| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The unaudited consolidated financial statements include both the Company’s accounts and the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities ("VIEs"), of which the Company is the primary beneficiary, as of June 30, 2025. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation. The operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. The Company has evaluated the impact of subsequent events through the date the unaudited consolidated financial statements were issued. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates: The preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation: Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 810—Consolidation, or ASC Topic 810, provides guidance on the identification of a VIE (an entity for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights) and the determination of which business enterprise, if any, should consolidate the VIE. An entity is considered a VIE if any of the following applies: (1) the equity investors (if any) lack one or more of the essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest; (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support; or (3) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportionate to their economic interests and the activities of the entity involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with a disproportionately small voting interest. The Company consolidates VIEs in which it is considered to be the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is defined as the entity having both of the following characteristics: (1) the power to direct the activities that, when taken together, most significantly impact the VIE’s performance; and (2) the obligation to absorb losses and right to receive the returns from the VIE that would be significant to the VIE. The Company determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of an entity subject to consolidation based on a qualitative assessment of the VIE’s capital structure, contractual terms, nature of the VIE’s operations and purpose and the Company’s relative exposure to the related risks of the VIE on the date it becomes initially involved in the VIE. The Company reassesses its VIE determination with respect to an entity on an ongoing basis. For the Company's consolidated securitization VIEs, the third party ownership interests are reflected as liabilities in the Company's consolidated balance sheets because the beneficial interests payable to these third parties are legally issued in the form of debt. The Company's presentation of net income attributes earnings to controlling and non-controlling interests.

| Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash | Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash: The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company's uninvested cash is maintained with high credit quality financial institutions, which are members of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company's cash is held with major financial institutions and generally exceed federally insured limits. Restricted cash primarily represents cash held in accounts to fund additional collateral interests within the Company's collateralized loan obligations as well as cash held at the property level of the Company's investments in real estate.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Loans Receivable | Loans Receivable: Loans that the Company has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future are classified as held for investment. Loans originated by the Company are carried at amortized cost, net of credit loss allowances as discussed below. Purchased loans are recorded at amortized cost, or unpaid principal balance plus purchase premium or less unamortized discount. Costs to purchase loans are expensed as incurred. Loans that the Company originates or purchases that the Company is unable to hold, or intends to sell or otherwise dispose of, in the foreseeable future are classified as held-for-sale and are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mortgage-backed Securities | Mortgage-Backed Securities: Mortgage-backed securities are classified as held-to-maturity or available-for-sale or accounted for under the fair value option. The Company determines the appropriate classification of its securities at the time they are acquired and evaluates the appropriateness of such classifications at each balance sheet's date. Mortgage-backed securities are classified as held-to-maturity when the Company intends to, and has the ability to hold until maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s remaining mortgage-backed securities are classified as either available-for-sale or accounted for under the fair value option and are reported at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets as components of Mortgage-backed securities, at fair value. The Company elected the fair value option for all mortgage-backed securities acquired during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. Changes in fair value for mortgage-backed securities accounted for under the fair value option are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as a component of Net change in unrealized gain (loss) on mortgage-backed securities, fair value option. The Company chose to elect the fair value option in order to simplify the accounting treatment for its investment securities. The fair value option provides an option to elect fair value as an alternative measurement for selected financial instruments. The fair value option may be elected only upon the occurrence of certain specified events, including when the Company enters into an eligible firm commitment, at initial recognition of the financial instrument, as well as upon a business combination or consolidation of a subsidiary. The election is irrevocable unless a new election event occurs. Prior to the quarter ended June 30, 2023, all mortgage-backed securities acquired that were not classified as held-to-maturity were classified as available-for-sale, stated at fair value and the changes in fair value are recorded in other comprehensive income. The Company’s held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities were subject to CECL (defined below), as discussed below. