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate-related business. The Company elected to treat one of its foreign subsidiaries as a TRS and, accordingly, taxable income generated by this TRS may not be subject to local income taxation, but generally will be included in the Company’s income on a current basis as Subpart F income, whether or not distributed. Cash distributions declared by the Company that do not exceed its current or accumulated earnings and profits will be considered ordinary income to stockholders for income tax purposes unless all or a portion of a distribution is designated by the Company as a capital gain dividend. Distributions in excess of the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits will be characterized as return of capital or capital gains. Based on its analysis of any potential uncertain income tax positions, the Company concluded it did not have any uncertain tax positions that meet the recognition or measurement criteria of ASC 740 as of September 30, 2020 or September 30, 2019. The Company’s federal income tax returns for the last three tax years are open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. 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. |

Related Party Transactions [Abstract] | |
Related party transactions | Related party transactions The Company has entered into a management agreement with the Manager, which provided for an initial term and will be deemed renewed automatically each year for an additional one-year period, subject to certain termination rights. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, no event of termination had occurred. The Company is externally managed and advised by the Manager. Pursuant to the terms of the management agreement, which became effective July 6, 2011 (upon the consummation of the Company’s initial public offering (the "IPO")), the Manager provides the Company with its management team, including its officers, along with appropriate support personnel. Each of the Company’s officers is an employee of Angelo Gordon. The Company does not have any employees. The Manager, pursuant to a delegation agreement dated as of June 29, 2011, has delegated to Angelo Gordon the overall responsibility of its day-to-day duties and obligations arising under the Company’s management agreement. Management fee The Manager is entitled to a management fee equal to 1.50% per annum, calculated and paid quarterly, of the Company’s Stockholders’ Equity. For purposes of calculating the management fee, "Stockholders’ Equity" means the sum of the net proceeds from any issuances of equity securities (including preferred securities) since inception (allocated on a pro rata daily basis for such issuances during the fiscal quarter of any such issuance, and excluding any future equity issuance to the Manager), plus the Company’s retained earnings at the end of such quarter (without taking into account any non-cash equity compensation expense or other non-cash items described below incurred in current or prior periods), less any amount that the Company pays for repurchases of its common stock, excluding any unrealized gains, losses or other non-cash items that have impacted stockholders’ equity as reported in the Company’s financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, regardless of whether such items are included in other comprehensive income or loss, or in net income, and excluding one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP, and certain other non-cash charges after discussions between the Manager and the Company’s independent directors and after approval by a majority of the Company’s independent directors. Stockholders’ Equity, for purposes of calculating the management fee, could be greater or less than the amount of stockholders’ equity shown on the Company’s financial statements. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred management fees of approximately $1.7 million and $5.5 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred management fees of approximately $2.3 million and $7.1 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company recorded management fees payable of $1.2 million and $2.7 million, respectively. On April 6, 2020, the Company and the Manager executed an amendment to the management agreement pursuant to which the Manager agreed to defer the Company's payment of the management fee effective Q1 2020 through September 30, 2020, or such other time as the Company and the Manager agree. On September 24, 2020, the Company and the Manager executed another amendment (the "Second Management Agreement Amendment") to the management agreement, pursuant to which the Manager agreed to receive a portion of the accrued base management fee owed to it in shares of common stock. Pursuant to the Second Management Agreement Amendment, the Manager agreed to accept (i) 1,215,370 shares of common stock in full satisfaction of the deferred base management fee of $3.8 million payable by the Company in respect to the first and second quarters of 2020 and (ii) 154,500 shares of common stock in satisfaction of $0.5 million of the base management fee payable by the Company in respect to the third quarter of 2020. The shares of Common Stock issued to the Manager were valued at $3.15 per share based on the midpoint of the estimated range of the Company’s book value per share as of August 31, 2020. The remaining third quarter management fee will be paid in the normal course of business. Termination fee The termination fee, payable upon the occurrence of (i) the Company’s termination of the management agreement without cause or (ii) the Manager’s termination of the management agreement upon a breach by the Company of any material term of the management agreement, will be equal to three times the average annual management fee during the 24-month period prior to such termination, calculated as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, no event of termination of the management agreement had occurred. Expense reimbursement The Company is required to reimburse the Manager or its affiliates for operating expenses which are incurred by the Manager or its affiliates on behalf of the Company, including expenses relating to legal, accounting, due diligence and other services. The Company’s reimbursement obligation is not subject to any dollar limitation; however, the reimbursement is subject to an annual budget process which combines guidelines from the Management Agreement with oversight by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company reimburses the Manager or its affiliates for the Company’s allocable share of the compensation, including, without limitation, annual base salary, bonus, any related withholding taxes and employee benefits paid to (i) the Company’s chief financial officer based on the percentage of time spent on Company affairs, (ii) the Company’s general counsel based on the percentage of time spent on the Company’s affairs, and (iii) other corporate finance, tax, accounting, internal audit, legal, risk management, operations, compliance and other non-investment personnel of the Manager and its affiliates who spend all or a portion of their time managing the Company’s affairs based upon the percentage of time devoted by such personnel to the Company’s affairs. In their capacities as officers or personnel of the Manager or its affiliates, they devote such portion of their time to the Company’s affairs as is necessary to enable the Company to operate its business. Of the $5.9 million and $11.3 million of Other operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, the Company has incurred $2.3 million and $6.2 million, respectively, representing a reimbursement of expenses. Of the $6.1 million and $13.7 million of Other operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, the Company has incurred $1.6 million and $5.5 million, respectively, representing a reimbursement of expenses.