The net impact to our income statement associated with our economic investment in the Freddie Mac SLST securitization entities is presented in Note 5.Business Purpose Residential Loans
We originate business purpose residential loans, including single-family rental loans and residential bridge loans. This origination activity commenced in connection with our acquisitions of 5 Arches and CoreVest in 2019.
Business Purpose Residential Loan Originations
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we funded $487 million of business purpose residential loans, of which $21 million of residential bridge loans and $26 million of single-family rental loans were sold to third parties. The remaining business purpose residential loans were transferred to our investment portfolio (residential bridge loans and certain single-family rental loans), or retained in our mortgage banking business (single-family rental loans) for future securitizations. Prior to the transfer of residential bridge loans to our investment portfolio, we recorded a net market valuation loss of $0.2 million on these loans through Mortgage banking activities, net on our consolidated statements of income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Market valuation adjustments on our single-family rental loans are also recorded in Mortgage banking activities, net on our consolidated statements of income (loss) prior to their sale or transfer to our investment portfolio.