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") Reserve | Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") Reserve: The CECL model applies to the Company's loans receivable, held-for-investment and its mortgage-backed securities held-to-maturity which are carried at amortized cost, including future funding commitments and accrued interest receivable related to those loans and securities. The Company has elected not to measure an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivable (which is classified separately on its consolidated balance sheets), but rather write off in a timely manner by reversing interest income and/or cease accruing interest that would likely be uncollectible. CECL requires an entity to consider historical loss experience, current conditions, and a reasonable and supportable forecast of the macroeconomic environment. Considering the lack of historical company data related to any realized loan losses since its inception, the Company elected to estimate its general CECL reserve by using a probability-weighted analytical model that considers the likelihood of default and loss-given-default for each individual loan. The credit loss model utilizes historical loss rates derived from a third party commercial real estate loan database with historical loan loss data beginning in 1998. The Company provides specific loan-level inputs which include loan-to-value ("LTV"), principal balances, property type, location, coupon, origination year, term, subordination, expected repayment dates and property net operating income. The Company also considers qualitative and environmental factors, including, but not limited to, reasonable and supportable macroeconomic forecasts, business conditions and trends, concentration of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations. The reasonable and supportable forecast period is followed by an immediate reversion period back to historical loss rates. The Company's loans typically include commitments to fund incremental proceeds to its borrowers over the life of the loan, which future funding commitments are also subject to the CECL model. The CECL reserve related to future loan fundings is recorded as a component of Other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. This CECL reserve is estimated using the same process outlined above for outstanding loan balances, and changes in this component of the CECL reserve will similarly impact the Company's consolidated net income. For both the funded and unfunded portions of its loans, the Company considers its internal risk rating of each loan as the primary credit quality indicator underlying the assessment. FS Real Estate Advisor and Rialto perform a quarterly review of the Company's portfolio of loans. In connection with this review, FS Real Estate Advisor and Rialto assess the risk factors of each loan and assign a risk rating based on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, LTV ratio, debt yield, property type, geographic and local market dynamics, physical condition, cash flow volatility, leasing and tenant profile, loan structure and exit plan and project sponsorship. Based on a 5-point scale, the Company's loans are rated "1" through "5," from less risk to greater risk, which ratings are defined as follows:
Impairment is indicated when it is deemed probable that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due to it pursuant to the contractual terms of the loan. If a loan is determined to be impaired, the Company assigns the loan a risk rating of 5 and records the impairment as a specific CECL reserve. For determining a specific CECL reserve, financial instruments are assessed outside of the CECL model on an individual basis. For collateral dependent loans that the Company determines foreclosure of the collateral is probable, the Company assigns the loan a risk rating of 5 and measures the expected losses based on the differences between the fair value of the collateral (less costs to sell the asset if repayment is expected through the sale of the collateral) and the amortized cost basis of the loan as of the measurement date. For these loans, the allowance for expected credit losses may be zero if the fair value of the collateral on the measurement date exceeds the amortized cost basis of the loan. For collateral dependent loans where the Company determines foreclosure is not probable, a practical expedient to estimate expected losses may be applied using the difference between the collateral’s fair value (less costs to sell the asset if repayment is expected through the sale of the collateral) and the amortized cost basis of the loan. These valuations require significant judgments, which include assumptions regarding capitalization rates, leasing, creditworthiness of major tenants, occupancy rates, availability of financing, exit plan, loan sponsorship, actions of other lenders, and other factors deemed necessary by FS Real Estate Advisor and Rialto. Actual losses, if any, could ultimately differ from these estimates. Separate provisions of the CECL model apply to the Mortgage-backed securities available-for-sale, which are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The Company is required to establish an initial credit loss allowance for those available-for-sale securities that are purchased with credit deterioration (“PCD”) by grossing up the amortized cost basis of each security and providing an offsetting credit loss allowance for the difference between expected cash flows and contractual cash flows, both on a present value basis. The Company uses a discounted cash flow method to estimate and recognize a credit loss allowance on its available-for-sale securities. The credit loss allowance represents the difference between the security's amortized cost basis and the present value of expected cash flows. The credit loss allowance is limited to the difference between the security's fair value and its amortized cost. Changes in the credit loss allowance are recognized immediately in earnings as a component of Credit loss expense, net.

