Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair Value Disclosures Fair Value Disclosures
The Company has certain financial instruments that are required to be measured under the FASB’s Fair Value Measurement guidance. The Company currently does not have any non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the FASB’s Fair Value Measurement guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy). Level 1 inputs use quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses interest rate swaps, foreign currency forwards and cross currency swaps to manage its interest rate and foreign currency risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates, and implied volatilities. The fair value of interest rate swaps is determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts and the discounted expected variable cash payments. The variable cash payments are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees. In conjunction with the FASB's fair value measurement guidance, the Company made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio.

Although the Company determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives also use Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. As of September 30, 2021, the Company assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the
overall valuation of its derivative positions and determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives and therefore, classified its derivatives as Level 2 within the fair value reporting hierarchy.

The table below presents the Company’s financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements are classified and by derivative type.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded impairment charges related to real estate investments, net on two of its properties. Management estimated the fair values of these investments taking into account various factors including purchase offers, shortened hold periods and market conditions. The Company determined, based on the inputs, that the valuation of these properties with purchase offers were classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and were measured at fair value.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded impairment charges related to real estate investments, net and operating lease right-of-use assets. Management estimated the fair value of these investments taking into account various factors including purchase offers, independent appraisals, shortened hold periods and market conditions. The Company determined, based on the inputs, that its valuation of six of its properties with purchase offers were classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and were measured at fair value. Three
properties, two of which included operating lease right-of-use assets, were measured at fair value using independent appraisals which used discounted cash flow models. These measurements were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as many of the assumptions were not observable.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded impairment charges related to its investment in joint ventures. Management estimated the fair value of these investments, taking into account various factors including implied asset value changes based on discounted cash flow projections and current market conditions. The Company determined, based on the inputs, that its valuation of investment in joint ventures was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as many of the assumptions are not observable.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded expected credit loss expense related to notes receivable from one borrower to fully reserve the outstanding principal balance and unfunded commitment, as a result of changes in the borrower's financial status due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Management valued the loan based on the fair value of the underlying collateral which was based on review of the financial statements of the borrower, and was classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

Mortgage notes receivable and related accrued interest receivable:
The fair value of the Company’s mortgage notes and related accrued interest receivable is estimated by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument using current market rates. At September 30, 2021, the Company had a carrying value of $369.1 million in fixed rate mortgage notes receivable outstanding, including related accrued interest and allowance for credit losses, with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 9.02%. The fixed rate mortgage notes bear interest at rates of 7.01% to 11.96%. Discounting the future cash flows for fixed rate mortgage notes receivable using rates of 7.25% to 9.00%, management estimates the fair value of the fixed rate mortgage notes receivable to be approximately $406.0 million with an estimated weighted average market rate of 7.80% at September 30, 2021.

At December 31, 2020, the Company had a carrying value of $365.6 million in fixed rate mortgage notes receivable outstanding, including related accrued interest, with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 9.03%. The fixed rate mortgage notes bear interest at rates of 7.01% to 11.78%. Discounting the future cash flows for fixed rate mortgage notes receivable using rates of 7.50% to 10.00%, management estimates the fair value of the fixed rate mortgage notes receivable to be $394.0 million with an estimated weighted average market rate of 8.11% at December 31, 2020.

Derivative instruments:
Derivative instruments are carried at their fair value.

Debt instruments:
The fair value of the Company's debt is estimated by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument using current market rates. At September 30, 2021, the Company had a carrying value of $25.0 million in variable rate debt outstanding with an average interest rate of approximately 0.13%. The carrying value of the variable rate debt outstanding approximated the fair value at September 30, 2021.

At December 31, 2020, the Company had a carrying value of $1.0 billion in variable rate debt outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 2.23%. The carrying value of the variable rate debt outstanding approximated the fair value at December 31, 2020.

At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, $25.0 million and $425.0 million, respectively, of the Company's variable rate debt, discussed above, had been effectively converted to a fixed rate by interest rate swap agreements. See Note 10 for additional information related to the Company's interest rate swap agreements.
At September 30, 2021, the Company had a carrying value of $2.69 billion in fixed rate long-term debt outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 4.54%. Discounting the future cash flows for fixed rate debt using September 30, 2021 market rates of 1.91% to 4.56%, management estimates the fair value of the fixed rate debt to be approximately $2.86 billion with an estimated weighted average market rate of 3.04% at September 30, 2021.

At December 31, 2020, the Company had a carrying value of $2.72 billion in fixed rate long-term debt outstanding with an average weighted interest rate of approximately 4.70%. Discounting the future cash flows for fixed rate debt using December 31, 2020 market rates of 4.09% to 5.81%, management estimates the fair value of the fixed rate debt to be approximately $2.69 billion with an estimated weighted average market rate of 4.70% at December 31, 2020.