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company has reimbursed the Manager for expenses through the second quarter of 2020. Expenses related to the third quarter will be paid in the normal course of business. Secured debt On April 10, 2020, in connection with the first Forbearance Agreement, the Company issued a secured promissory note (the "Note") to the Manager evidencing a $10 million loan made by the Manager to the Company. Additionally, on April 27, 2020, in connection with the second Forbearance Agreement, the Company and the Manager entered into an amendment to the Note to reflect an additional $10 million loan by the Manager to the Company. The $10 million loan made by the Manager on April 10, 2020 is payable on March 31, 2021, and the $10 million loan made on April 27, 2020 was repaid in full with interest when it matured on July 27, 2020. The unpaid balance of the Note accrues interest at a rate of 6.0% per annum. Interest on the Note is payable monthly in kind through the addition of such accrued monthly interest to the outstanding principal balance of the Note. Restricted stock grants Effective on April 15, 2020 upon the approval of the Company's stockholders at its Annual Meeting, the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan provides for 2,000,000 shares of common stock to be issued. The maximum number of shares of common stock granted during a single fiscal year to any non-employee director, taken together with any cash fees paid to such non-employee director during any fiscal year, shall not exceed $300,000 in total value (calculating the value of any such awards based on the grant date fair value). As of September 30, 2020, 1,901,106 shares of common stock were available to be awarded under the Equity Incentive Plan. Since its IPO, the Company has granted an aggregate of 204,688 and 40,250 shares of restricted common stock to its independent directors and Manager, respectively, and 120,000 restricted stock units to its Manager under its equity incentive plans. As of September 30, 2020, all the shares of restricted common stock granted to the Company’s Manager and independent directors have vested and all the restricted stock units granted to the Company’s Manager have vested. The units do not entitle the participant the rights of a holder of the Company’s common stock, such as dividend and voting rights, until shares are issued in settlement of the vested units. Director compensation Beginning in 2018, the Company began paying a $160,000 annual base director’s fee to each independent director. Base director’s fees are paid 50% in cash and 50% in restricted common stock. The number of shares of restricted common stock to be issued each quarter to each independent director is determined based on the average of the high and low prices of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the last trading day of each fiscal quarter. To the extent that any fractional shares would otherwise be issuable and payable to each independent director, a cash payment is made to each independent director in lieu of any fractional shares. All directors’ fees are paid pro rata (and restricted stock grants determined) on a quarterly basis in arrears, and shares issued are fully vested and non-forfeitable. These shares may not be sold or transferred by such director during the time of their service as an independent member of the Company’s board. Beginning in 2019, the Company increased the annual fee paid to the lead independent director from $15,000 to $25,000. On March 25, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors decreased from 5 independent directors to 4 independent directors. On June 19, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors decreased from 4 independent directors to 3 independent directors. Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement previously discussed, the Company, among other things, agreed to compensate its independent directors solely with common stock for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Through this subsidiary, Arc Home originates conforming, Government, Jumbo, Non-QM and other non-conforming residential mortgage loans, retains the mortgage servicing rights associated with the loans it originates, and purchases additional mortgage servicing rights from third-party sellers. Arc Home is led by an external management team. Arc Home may sell loans to the Company, to third parties, or to affiliates of the Manager. Arc Home may also enter into agreements with third parties or affiliates of the Manager to sell rights to receive the excess servicing spread related to MSRs that it either purchases from third parties or originates. The Company, directly or through its subsidiaries, has entered into agreements with Arc Home to purchase rights to receive the excess servicing spread related to certain of Arc Home's MSRs.

Beginning in November 2015, the Company also engaged Red Creek Asset Management LLC ("Asset Manager"), an affiliate of the Manager and direct subsidiary of Angelo Gordon, as the asset manager for certain of its Re/Non-Performing Loans. Beginning in September 2019, the Company engaged the Asset Manager as the asset manager for its non-QM loans. The Company pays the Asset Manager separate arm’s-length asset management fees as assessed and confirmed periodically by a third party valuation firm for its Re/Non-Performing Loans and non-QM loans. In the third quarter of 2019, the third party assessment of asset management fees resulted in the Company updating the fee amount for its Re/Non-Performing Loans. The Company also utilized the third party valuation firm to establish the fee level for non-QM loans in the third quarter of 2019. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the fees paid by the Company to the Asset Manager totaled $0.6 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

As of September 30, 2020, $591.2 million of the Company’s securities, including capital stock, was available for issuance under the 2018 Registration Statement. The 2018 Registration Statement became effective on May 18, 2018 and will expire on May 18, 2021. Concurrently with the IPO in 2011, the Company completed a private placement of 3,205,000 units at $20.00 per share to a limited number of investors qualifying as "accredited investors" under Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Each unit consisted of one share of common stock ("private placement share") and a warrant ("private placement warrant") to purchase 0.50 of a share of common stock. Each private placement warrant had an exercise price of $20.50 per share (as adjusted for reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or other dispositions) and expired on July 6, 2018. No warrants were exercised in 2018 through the expiration date on July 6, 2018. In addition to the Company’s Series A and Series B Preferred Stock, the Company completed a public offering of 4,000,000 shares of 8.000% Series C Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share (the "Series C Preferred Stock") on September 17, 2019. The Company subsequently issued 600,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to the underwriters' exercise of their over-allotment option. The Company received total gross proceeds of $115.0 million and net proceeds of approximately $111.2 million, net of underwriting discounts, commissions and expenses. The Company’s Series A, Series B and Series C Preferred Stock have no stated maturity and are not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption. Under