As of March 31, 2021, the average risk rating of the commercial mortgage loan portfolio was 2.7 (Moderate Risk), weighted by investment carrying value, with 91.6% of commercial loans held-for-investment rated 3 (Moderate Risk) or better by the Company's Manager.

As of December 31, 2020, the average risk rating of the commercial mortgage loan portfolio was 3.1 (Moderate Risk), weighted by investment carrying value, with 84.4% of commercial loans held-for-invested rated 3 (Moderate Risk) or better by the Company's Manager.

The decrease in average risk rating is primarily the result of commercial mortgage loans that paid off with a risk rating of "4" of $16.7 million, the purchase of $34.9 million of commercial mortgage loans with a risk rating of "2" and the migration of $31.1 million of commercial mortgage loans from a risk rating of "4" to a risk rating of "3" during the first quarter of 2021.
Concentration of Credit Risk: The following tables present the geographic and property types of collateral underlying the Company's commercial mortgage loans as a percentage of the loans' carrying value as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:
