The fair value of the REO at time of foreclosure was determined using the income approach, market approach, or a combination thereof. The significant unobservable input for the income capitalization approach is the overall capitalization rate assumption, used in the direct capitalization method, which was 6.25%-7.40%. The significant unobservable input used for the market approach is the price per unit from an appraisal or broker opinion of value.

On December 22, 2025, the Company sold one of the properties located in San Antonio, TX held by a subsidiary of the Company to a third party for $8.2 million and recognized a $0.5 million realized loss on the sale of the property.