certain circumstances upon a change of control, the Company’s Series A, Series B and Series C Preferred Stock are convertible to shares of the Company’s common stock. Holders of the Company’s Series A, Series B and Series C Preferred Stock have no voting rights, except under limited conditions, and holders are entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends at a the respective stated rate per annum before holders of the common stock are entitled to receive any cash dividends. The dividend rate of the Series A and Series B preferred stock is 8.25% and 8.00% per annum, respectively, of the $25.00 per share liquidation preference. The initial dividend rate for the Series C Preferred Stock, from and including the date of original issue to, but not including, September 17, 2024, is 8.000% per annum of the $25.00 per share liquidation preference. On and after September 17, 2024, dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock will accumulate at a percentage of the $25.00 liquidation preference equal to an annual floating rate of the then three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 6.476% per annum. Shares of the Company’s Series A and Series B Preferred Stock are currently redeemable at $25.00 per share plus accumulated and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) exclusively at the Company’s option. Shares of the Company's Series C Preferred Stock are redeemable at $25.00 per share plus accumulated and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) exclusively at the Company’s option commencing on September 17, 2024, or earlier under certain circumstances intended to preserve its qualification as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes. Dividends are payable quarterly in arrears on the 17th day of each March, June, September and December. The Company's Series A, Series B and Series C Preferred Stock generally do not have any voting rights, subject to an exception in the event the Company fails to pay dividends on such stock for six or more quarterly periods (whether or not consecutive). Under such circumstances, holders of the Company's Series A, Series B and Series C Preferred Stock voting together as a single class with the holders of all other classes or series of its preferred stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable and which are entitled to vote as a class with the Company's Series A, Series B and Series C Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote to elect two additional directors to the Company’s Board of Directors until all unpaid dividends have been paid or declared and set apart for payment. In addition, certain material and adverse changes to the terms of any series of the Company's Series A, Series B and Series C Preferred Stock cannot be made without the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the series of the Company's Series A, Series B and Series C Preferred Stock whose terms are being changed. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had not declared all required quarterly dividends on the Company’s Series A, Series B and Series C Preferred Stock. On March 27, 2020, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a suspension of the Company's quarterly dividends on its 8.25% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, 8.00% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock and 8.000% Series C Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, beginning with the preferred dividend that would have been declared in May 2020, in order to conserve capital and improve its liquidity position during the market volatility due to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as a suspension of the quarterly dividend on the Common Stock, beginning with the dividend that normally would have been declared in March 2020. Refer to Note 9 for more information on the arrearages related to the Company's preferred stock. Under the terms of the Company's charter governing its series of preferred stock, the Company cannot pay cash dividends with respect to its common stock if dividends on its preferred stock are in arrears. On November 3, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program ("Repurchase Program") to repurchase up to $25.0 million of the Company's outstanding common stock. Such authorization does not have an expiration date. As part of the Repurchase Program, shares may be purchased in open market transactions, including through block purchases, through privately negotiated transactions, or pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. Open market repurchases will be made in accordance with Exchange Act Rule 10b-18, which sets certain restrictions on the method, timing, price and volume of open market stock repurchases. Subject to applicable securities laws, the timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases of common stock under the Repurchase Program may be determined by the Company in its discretion, using available cash resources. Shares of common stock repurchased by the Company under the Repurchase Program, if any, will be cancelled and, until reissued by the Company, will be deemed to be authorized but unissued shares of its common stock as required by Maryland law. The Repurchase Program may be suspended or discontinued by the Company at any time and without prior notice and the authorization does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock. The cost of the acquisition by the Company of shares of its own stock in excess of the aggregate par value of the shares first reduces additional paid-in capital, to the extent available, with any residual cost applied against retained earnings. No shares were repurchased under the Repurchase Program during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, and approximately $14.6 million of common stock remained authorized for future share repurchases under the Repurchase Program. On May 5, 2017, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement with each of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and JMP Securities LLC (collectively, the "Sales Agents"), which the Company refers to as the "Equity Distribution Agreements," pursuant to which the Company may sell up to $100.0 million aggregate offering price of shares of its common stock from time to time through the Sales Agents under the Securities Act of 1933.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Cash and cash equivalents | Cash and cash equivalents Cash is comprised of cash on deposit with financial institutions. The Company classifies highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase as cash equivalents. Cash equivalents includes cash invested in money market funds. As of September 30, 2020, the Company held $44.6 million of cash and cash equivalents, none of which were cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2019, the Company held $81.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, of which $53.2 million were cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with high credit quality institutions to reduce credit risk exposure. Cash pledged to the Company as collateral is unrestricted in use and, accordingly, is included as a component of "Cash and cash equivalents" on the consolidated balance sheets. Any cash held by the Company as collateral is included in the "Other liabilities" line item on the consolidated balance sheets and in cash flows from financing activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows. Due to broker, which is included in the "Other liabilities" line item on the consolidated balance sheets, does not include variation margin received on centrally cleared derivatives. See Note 8 for more detail. Any cash due to the Company in the form of principal payments is included in the "Other assets" line item on the consolidated balance sheets and in cash flows from operating activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows. |
