Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Contingencies and Commitments	Commitments and Contingencies The Company provides current directors and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Company. In the normal course of business the Company may also enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations, warranties, and general indemnifications. The Company's maximum exposure under these arrangements, including future claims that may be made against the Company that have not yet occurred, is unknown. The Company has not incurred any costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. The Company has no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The Company has entered into a flow consumer loan purchase and sale agreement, open-ended in duration, with a third party whereby the Company has committed to purchase up to $100 million of eligible consumer loans. As of September 30, 2016, the Company has purchased $95.2 million in eligible consumer loans under this agreement. In January 2016, the Company entered into a purchase agreement, open-ended in duration, with a third party whereby it has committed to purchase $375 million of principal balance of eligible consumer loans. As of September 30, 2016, the Company has purchased $9.8 million of principal balance in eligible consumer loans under the agreement. In August 2015 the Company entered into participation and guarantee agreements whereby: (i) the Company purchased a $10 million participation interest in a borrowing facility structured as a repurchase agreement, or "Repo Facility," between two parties unrelated to the Company, and (ii) the Company guarantees the borrower's payment obligations under the Repo Facility. The borrower may borrow up to $200 million under the Repo Facility, which is collateralized by residential mortgage loans which are required to be (1) eligible for guarantee by the Federal National Mortgage Association or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, or (2) eligible for insurance by the Federal Housing Administration, or the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. To the extent the borrower performs under the Repo Facility over the term of the participation and guarantee agreements, the Company will be reimbursed in full its $10 million participation interest. Should the borrower default under the Repo Facility, the Company would be required to post to the lender an additional 5% of the then-outstanding amount borrowed under the Repo Facility and should the lender then exercise its rights under the guarantee, the Company could be required to purchase the mortgage loan collateral at a price equal to the aggregate amount borrowed under the Repo Facility, inclusive of accrued interest and any outstanding unused facility fees. In this case, the Company would have full recourse to the borrower to the extent of any deficit between the value of the mortgage loan collateral and the price paid by the Company for such collateral. The Company has the option, but not the obligation, to finance a specified portion of such purchase with the lender for up to six months via a pre-negotiated, committed repurchase facility. As a result of these agreements, the Company's risk is a function of the ongoing creditworthiness of the borrower and market value of the mortgage loan collateral in relation to the amount owed by the borrower under the Repo Facility. For its participation in this arrangement, the Company is paid monthly and quarterly fees based on the amount utilized under the Repo Facility. Fees received are included in "Other Income" on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations. The participation interest in the amount of $10 million is included in "Due from broker" on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Equity. The Company's obligation under this arrangement is deemed to be a guaranty under ASC 460-10, Guarantees, and is carried at fair value and included in "Other Liabilities," on the Consolidated Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Equity. As of September 30, 2016 the borrower utilized approximately $164.3 million under the Repo Facility and is performing on its obligations under such facility. The original agreement expired in August 2016. Following the expiration, the parties to the arrangement have agreed to several extensions with the most recent extension expiring on November 30, 2016. Commitments and Contingencies Related to Investments in Mortgage Originators As of September 30, 2016, the Company had non-controlling investments in multiple mortgage originators. In connection with certain of its investments in such mortgage originators, the Company has outstanding commitments and contingencies as described below. In connection with its equity interest in a mortgage originator, as described in Note 7, Related Party Transactions, the Company has entered into agreements whereby it guarantees the performance of the mortgage originator under a warehouse facility and a master repurchase agreement. As of September 30, 2016, the Company's maximum aggregate guarantees were $120.0 million. The Company's obligations under these arrangements are deemed to be guarantees under ASC 460-10, Guarantees, and are carried at fair value and included in "Other Liabilities," on the Consolidated Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Equity.
