3 Months Ended

Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information as contained in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”), and in conjunction with rules and regulations of the SEC, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP for audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair and consistent presentation of the financial position and the results for the interim period presented. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2017. The accompanying unaudited interim financial information should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 as filed with the SEC.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership, and directly wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Other Comprehensive Income

For all periods presented, other comprehensive loss is the same as net loss.

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Standards Issued and Adopted

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”) which clarified the definition of a business. The update added further guidance that assists preparers in evaluating whether a transaction will be an acquisition of an asset or a business. The Company expects that most of its acquisitions will qualify as an asset acquisition and therefore acquisition costs are capitalized as part of the cost of the acquired properties. The Company adopted the standard as of October 1, 2016. For periods prior to the adoption of ASU 2017-01, the Company’s financial statements will not be comparable because acquisitions of property qualified as a business and therefore acquisition costs were expensed.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”), which clarifies how entities should classify certain cash receipts and cash payments on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 addresses certain issues where diversity in practice was identified. It amends existing guidance, which is principles based and often requires judgment to determine the appropriate classification of cash flows as operating, investing or financing activities. In addition, ASU 2016-15 clarifies how the predominance principle should be applied when cash receipts and cash payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective during the first quarter of 2018, and will generally require a retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. On January 1, 2017, we early adopted this standard in its entirety on a retrospective basis and determined that the only clarification to significantly impact the Company was the classification of distributions received from our equity method investment in Rich Uncles REIT I. The update allows for the election to classify distributions received from equity method investments based on either a cumulative earnings approach or a nature of distribution approach. We have elected the nature of the distribution approach, in which cash flows generated from the operations of an unconsolidated entity are classified as a return on investment (cash inflow from operating activities) and cash flows that were generated from property sales, debt refinancing or sales of our investments are classified as a return of investment (cash inflow from investing activities). We adopted this approach based on the information available to us to determine the nature of the underlying activity that generated the distributions from unconsolidated entities.

New Accounting Standards Recently Issued and Not Yet Adopted

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize the revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue requirements in Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. ASU 2014-09 does not apply to lease contracts within the scope of Leases (Topic 840). ASU 2014-09 was to be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and is to be applied retrospectively, with early application not permitted. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date (“ASU 2015-14”), which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. Early adoption is permitted but not before the original effective date. As the primary source of revenue for the Company is generated through leasing arrangements, which are scoped out of this standard, the Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-09 to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). The amendments in ASU 2016-02 change the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of ASU 2016-02 is permitted. The new standard for lease accounting requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new leases standard on its consolidated financial statements.