Restricted cash | Restricted cash Restricted cash includes cash pledged as collateral for clearing and executing trades, derivatives, and financing arrangements, as well as restricted cash deposited into accounts held at certain consolidated trusts. Prior to the disposition of the Company's SFR portfolio, restricted cash also included cash deposited into accounts related to rent deposits and collections, security deposits, property taxes, insurance premiums, interest expenses, property management fees and capital expenditures. Restricted cash is not available to the Company for general corporate purposes. Restricted cash may be returned to the Company when the related collateral requirements are exceeded or at the maturity of the derivative or financing arrangement. Restricted cash is carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Restricted cash does not include variation margin pledged on centrally cleared derivatives. See Note 8 for more detail. |
Offering costs | Offering costs The Company has incurred offering costs in connection with common stock offerings, registration statements, preferred stock offerings and exchanges. Where applicable, the offering costs were paid out of the proceeds of the respective offerings. Offering costs in connection with common stock offerings and costs in connection with registration statements have been accounted for as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. Offering costs in connection with preferred stock offerings have been accounted for as a reduction of their respective gross proceeds. Exchange costs in connection with the Company's preferred stock exchanges have been accounted for as a reduction to the Company's retained earnings. |
Use of estimates | Use of estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates. See Note 1 under " COVID-19 Impact " for more detail. |
Earnings/(Loss) per share | Earnings/(Loss) per share In accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 260, "Earnings per Share," the Company calculates basic income/(loss) per share by dividing net income/(loss) available to common stockholders for the period by weighted average shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding for that period. Diluted income per share takes into account the effect of dilutive instruments, such as stock options, warrants, unvested restricted stock and unvested restricted stock units but uses the average share price for the period in determining the number of incremental shares that are to be added to the weighted average number of shares outstanding. In periods in which the Company records a loss, potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation, as their effect on loss per share is anti-dilutive. See Note 9 for aggregate amounts of arrearages in cumulative preferred dividends and Note 12 for further detail on the Company’s common and preferred stock. |
Valuation of financial instruments | Valuation of financial instruments The fair value of the financial instruments that the Company records at fair value is determined by the Manager, subject to oversight of the Company’s Board of Directors, and in accordance with ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures." When possible, the Company determines fair value using independent data sources. ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below: • Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2 – Prices determined using other significant observable inputs. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others. • Level 3 – Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available. Transfers between levels are assumed to occur at the beginning of the reporting period. At the beginning of the first quarter of 2020, the Manager completed a data collection and analysis effort, which supported an update to its Leveling policy under ASC 820. Among the data collected and analyzed were: (i) reports from TRACE, FINRA’s Trade Reporting and Compliance Engine, that reports over-the-counter secondary market transactions in eligible fixed income securities, (ii) information from pricing vendors regarding valuation approaches and observability of market color, (iii) data points collected from discussions with industry sources, including peer firms and audit firms, and (iv) its own data from back testing vendor pricing against its own trades. After analyzing this data, the Manager concluded that there was sufficient observability of market inputs used by its third-party pricing services for certain RMBS and CMBS positions previously categorized as Level 3 to meet the criteria for a Level 2 classification. The Company considered whether the volatile market conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic would have an impact on its Leveling policy under ASC 820, as amended on January 1, 2020. Based on due diligence, there have been no significant changes in any of the pricing services’ fair value methodologies or processes as a result of COVID-19. The Company does not believe the pricing services’ ability to determine fair values has been adversely impacted. As a result, the Company concluded there was no migration from Level 2 to Level 3 as a result of COVID-19. |
Accounting for real estate securities | Accounting for real estate securities Investments in real estate securities are recorded in accordance with ASC 320-10, "Investments – Debt and Equity Securities," ASC 325-40, "Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets," or ASC 310-30, "Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality." The Company has chosen to make a fair value election pursuant to ASC 825, "Financial Instruments" for its real estate securities portfolio. Real estate securities are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets and the periodic change in fair value is recorded in current period earnings on the consolidated statement of operations as a component of "Unrealized gain/(loss) on real estate securities and loans, net." Real estate securities acquired are shown in the line item "Purchase of real estate securities" on the consolidated statement of cash flows. Purchases and sales of real estate securities are recorded on the trade date. These investments meet the requirements to be classified as available for sale under ASC 320-10-25 which requires the securities to be carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets with changes in fair value recorded to other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity. Electing the fair value option allows the Company to record changes in fair value in the consolidated statement of operations, which, in management’s view, more appropriately reflects the results of operations for a particular reporting period as all securities activities will be recorded in a similar manner. The Company recognizes certain upfront costs and fees relating to securities for which the fair value option has been elected in current period earnings as incurred and does not defer those costs, which is in accordance with ASC 825-10-25. When the Company purchases securities with evidence of credit deterioration since origination, it will analyze the securities to determine if the guidance found in ASC 310-30 is applicable. In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses" ("ASU 2016-13"). This new guidance significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets, including loans, that are not measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized through net