| Real Estate, Held-for-Investment | Real Estate, Held-for-Investment: The Company receives foreclosed properties in settlement of loans held for investment by taking legal title or physical possession of the properties. Foreclosed properties are generally recognized at the time the real estate is received at foreclosure sale or upon execution of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. Foreclosed properties are initially measured at fair value. If the fair value of the property is less than the carrying value of the loan, the difference is recognized within Credit loss expense, net on the Company's consolidated statements of operations and the cumulative reserve on the loan is charged off. A gain may be recognized if the fair value of the property exceeds the carrying value of the loan. Upon the acquisition of a property, the Company assesses the fair value of acquired tangible and intangible assets (including land, buildings, tenant improvements, above-market and below-market leases, acquired in-place leases, other identified intangible assets and assumed liabilities) and allocates the purchase price to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The Company assesses and considers fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize discount and/or capitalization rates that it deems appropriate, as well as other available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on several factors including the historical operating results, known and anticipated trends and market and economic conditions. The Company capitalizes acquisition-related costs associated with asset acquisitions. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant. The Company records acquired in-place lease values based on the Company’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. The Company will record acquired above-market and below-market leases at their fair values which represents the present value of the difference between contractual rents of acquired leases and market rents at the time of the acquisition for the remaining lease term, discounted for tenant credit risks. The Company also considers an allocation of purchase price of other acquired intangibles, including acquired in-place leases that may have a customer relationship intangible value, including (but not limited to) the nature and extent of the existing relationship with the tenants, the tenants’ credit quality and expectations of lease renewals. Based on its acquisitions to date, the Company’s allocation to customer relationship intangible assets has not been material. Intangible assets and intangible liabilities are recorded as a component of investment in real estate, held-for-investment on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The amortization of acquired above-market, below-market, and in-place leases is recorded as a component of depreciation and amortization, on the Company’s unaudited consolidated statements of operations. The cost of buildings and improvements includes the purchase price of the Company’s properties and any acquisition-related costs, along with any subsequent improvements to such properties. Real estate, held-for-investment properties are generally depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
The Company’s management reviews its real estate, held-for-investment properties for impairment each quarter or when there is an event or change in circumstances that indicates an impaired value. Since the impairment model considers real estate properties to be “long-lived assets to be held and used,” cash flows to determine whether an asset has been impaired are undiscounted. If the Company determines that an impairment has occurred, the affected assets must be reduced to their fair value. During the periods presented, no such impairment occurred. Real Estate, Held-for-Sale: The Company evaluates its real estate assets, to determine whether such assets should be classified as held-for-sale. Real estate assets are classified as held for sale when they meet the criteria under ASC Topic 360, which includes, among other things, that the sale of the asset is probable and the transfer of the asset is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year. Once a real estate asset is classified as held for sale, depreciation and amortization are suspended and the asset is carried at the lower of the asset’s carrying amount or its fair value less costs to sell.

| Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments: ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or ASC Topic 820, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements under GAAP. Specifically, this guidance defines fair value based on exit price, or the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring financial instruments. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of financial instrument, the characteristics specific to the financial instrument, and the state of the marketplace, including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants. Financial instruments with readily available quoted prices in active markets generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value. Financial instruments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed based on the observability of inputs used in the determination, as follows: Level 1: Generally includes only unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical financial instruments as of the reporting date. Level 2: Pricing inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, quoted prices in less active or inactive markets for identical or similar instruments where multiple price quotes can be obtained, and other observable inputs, such as interest rates, yield curves, credit risks, and default rates. Level 3: Pricing inputs are unobservable for the financial instruments and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the financial instrument. These inputs require significant judgment or estimation by management or third parties when determining fair value and generally represent anything that does not meet the criteria of Levels 1 and 2. The estimated value of each asset reported at fair value using Level 3 inputs is determined by an internal committee comprised of members of senior management of FS Real Estate Advisor. Certain of the Company's assets are reported at fair value either (i) on a recurring basis, as of each quarter-end, or (ii) on a nonrecurring basis, as a result of impairment or other events. The Company generally values its assets recorded at fair value by either (i) discounting expected cash flows based on assumptions regarding the collection of principal and interest and estimated market rates, or (ii) obtaining assessments from third-party dealers. For collateral-dependent loans that are identified as impaired, the Company measures impairment by comparing FS Real Estate Advisor's estimation of fair value of the underlying collateral (less costs to sell the asset if repayment is expected through the sale of the collateral) to the book value of the respective loan. These valuations may require significant judgments, which include assumptions regarding capitalization rates, leasing, creditworthiness of major tenants, occupancy rates, availability of financing, exit plan, loan sponsorship, actions of other lenders, and other factors deemed necessary