Fair Value of Financial Instruments

3 Months Ended

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Using Significant Unobservable Inputs

We evaluate our financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis to determine the appropriate level at which to classify them for each reporting period. Our interest rate cap is reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. The fair value is determined using third party valuations that are based on discounted cash flow analysis using observed market inputs.

The following tables present information about our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (in thousands):



	March 31, 2019
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets:

There were no transfers between levels for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Assets and Liabilities Disclosed at Fair Value

Because our loans held for investment and fixed-rate debt are not measured at fair value, we are required to disclose their fair value in accordance with ASC 825. Due to the lack of transparency and comparable loans, we utilize an income valuation technique to estimate fair value. We utilize industry-standard modeling, such as discounted cash flow models, to arrive at an estimate of fair value and may utilize third-party service providers to assist in the valuation process. This determination requires significant judgments to be made. The following tables summarize the carrying value and fair value of our loans held for investment and fixed-rate debt (in thousands):