income. The Company adopted the new guidance as of January 1, 2020. The new guidance specifically excludes available-for-sale securities and loans measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized through net income. Accordingly, the impact of the new guidance on accounting for the Company's debt securities and loans is limited to recognition of effective yield which was historically impacted by other than temporary impairment recorded under current standards. As the new guidance eliminates the accounting for other than temporary impairment, this guidance has impacted the Company's unrealized and realized gain/(loss) amounts. As the Company measures its debt securities and loans at fair value with any changes recognized through net income and updates its estimate of the cash flows expected to be collected on these asset classes on at least a quarterly basis recognizing changes in cash flows in interest income prospectively through an adjustment of an asset’s yield over its remaining life, the adoption of the standard did not have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-13, the Company accounted for its securities under ASC 310 and ASC 325 and evaluated securities for other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") on at least a quarterly basis. The determination of whether a security was other-than-temporarily impaired involved judgments and assumptions based on subjective and objective factors. When the fair value of a real estate security was less than its amortized cost at the balance sheet date, the security was considered impaired, and the impairment was designated as either "temporary" or "other-than-temporary." When a real estate security was impaired, an OTTI was considered to have occurred if (i) the Company intended to sell the security (i.e., a decision has been made as of the reporting date) or (ii) it was more likely than not that the Company was required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If the Company intended to sell the security or if it was more likely than not that the Company was required to sell the real estate security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the entire amount of the impairment loss, if any, was recognized in earnings as a realized loss and the cost basis of the security was adjusted to its fair value. Additionally, for securities accounted for under ASC 325-40 an OTTI was deemed to have occurred when there was an adverse change in the expected cash flows to be received and the fair value of the security was less than its carrying amount. In determining whether an adverse change in cash flows occurred, the present value of the remaining cash flows, as estimated at the initial transaction date (or the last date previously revised), was compared to the present value of the expected cash flows at the current reporting date. The estimated cash flows reflected those a "market participant" would use and included observations of current information and events, and assumptions related to fluctuations in interest rates, prepayment speeds and the timing and amount of potential credit losses. Cash flows were discounted at a rate equal to the current yield used to accrete interest income. Any resulting OTTI adjustments were reflected in the "Net realized gain/(loss)" line item on the consolidated statement of operations. The determination as to whether an OTTI existed was subjective, given that such determination was based on information available at the time of assessment as well as the Company’s estimate of the future performance and cash flow projections for the individual security. As a result, the timing and amount of an OTTI constituted an accounting estimate that could change materially over time. Increases in interest income could have been recognized on a security on which the Company previously recorded an OTTI charge if the performance of such security subsequently improved. Sales of securities are driven by the Manager’s portfolio management process. The Manager seeks to mitigate risks including those associated with prepayments, defaults, severities, amongst others and will opportunistically rotate the portfolio into securities with more favorable attributes. Strategies may also be employed to manage net capital gains, which need to be distributed for tax purposes. Realized gains or losses on sales of securities, loans and derivatives are included in the "Net realized gain/(loss)" line item on the consolidated statement of operations. The cost of positions sold is calculated using a first in, first out ("FIFO") basis. Realized gains and losses are recorded in earnings at the time of disposition. |
Accounting for residential and commercial mortgage loans | Accounting for residential and commercial mortgage loans Investments in mortgage loans are recorded in accordance with ASC 310-10, "Receivables." At purchase, the Company may aggregate its mortgage loans into pools based on common risk characteristics. Once a pool of loans is assembled, its composition is maintained. The Company has chosen to make a fair value election pursuant to ASC 825 for its mortgage loan portfolio. Electing the fair value option allows the Company to record changes in fair value in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, which, in management's view, more appropriately reflects the results of operations for a particular reporting period as all loan activities will be recorded in a similar manner. As such, loans are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets and any periodic change in fair value is recorded in current period earnings on the consolidated statement of operations as a component of "Unrealized gain/(loss) on real estate securities and loans, net." The Company recognizes certain upfront costs and fees relating to loans for which the fair value option has been elected in current period earnings as incurred and does not defer those costs, which is in accordance with ASC 825-10-25. Purchases and sales of mortgage loans are recorded on the settlement date, concurrent with the completion of due diligence and the removal of any contingencies. Prior to the settlement date, the Company will include commitments to purchase loans within the Commitments and Contingencies footnote to the financial statements. The Company amortizes or accretes any premium or discount over the life of the loans utilizing the effective interest method. On at least a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates the collectability of both interest and principal on its loans to determine whether they are impaired. A loan or pool of loans is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms. Income recognition is suspended for loans at the earlier of the date at which payments become 90-days past due or when, in the opinion of the Manager, a full recovery of income and principal becomes doubtful. When the ultimate collectability of the principal of an impaired loan or pool of loans is in doubt, all payments are applied to principal under the cost recovery method. When the ultimate collectability of the principal of an impaired loan is not in doubt, contractual interest is recorded as interest income when received, under the cash basis method until an accrual is resumed when the loan becomes contractually current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed. A loan is written off when it is no longer realizable and/or legally discharged. When the Company purchases mortgage loans with evidence of credit deterioration since origination and it determines that it is probable it will not collect all contractual cash flows on those loans, it will apply the guidance found in ASC 310-30. Mortgage loans that are delinquent 60 or more days are considered non-performing. The Company updates its estimate of the cash flows expected to be collected on at least a quarterly basis for loans accounted for under ASC 310-30. In estimating these cash flows, there are a number of assumptions that will be subject to uncertainties and contingencies including both the rate and timing of principal and interest receipts, and assumptions of prepayments, repurchases, defaults and liquidations. If based on the most current information and events it is probable that there is a significant increase in cash flows previously expected to be collected or if actual cash flows are significantly greater than cash flows previously expected, the Company will recognize these changes prospectively through an adjustment of the loan’s yield over its remaining life. The Company will adjust the amount of accretable yield by reclassification from the nonaccretable difference. The adjustment is accounted for as a change in estimate in conformity with ASC 250, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections" with the amount of periodic accretion adjusted over the remaining life of the loan. