Mortgages Payable

During the first nine months of 2020, we made $73.7 million in principal payments, including the repayment of five mortgages in full for $69.2 million. During the first nine months of 2019, we made $19.5 million in principal payments, including the repayment of one mortgage in full for $15.8 million. No mortgages were assumed during the first nine months of 2020 or 2019. Assumed mortgages are secured by the properties on which the debt was placed and are considered non-recourse debt with limited customary exceptions for items such as solvency, bankruptcy, misrepresentation, fraud, misapplication of payments, environmental liabilities, failure to pay taxes, insurance premiums, liens on the property, violations of the single purpose entity requirements, and uninsured losses.

Our mortgages contain customary covenants, such as limiting our ability to further mortgage each applicable property or to discontinue insurance coverage without the prior consent of the lender. At September 30, 2020, we were in compliance with these covenants.

The balance of our deferred financing costs, which are classified as part of mortgages payable, net, on our consolidated balance sheets, was $1.1 million at September 30, 2020 and $1.3 million at December 31, 2019. These costs are being amortized over the remaining term of each mortgage.

The following table summarizes our mortgages payable as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively (dollars in thousands):