by FS Real Estate Advisor and Rialto. The Company is also required by GAAP to disclose fair value information about financial instruments that are not otherwise reported at fair value in the Company's consolidated balance sheets, to the extent it is practicable to estimate a fair value for those instruments. These disclosure requirements exclude certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments. The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments, for which it is practicable to estimate that value: •Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount of cash on deposit and in money market funds approximates fair value. •Restricted cash: The carrying amount of restricted cash approximates fair value. •Loans receivable held-for-investment, net: The fair values for these loans were estimated by FS Real Estate Advisor based on a discounted cash flow methodology taking into consideration factors, including capitalization rates, discount rates, leasing, occupancy rates, availability and cost of financing, exit plan, sponsorship, actions of other lenders, and indications of market value from other market participants. •Mortgage-backed securities, at fair value: The fair values for these investments were based upon prices obtained from third-party pricing providers. The third-party pricing providers develop their pricing based on transaction prices of recent trades for similar financial instruments. •Mortgage-backed securities held-to-maturity: The fair values for these investments were estimated by FS Real Estate Advisor based on a discounted cash flow methodology pursuant to which a discount rate or market yield is used to discount the estimated future cash flows expected to be received from the underlying investment, which include both future principal and interest payments. Significant increases or decreases in the discount rate or market yield would result in a decrease or increase in the fair value measurement. •Collateralized loan obligations, repurchase agreements payable, credit facilities payable, and mortgage note payable: The fair values for these instruments were estimated based on the rate at which similar credit facilities would have currently been priced. Assets of the Consolidated Mortgage Loans and Liabilities of the Consolidated Mortgage Obligations: The Company separately presents the assets and liabilities of its consolidated securitization loans as individual line items on its consolidated balance sheets. The liabilities of its consolidated securitization loans consist solely of obligations to the bondholders of the related trusts, and are thus presented as a single line item entitled “Mortgage obligations issued by securitization trusts.” The assets of its consolidated securitization loans consist principally of loans. These assets in the aggregate are likewise presented as a single line item entitled “Mortgage loans held in securitization trusts.” The residual difference shown on its unaudited consolidated statements of operations in the line item “Unrealized gain (loss) on mortgage loans and obligations held in securitization trusts” represents the Company's beneficial interest in the mortgage loans. The Company elected the fair value option for initial and subsequent recognition of the assets and liabilities of its consolidated securitization mortgage loans held in securitization trusts and the related commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") investments. Interest income and interest expense associated with these loans are presented separately on the Company's consolidated statements of operations. The securitization mortgage loan assets as a whole can only be used to settle the obligations of the consolidated mortgage loans. The assets of the Company's securitization mortgage loans are not individually accessible by the bondholders, which creates inherent limitations from a valuation perspective.The securitization mortgage loans in which the Company invests are “static”; that is, no reinvestment is permitted, and there is no active management of the underlying assets. In determining the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the securitization mortgage loans, the Company maximizes the use of observable inputs over unobservable inputs. The Company's consolidated mortgage obligations generally represent bonds that are not owned by the Company directly. The majority of these are either traded in the marketplace or can be analogized to similar securities that are traded in the marketplace. For these liabilities, pricing is considered to be Level 2, where the valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments traded in active markets. The Company generally utilizes third party pricing service providers for valuing these liabilities. In order to determine whether to utilize the valuations provided by third parties, the Company conducts an ongoing evaluation of their valuation methodologies and processes, as well as a review of the individual valuations themselves. In evaluating third party pricing for reasonableness, the Company considers a variety of factors, including market transaction information for the particular bond, market transaction information for bonds within the same trust, market transaction information for similar bonds, the bond’s ratings and the bond’s subordination levels. For the minority portion of the Company's consolidated mortgage obligations which consist of unrated or non-investment grade bonds that are not owned by the Company directly, pricing may be either Level 2 or Level 3. If independent third party pricing similar to that noted above is available, the Company considers the valuation to be Level 2. If such third party pricing is not available, the valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant unobservable assumptions, and the Company considers the valuation to be Level 3. For mortgage obligations classified as Level 3, valuation is determined based on discounted expected future cash flows which take into consideration expected duration and yields based on market transaction information, ratings, subordination levels, vintage and current market spread. Mortgage obligations may shift between Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy if the significant fair value inputs used to price the mortgage obligations become or cease to be observable. The individual assets of a mortgage loan are inherently incapable of precise measurement given their illiquid nature and the limitations on available information related to these assets. Because the Company's methodology for valuing these assets does not value the individual assets of a mortgage loan, but rather uses the value of the mortgage obligations as an indicator of the fair value of mortgage loan assets as a whole, the Company has determined that its valuations of mortgage loan assets in their entirety should be classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

