Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization. NetREIT (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of California in January 1999 for the purpose of investing in real estate properties. Effective August 2010, NetREIT merged into NetREIT, Inc., a Maryland Corporation, with NetREIT, Inc. becoming the surviving Corporation. As a result of the merger, NetREIT is now incorporated in the State of Maryland. The Company qualifies and operates as a self-administered real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and commenced operations with capital provided by its private placement offering of its equity securities in 1999.

The following partnership activity occurred during the periods covered by these consolidated financial statements:

The Company is the sole General Partner in three consolidated limited partnerships (NetREIT Palm Self-Storage LP, NetREIT Casa Grande LP and NetREIT Garden Gateway LP), all with ownership in real estate income producing properties. The Company refers to these entities collectively, as the “NetREIT Partnerships”.

The Company is a limited partner in two partnerships and one limited liability corporation that purchase and leaseback Model Homes from developers (“Dubose Model Home Investors #201, LP”, “Dubose Model Homes Investors #202, LP”, and “NetREIT Dubose Model Home REIT, Inc”). The Company refers to these entities collectively, as the “Model Home Entities”.

The Company had previously been a limited partner in a number of Model Home partnerships, the last of which (Dubose Acquisition Partners II, Dubose Model Home Income Fund #3, LTD., Dubose Model Home Income Fund #4, LTD., and Dubose Model Home Investors Fund #113, LP) sold all of their Model Home assets and were dissolved before the end of 2014. These entities were referred to as the “Income Funds”.

The Company has determined that the entities described above, where it owns less than 100%, should be included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company directs their activities and holds a non-controlling interest in these limited partnerships through NetREIT, the Parent Company.

Unit-based information used herein (such as references to square footage or property occupancy rates) is unaudited.

Segments. The Company acquires and operates income producing properties including office/industrial properties, residential properties and retail properties and invests in real estate assets, including real estate loans and, as a result, the Company operates in three business segments. See Note 14 “Segments”.

Customer Concentration. Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited due to the large number of tenants comprising the Company’s rental revenue. No single tenant accounted for 10% or more of total rental income for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.