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-13, decreases in cash flows expected to be collected from previously projected cash flows, which included all cash flows originally expected to be collected by the investor plus any additional cash flows expected to be collected arising from changes in estimate after acquisition, could have been recognized as impairment. Increases in interest income could have been recognized on a loan on which the Company previously recorded an OTTI charge if the performance of such loan subsequently improved. |
Investments in debt and equity of affiliates | Investments in debt and equity of affiliates The Company’s unconsolidated ownership interests in affiliates are accounted for using the equity method. A majority of the Company’s investments held through affiliated entities are comprised of real estate securities, Excess MSRs, loans, and certain derivatives. These types of investments may also be held directly by the Company. These entities have chosen to make a fair value election on their financial instruments and certain financing arrangements pursuant to ASC 825; as such, the Company will treat these financial instruments and financing arrangements consistently with this election. On December 9, 2015, the Company, alongside private funds managed by Angelo Gordon, through AG Arc LLC, one of the Company’s indirect subsidiaries ("AG Arc"), formed Arc Home LLC ("Arc Home"). In June 2016, Arc Home closed on the acquisition of a Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA, VA and Ginnie Mae seller/servicer of residential mortgages. Through this subsidiary, Arc Home originates conforming, Government, Jumbo, Non-QM, and other non-conforming residential mortgage loans, retains the mortgage servicing rights associated with the loans it originates, and purchases additional mortgage servicing rights from third-party sellers. The Company has chosen to make a fair value election with respect to its investment in AG Arc pursuant to ASC 825. On August 29, 2017, the Company, alongside private funds managed by Angelo Gordon, formed Mortgage Acquisition Holding I LLC ("MATH") to conduct a residential mortgage investment strategy. MATH in turn sponsored the formation of an entity called Mortgage Acquisition Trust I LLC ("MATT") to purchase predominantly "Non-QM" loans, which are residential mortgage loans that are not deemed "qualified mortgage," or "QM," loans under the rules of the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau. Non-QM loans are not eligible for delivery to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or Ginnie Mae. MATT has made an election to be treated as a real estate investment trust beginning with the 2018 tax year. On April 3, 2020, the Company, alongside private funds under the management of Angelo Gordon, restructured its financing arrangements in MATT ("Restructured Financing Arrangement"). The Restructured Financing Arrangement requires all principal and interest on the underlying assets in MATT be used to pay down principal and interest on the outstanding financing arrangement. As of April 3, 2020, the Restructured Financing Arrangement is no longer a mark-to-market facility with respect to margin calls and is non-recourse to the Company. The Restructured Financing Arrangement provides for a termination date of October 1, 2021. At the earlier of the termination date or the securitization or sale by the Company of the remaining assets subject to the Restructured Financing Arrangement, the financing counterparty (which is a non-affiliate) will be entitled to 35% of the remaining equity in the assets. The Company evaluated this restructuring and concluded it was an extinguishment of debt. MATT has chosen to make a fair value election on this financing arrangement, and the Company will treat this arrangement consistently with this election. On May 15, 2019 and November 14, 2019, the Company, alongside private funds managed by Angelo Gordon, formed LOT SP I LLC and LOT SP II LLC, respectively, (collectively, "LOTS"). LOTS were formed to originate first mortgage loans to third party land developers and home builders for the acquisition and horizontal development of land ("Land Related Financing"). The below table reconciles the fair value of investments to the "Investments in debt and equity of affiliates" line item on the Company's consolidated balance sheet (in thousands). September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Assets Liabilities Equity Assets Liabilities Equity Real Estate Securities, Excess MSRs and Loans, at fair value (1)(2) $ 217,643 $ (123,861) $ 93,782 $ 373,126 $ (257,068) $ 116,058 AG Arc, at fair value 41,436 — 41,436 28,546 — 28,546 Cash and Other assets/(liabilities) 4,925 (1,454) 3,471 12,953 (1,246) 11,707 Investments in debt and equity of affiliates $ 264,004 $ (125,315) $ 138,689 $ 414,625 $ (258,314) $ 156,311 (1) Certain loans held in securitized form are presented net of non-recourse securitized debt. (2) Within Real Estate Securities, Excess MSRs and Loans is $152.5 million and $254.3 million of fair value of Non-QM loans held in MATT at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The related financing on the Non-QM loans was $117.0 million and $200.3 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. As of September 30, 2020, Non-QM Loans excluded loans with an unpaid principal balance of $24.5 million whereby an affiliate of MATT has the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase loans from a trust that are 90 days or more delinquent at its discretion. These loans, which are eligible to be repurchased, would be recorded on the balance sheet of MATT, an unconsolidated equity method investee of the Company, with a corresponding and offsetting liability. Additionally, there is $25.5 million and $17.0 million of fair value of Land Related Financing held in LOTS at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The Company’s investments in debt and equity of affiliates are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets in the "Investments in debt and equity of affiliates" line item and periodic changes in fair value are recorded in current period earnings on the consolidated statement of operations as a component of "Equity in earnings/(loss) from affiliates." Capital contributions, distributions and profits and losses of such entities are allocated in accordance with the terms of the applicable agreements. |
