Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Management has evaluated events and circumstances occurring as of and through the date this Annual Report on Form 10-K was filed with the SEC and made available to the public and has determined that there have been no significant events or circumstances that qualify as "recognized" subsequent events as defined by ASC Topic 855. The following events, which occurred subsequent to December 31, 2011 and before the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, qualify as “nonrecognized" subsequent events as defined by ASC Topic 855: On February 1, 2012, the Company closed a public offering of 13,332,487 shares of its common stock which includes 832,487 shares issued pursuant to an option to purchase additional shares that was exercised by the underwriters, at a public offering price of $9.12 per share for total net proceeds of approximately $119,992 after deduction of underwriters' compensation and estimated expenses. We will not be able to ascertain whether a Section 382 "ownership shift" has occurred as a result of this offering until all Schedule 13 filings are made by our shareholders for the first quarter of 2012. The Company has issued 402,494 shares of its common stock through its ATM program since December 31, 2011 at an average price of $9.39 for total net proceeds of $3,721 after deduction of underwriters' compensation and estimated expenses. In February 2012, the Company repaid its remaining TALF non-recourse financing, which had a fixed interest rate of 2.7%, and replaced it with $41,723 of repurchase agreement financing, which currently has a variable interest rate of 1.4%. The Company owns a portion of a seriously delinquent commercial mortgage loan which was restructured in bankruptcy court subsequent to December 31, 2011. Under the terms of the bankruptcy court confirmation order, the interest rate on the loan was decreased from 8.3% to 6.0% while the unpaid principal balance was increased by approximately 17%. The present value of the loan's expected future cash flows under its new terms, discounted using the loan's original interest rate of 8.3% as the effective rate, exceeds the Company's recorded investment in the loan under its original terms, therefore, the loan is not impaired based on the terms specified in the bankruptcy court confirmation order. The Company expects that the modification of the loan's terms will not have a material impact on the Company's financial results for the first quarter of 2012.
