Stockholders’ Equity   Common Stock   On October 12, 2010, the Company issued 22,223 shares of common stock to the Sponsor for $0.2 million. On February 11, 2013, the Sponsor purchased an additional 222,223 shares of common stock for $2.0 million under the Distribution Support Agreement to satisfy the minimum offering requirement. From inception through June 30, 2013, the Company issued 286,540 shares of common stock generating gross proceeds from the Primary Offering of $2.6 million.   Distribution Reinvestment Plan   The Company adopted a DRP through which common stockholders may elect to reinvest an amount equal to the distributions declared on their shares in additional shares of the Company’s common stock in lieu of receiving cash distributions. The initial purchase price per share pursuant to the DRP is $9.50. Once the Company establishes an estimated value per share, shares issued pursuant to the DRP will be priced at 95.0% of the estimated value per share of the Company’s common stock, as determined by the Advisor or another firm chosen for that purpose. The Company expects to establish an estimated value per share within 18 months after the completion of its offering stage. The offering stage will be considered complete when the Company is no longer publicly offering equity securities, whether through the Offering or follow-on public offering. No selling commissions or dealer manager fees are paid on shares issued pursuant to the DRP. The board of directors of the Company may amend or terminate the DRP for any reason upon ten-days’ notice to participants. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company issued five shares representing an immaterial amount of gross offering proceeds pursuant to the DRP.   Distributions   Distributions to stockholders are declared quarterly by the board of directors of the Company and are paid monthly based on a daily amount of $0.00184932 per share. The Company declared distributions for April, May and June 2013 of $12,715, $16,624 and $17,359, respectively. Distributions are generally paid to stockholders on the first day of the month following the month for which the distribution has accrued. As of June 30, 2013, the Company recorded a distribution payable of $43,764, of which $36,873 was payable to our Sponsor.   Share Repurchase Program   The Company adopted a share repurchase program that may enable stockholders to sell their shares to the Company in limited circumstances (the “Share Repurchase Program”). The Company may not repurchase shares unless a stockholder has held shares for one year. However, the Company may repurchase shares held less than one year in connection with a stockholder’s death or qualifying disability, if the disability is deemed qualifying by the board of directors of the Company in its sole discretion, and after receiving written notice from the stockholder or the stockholder’s estate. The Company is not obligated to repurchase shares under the Share Repurchase Program. The Company may amend or terminate the Share Repurchase Program at its discretion at any time, subject to certain notice requirements.falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaThe entire disclosure for shareholders' equity comprised of portions attributable to the parent entity and noncontrolling interest, including other comprehensive income.
