VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIESThe Company utilizes VIEs in the normal course of business to support the Company’s financing needs. The Company determines whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE at the time it becomes involved with the VIE and reconsiders that conclusion on an on-going basis.
The Company established certain special purpose entities (“SPEs”) for the purpose of financing the Company’s purchase and renovation of real estate inventory through the issuance of asset-backed debt. The Company is the primary beneficiary of the various VIEs within these financing structures and consolidates these VIEs. The Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary based on its power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic outcomes of the SPEs through its role in designing the SPEs and managing the real estate inventory they purchase and sell. The Company has a potentially significant variable interest in the entities based upon the equity interest the Company holds in the VIEs.
The following table summarizes the assets and liabilities related to the VIEs consolidated by the Company as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in millions):
