Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Commitments and Contingencies Commitments and contingencies may arise in the ordinary course of business. Our material off-balance sheet commitments as of March 31, 2018 are discussed below. As discussed in Note 6 - "Other Assets", we have invested in unconsolidated ventures that are sponsored by an affiliate of our Manager. The unconsolidated ventures are structured as partnerships, and we invest in the partnerships as a limited partner. The entities are structured such that capital commitments are to be drawn down over the life of the partnership as investment opportunities are identified. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, our undrawn capital and purchase commitments were $8.9 million and $10.2 million, respectively. As discussed in Note 5 - "Commercial Loans Held-for-Investment", we purchase and originate commercial loans. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we have unfunded commitments on commercial loans held-for-investment of $4.1 million and $4.8 million, respectively. We have entered into agreements with financial institutions to guarantee certain obligations of our subsidiaries. We would be required to perform under these guarantees in the event of certain defaults. We have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.
