Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
DISCONTINUATION OF THE BUY-RENOVATE-LEASE-SELL BUSINESS	SALE OF BUSINESSES Rental Property Management Business In August 2018, Altisource entered into an amendment to its agreements with Front Yard Residential Corporation (“RESI”) to sell Altisource’s rental property management business to RESI and permit RESI to internalize certain services that had been provided by Altisource. These services were historically provided under an agreement between RESI and Altisource, in which Altisource was the sole provider of rental property management services to RESI through December 2027, subject to certain exceptions. The proceeds from the transaction totaled $18.0 million, payable in two installments. The first installment of $15.0 million was received on the closing date of August 8, 2018. The second installment of $3.0 million will be received on the earlier of a RESI change of control or on August 8, 2023. The present value of the second installment is included in other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and has a discounted value of $2.3 million and $2.2 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Financial Services Business On March 28, 2019, Altisource entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Financial Services business, consisting of its post-charge-off consumer debt and mortgage charge-off collection services and customer relationship management services (the “Financial Services Business”) to Transworld Systems Inc. (“TSI”) for $44.0 million consisting of an up-front payment of $40.0 million, subject to a working capital adjustment and transaction costs upon closing of the sale, and an additional $4.0 million payment on the one year anniversary of the sale closing. The sale closed on July 1, 2019 and in connection with this sale, we recognized a $17.6 million pretax gain on sale for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and the third quarter of 2019. The parties also entered into a transition services agreement to provide for the management and orderly transition of certain services and technologies to TSI for periods ranging from 2 months to 13 months. These services include support for information technology systems and infrastructure, facilities management, finance, compliance and human resources functions and will be charged to TSI on a fixed fee or hourly basis. On July 17, 2019, Altisource used $37.0 million of the net up-front payment to repay a portion of its senior secured term loan. DISCONTINUATION OF THE BUY-RENOVATE-LEASE-SELL BUSINESS On November 26, 2018, the Company announced its plans to sell its short-term investments in real estate (“BRS Inventory”) and discontinue the Company’s Buy-Renovate-Lease-Sell (“BRS”) business. Altisource’s BRS business focused on buying, renovating, leasing and selling single-family homes to real estate investors. The BRS business was not material in relation to the Company’s results of operations or financial position. In anticipation of receiving the majority of the proceeds from the sale of the BRS Inventory in 2019, the Company repaid $49.9 million of its senior secured term loan in the fourth quarter of 2018. On June 28, 2019, the Company sold the majority of the BRS Inventory to Lafayette Real Estate for $38.9 million and incurred closing costs of $1.8 million. In September 2019, the Company sold the remaining two BRS Inventory homes for $0.4 million.