Accounting for excess mortgage servicing rights | Accounting for excess mortgage servicing rights The Company has acquired the right to receive the excess servicing spread related to Excess MSRs. The Company has chosen to make a fair value election pursuant to ASC 825 for Excess MSRs. Excess MSRs are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets and any periodic change in fair value is recorded in current period earnings on the consolidated statement of operations as a component of "Unrealized gain/(loss) on derivative and other instruments, net." The Company amortizes or accretes any premium or discount over the life of the related Excess MSRs utilizing the effective interest method. On at least a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates the collectability of interest of its Excess MSRs to determine whether they are impaired. The Company updates its estimate of the cash flows expected to be collected on at least a quarterly basis for Excess MSRs. In estimating these cash flows, there are a number of assumptions that will be subject to uncertainties and contingencies including both the rate and timing of interest receipts, and assumptions of prepayments, repurchases, defaults and liquidations. If there is a significant increase in expected cash flows over what was previously expected to be collected or if actual cash flows are significantly greater than cash flows previously expected, the Company will recognize these changes prospectively through an adjustment of the Excess MSR’s yield over its remaining life. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-13, decreases in cash flows expected to be collected from previously projected cash flows, which included all cash flows originally expected to be collected by the investor plus any additional cash flows expected to be collected arising from changes in estimate after acquisition, could have been recognized as impairment. Increases in interest income could have been recognized on an Excess MSR on which the Company previously recorded an OTTI charge if the performance of such Excess MSR subsequently improved. |
Investment consolidation and transfers of financial assets | Investment consolidation and transfers of financial assets For each investment made, the Company evaluates the underlying entity that issued the securities acquired or to which the Company makes a loan to determine the appropriate accounting. A similar analysis is performed for each entity with which the Company enters into an agreement for management, servicing or related services. In performing the analysis, the Company refers to guidance in ASC 810-10, "Consolidation." In situations where the Company is the transferor of financial assets, the Company refers to the guidance in ASC 860-10 "Transfers and Servicing." In variable interest entities ("VIEs"), an entity is subject to consolidation under ASC 810-10 if the equity investors either do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, are unable to direct the entity’s activities or are not exposed to the entity’s losses or entitled to its residual returns. VIEs within the scope of ASC 810-10 are required to be consolidated by their primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is determined to be the party that has both the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This determination can sometimes involve complex and subjective analyses. Further, ASC 810-10 also requires ongoing assessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. In accordance with ASC 810-10, all transferees, including variable interest entities, must be evaluated for consolidation. If the Company determines that consolidation is not required, it will then assess whether the transfer of the underlying assets would qualify as a sale, should be accounted for as secured financings under GAAP, or should be accounted for as an equity method investment, depending on the circumstances. See Note 3 and Note 4 for more detail. A Special Purpose Entity ("SPE") is an entity designed to fulfill a specific limited need of the company that organized it. SPEs are often used to facilitate transactions that involve securitizing financial assets or resecuritizing previously securitized financial assets. The objective of such transactions may include obtaining non-recourse financing, obtaining liquidity or refinancing the underlying securitized financial assets on improved terms. Securitization involves transferring assets to an SPE to convert all or a portion of those assets into cash before they would have been realized in the normal course of business through the SPE’s issuance of debt or equity instruments. Investors in an SPE usually have recourse only to the assets in the SPE and depending on the overall structure of the transaction, may benefit from various forms of credit enhancement, such as over-collateralization in the form of excess assets in the SPE, priority with respect to receipt of cash flows relative to holders of other debt or equity instruments issued by the SPE, or a line of credit or other form of liquidity agreement that is designed with the objective of ensuring that investors receive principal and/or interest cash flow on the investment in accordance with the terms of their investment agreement. The Company entered into a resecuritization transaction in 2014 (the "December 2014 VIE") which resulted in the Company consolidating the VIE that was created to facilitate the transaction and to which the underlying assets in connection with the resecuritization were transferred. The transferred assets were recorded as a secured borrowing. The Company has chosen to make a fair value election pursuant to ASC 825 for its secured borrowings. As of September 30, 2020, the Company did not hold any interest in the December 2014 VIE. In connection with the deconsolidation, the Company recorded a realized gain of $2.1 million. See Note 3 below for more detail. The Company transferred certain of its CMBS in Q3 2018 from certain of its non-wholly owned subsidiaries into a newly formed wholly owned entity so the Company could obtain financing on these real estate securities (the "August 2018 VIE"). The Company determined that the August 2018 VIE should be consolidated. As of September 30, 2020, the Company did not hold any interest in the August 2018 VIE. In connection with the deconsolidation, the Company recorded a loss of $8.3 million. See Note 3 below as well as the "Investments in debt and equity of affiliates" section above for more detail. The Company entered into securitization transactions of certain of its re-performing residential mortgage loans, which resulted in the Company consolidating the respective VIEs that were created to facilitate these transactions and to which the underlying assets in connection with these securitizations were transferred (the "August 2019 VIE" and the "September 2020 VIE"). Based on the evaluations of each VIE, the Company concluded that the VIEs should be consolidated and, as a result, transferred assets of these VIEs were determined to be secured borrowings. Upon consolidation, the Company elected the fair value option pursuant to ASC 825 for the assets and liabilities of the August 2019 VIE and September 2020 VIE. Electing the fair value option allows the Company to record changes in fair value in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, which, in management's view, more appropriately reflects the results of operations for a particular reporting period as all activities will be recorded in a similar manner. See Note 4 for more detail regarding these VIEs. Refer to Note 6 related to the Company's determination of fair value for the assets and liabilities included within these VIEs. From time to time the Company purchases residual positions where it consolidates the securitization and the positions are recorded on the Company's books as