Held for sale properties

The Company periodically classifies real estate assets as held for sale when the held for sale criteria are met in accordance with GAAP. At that time, the Company presents the net real estate assets separately in its consolidated balance sheet, and the Company ceases recording depreciation and amortization expense related to any property classified as held for sale. Real estate held for sale is reported at the lower of its carrying amount or its estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell. Where the carrying amount of a property exceeds its estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell, the Company records an impairment charge with respect to such property. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded approximately $14.4 million and $24.9 million of impairment charges on real estate assets held for sale, respectively. The total impairment charges recorded include approximately $1.8 million and $1.9 million of casualty related impairment for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and are included in gain (loss) on sales and impairment of real estate, net on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were 646 and 376 homes that were classified as held for sale, respectively. These held for sale properties had a carrying amount of approximately $91.5 million and $55.6 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the total impairment charges on these held for sale properties was approximately $5.4 million and $12.4 million, respectively.
