Organization and Operations [Abstract]
Organization and Operations	Note 1 — Organization and Operations Cherry Hill Mortgage Investment Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”) was incorporated in Maryland on October 31, 2012 and was organized to invest in residential mortgage assets in the United States. Under the Company’s charter, the Company is authorized to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of common stock and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, each with a par value of $0.01 per share. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s subsidiaries, Cherry Hill Operating Partnership, LP (the “Operating Partnership”), CHMI Sub-REIT, Inc. (the “Sub-REIT”), Cherry Hill QRS I, LLC, Cherry Hill QRS II, LLC, Cherry Hill QRS III, LLC (“QRS III”), Cherry Hill QRS IV, LLC (“QRS IV”), Cherry Hill QRS V, LLC (“QRS V”), CHMI Solutions, Inc. (“CHMI Solutions”) and Aurora Financial Group, Inc. (“Aurora”). Prior to November 14, 2024, the Company was externally managed by Cherry Hill Mortgage Management, LLC (the “Manager”), which was responsible for the Company’s investment strategies and decisions and its day-to-day operations, subject to the supervision and oversight of its board of directors. The Company and CHMM’s relationship was governed by the Amended and Restated Management Agreement, dated as of September 24, 2013 (as amended, the “Management Agreement”). Effective as of November 14, 2024, the Company completed an “Internalization Event” within the meaning of the Management Agreement. Upon consummation of the Internalization Event, the Management Agreement terminated without payment of a termination fee to CHMM in accordance with its terms and the Company ceased being externally managed. As a result of the Internalization Event, the Company now operates as a fully integrated and internally managed company with its own dedicated executive management team to manage its business. The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), as defined under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with its short taxable year ended December 31, 2013. As long as the Company continues to comply with a number of requirements under federal tax law and maintains its qualification as a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes to the extent that the Company distributes its taxable income to its stockholders on an annual basis and does not engage in prohibited transactions. However, certain activities that the Company may perform may cause it to earn income that will not be qualifying income for REIT purposes. The Company conducts substantially all of its operations and owns substantially all of its assets through its Operating Partnership. The Company is the sole general partner of its Operating Partnership. As of December 31, 2025, the Company owned 98.4% of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership, in turn, owns all of the outstanding common stock of the Sub-REIT. The Sub-REIT elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2020.