residential mortgage loans. There may be limited data available regarding the underlying collateral of such securitizations. The Company may periodically enter into transactions in which it transfers assets to a third party. Upon a transfer of financial assets, the Company will sometimes retain or acquire senior or subordinated interests in the related assets. Pursuant to ASC 860-10, a determination must be made as to whether a transferor has surrendered control over transferred financial assets. That determination must consider the transferor’s continuing involvement in the transferred financial asset, including all arrangements or agreements made contemporaneously with, or in contemplation of, the transfer, even if they were not entered into at the time of the transfer. The financial components approach under ASC 860-10 limits the circumstances in which a financial asset, or portion of a financial asset, should be derecognized when the transferor has not transferred the entire original financial asset to an entity that is not consolidated with the transferor in the financial statements being presented and/or when the transferor has continuing involvement with the transferred financial asset. It defines the term "participating interest" to establish specific conditions for reporting a transfer of a portion of a financial asset as a sale. Under ASC 860-10, after a transfer of financial assets that meets the criteria for treatment as a sale—legal isolation, ability of transferee to pledge or exchange the transferred assets without constraint and transferred control—an entity recognizes the financial and servicing assets it acquired or retained and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets it has sold and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished. The transferor would then determine the gain or loss on sale of financial assets by allocating the carrying value of the underlying mortgage between securities or loans sold and the interests retained based on their fair values. The gain or loss on sale is the difference between the cash proceeds from the sale and the amount allocated to the securities or loans sold. When a transfer of financial assets does not qualify for sale accounting, ASC 860-10 requires the transfer to be accounted for as a secured borrowing with a pledge of collateral. From time to time, the Company may securitize mortgage loans it holds if such financing is available. These transactions will be recorded in accordance with ASC 860-10 and will be accounted for as either a "sale" and the loans will be removed from the |
Interest income recognition | Interest income recognition Interest income on the Company’s real estate securities portfolio is accrued based on the actual coupon rate and the outstanding principal balance of such securities. The Company has elected to record interest in accordance with ASC 835-30-35-2, "Imputation of Interest," using the effective interest method for all securities accounted for under the fair value option (ASC 825). As such, premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted into interest income over the lives of the securities in accordance with ASC 310-20, "Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs," ASC 320-10 or ASC 325-40, as applicable. Total interest income is recorded in the "Interest income" line item on the consolidated statement of operations. On at least a quarterly basis for securities accounted for under ASC 320-10 and ASC 310-20 (generally Agency RMBS, exclusive of interest-only securities), prepayments of the underlying collateral must be estimated, which directly affect the speed at which the Company amortizes premiums on its securities. If actual and anticipated cash flows differ from previous estimates, the Company records an adjustment in the current period to the amortization of premiums for the impact of the cumulative change in the effective yield retrospectively through the reporting date. Similarly, the Company also reassesses the cash flows on at least a quarterly basis for securities accounted for under ASC 325-40 (generally Non-Agency RMBS, ABS, CMBS, interest-only securities and Excess MSRs). In estimating these cash flows, there are a number of assumptions made that are uncertain and subject to judgments and assumptions based on subjective and objective factors and contingencies. These include the rate and timing of principal and interest receipts (including assumptions of prepayments, repurchases, defaults and liquidations), the pass-through or coupon rate and interest rate fluctuations. In addition, interest payment shortfalls due to delinquencies on the underlying mortgage loans have to be estimated. Differences between previously estimated cash flows and current actual and anticipated cash flows are recognized prospectively through an adjustment of the yield over the remaining life of the security based on the current amortized cost of the investment as adjusted for credit impairment, if any. Interest income on the Company’s loan portfolio is accrued based on the actual coupon rate and the outstanding principal balance of such loans. The Company has elected to record interest in accordance with ASC 835-30-35-2 using the effective interest method for all loans accounted for under the fair value option (ASC 825). Any amortization or accretion is reflected as an adjustment to interest income in the consolidated statement of operations. |
Financing arrangements | Financing arrangements The Company finances the acquisition of certain assets within its portfolio through the use of financing arrangements. Financing arrangements include repurchase agreements and financing facilities. The Company's financing facilities include revolving facilities. Repurchase agreements and financing facilities are treated as collateralized financing transactions and carried at their contractual amounts, including accrued interest, as specified in the respective agreements. The carrying amount of the Company’s repurchase agreements and revolving facilities approximates fair value. The Company pledges certain securities, loans or properties as collateral under financing arrangements with financial institutions, the terms and conditions of which are negotiated on a transaction-by-transaction basis. The amounts available to be |
Recent accounting pronouncements | Recent accounting pronouncementsIn June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses" ("ASU 2016-13"). This new guidance significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets, including loans, that are not measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized through net income. The guidance replaces the existing “incurred loss” model with an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost. It requires entities to record credit allowances for available-for-sale debt securities rather than reduce the carrying amount, as it currently is under the other-than temporary impairment model. The new guidance also simplifies the accounting model for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans. The Company adopted the new guidance as of January 1, 2020. The new guidance specifically excludes available-for-sale securities and loans measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized through net income. Accordingly, the impact of the new guidance on accounting for the Company's debt securities and loans is limited to recognition of effective yield which was historically impacted by other than temporary impairment recorded under previously existing standards. As the new guidance eliminates the accounting for other than temporary impairment, this guidance had an impact on the Company's unrealized and realized gain/(loss) amounts. |