| Deferred Financing Costs | Deferred Financing Costs: Deferred financing costs include issuance and other costs related to the Company’s debt obligations. The deferred financing costs related to the Company’s collateralized loan obligations, repurchase agreements, and mortgage note payable are recorded as a reduction in the net book value of the related liability on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Deferred financing costs related to the Company’s revolving credit facilities and facilities that are undrawn as of the reporting date are recorded as an asset on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. These costs are amortized as interest expense using the straight-line method over the term of the related obligation, which approximates the effective interest method.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition: Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. The Company records interest income from its loans receivable portfolio on an accrual basis to the extent that the Company expects to collect such amounts. The Company does not accrue as a receivable interest or dividends on loans and securities if there is reason to doubt the collectability of such income. Discounts or premiums associated with the investment securities are amortized or accreted into interest income as a yield adjustment on the effective interest method, based on expected cash flows through the expected maturity date of the investment. On at least a quarterly basis, the Company reviews and, if appropriate, makes adjustments to its cash flow projections. The Company records dividend income on the ex-dividend date. Any loan origination fees to which the Company is entitled, loan exit fees, original issue discount and market discount are capitalized and such amounts are amortized as interest income over the respective term of the investment. Upon the prepayment of a loan or security, any unamortized loan origination fees to which the Company is entitled are recorded as fee income. The Company records prepayment premiums on loans and securities as fee income when it receives such amounts. Loans are considered past due when payments are not made in accordance with the contractual terms. The Company does not accrue as receivable interest on loans if it is not probable that such income will be collected. Unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection, loans are placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest is 120 days or more past due or when repayment of interest and principal is, in our judgement, in doubt. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans are generally recognized as interest income on a cash basis. If a full recovery of principal is doubtful, the cost recovery method is applied whereby any cash received is applied to the outstanding principal balance of the loan. Recognition of interest income on non-performing loans on an accrual basis is resumed when it is probable that the Company will be able to collect amounts due according to the contractual terms. Refer to Note 3 and Note 4 of this document for our disclosure of any investments placed on non-accrual.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Offering Costs | Offering Costs: Offering costs primarily include, among other things, marketing expenses and printing, legal and due diligence fees and other costs pertaining to the Company’s continuous public offering of shares of its common stock, including the preparation of the registration statement and salaries and direct expenses of FS Real Estate Advisor’s personnel, employees of its respective affiliates and others while engaged in such activities. The Company may reimburse FS Real Estate Advisor and Rialto for any offering expenses that they incurred on the Company's behalf, up to a cap of 0.75% of gross proceeds raised after such time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Income Taxes | Income Taxes: The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2017. In order to maintain its status as a REIT, the Company must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income to its stockholders. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax on income that it distributes to stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants the Company relief under certain statutory provisions.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Uncertainty in Income Taxes | Uncertainty in Income Taxes: The Company evaluates each of its tax positions to determine if they meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax benefits or liabilities in the unaudited consolidated financial statements. Recognition of a tax benefit or liability with respect to an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax liabilities as income tax expense in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Stockholder Servicing Fees | Stockholder Servicing Fees: The Company follows the guidance in ASC Topic 405, Liabilities, when accounting for stockholder servicing fees. The Company will pay stockholder servicing fees over time on its shares of Class T, Class S, Class D and Class M common stock as described in Note 7. The Company records stockholder servicing fees as a reduction to additional paid-in capital and records the related liability in an amount equal to its best estimate of the fees payable in relation to the shares of Class T, Class S, Class D and Class M common stock on the date such shares are issued. The liability will be reduced over time, as the fees are paid to the dealer manager, or adjusted if the fees are no longer payable.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Earnings Per Share | Earnings Per Share: The restricted stock units grant Class I shares issued to FS Real Estate Advisor and Rialto for payment of the administrative services fee are considered to be participating securities. The impact of these restricted stock units on basic and diluted earnings per common share ("EPS") has been calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are allocated to the restricted stock units based on dividends declared and the restricted stock units' participation rights in undistributed earnings. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Derivative Instruments | Derivative Instruments: The Company uses interest rate caps to manage risks from fluctuations in interest rates. The Company has not designated any of these contracts as fair value or cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. The Company records its derivatives on its consolidated balance sheets at fair value and such amounts are included in Other assets. Any changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recorded in earnings. The valuation of the Company's interest rate caps are determined based on assumptions that management believes market participants would use in pricing, using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivative, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with those derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. However, as of June 30, 2025, the Company assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of the Company’s derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

| Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, or ASU 2024-03, which requires disaggregated disclosure of certain costs and expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and depletion, within relevant income statement captions. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning with the first quarter ended March 31, 2028. Early adoption and retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance, however, the Company does not expect a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
