Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Accounting

Basis of Accounting

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual amounts realized or paid could differ from those estimates. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments and eliminations necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 have been included. Such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

The Company accounts for partnerships, joint ventures and other similar entities in which it holds an ownership interest in accordance with FASB ASC 810, Consolidation. The Company first evaluates whether each entity is a variable interest

entity (“VIE”). Under the VIE model, the Company consolidates an entity when it has control to direct the activities of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Under the voting model, the Company consolidates an entity when it controls the entity through ownership of a majority voting interest.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the OP and its subsidiaries. The Company’s sole significant asset is its investment in the OP, and consequently, substantially all of the Company’s assets and liabilities represent those assets and liabilities of the OP.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests represent the ownership interests in the OP held by entities other than the Company. Those noncontrolling interests that the holder is allowed to redeem before liquidation or termination of the entity that issued those interests are considered redeemable noncontrolling interests.

The OP has issued redeemable noncontrolling interests classified on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as temporary equity in accordance with ASC 480. This is presented as “Redeemable noncontrolling interests in the OP” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and their share of “Net Income (Loss)” as “Net Income (Loss) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests in the OP” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The redeemable noncontrolling interests were initially measured at fair value. The redeemable noncontrolling interests will be adjusted to their redemption value if such value exceeds the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests. Capital contributions, distributions and profits and losses are allocated to the redeemable noncontrolling interests in accordance with the terms of the partnership agreements of the OP.

Reclassification of Prior Year Activity on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows

Reclassification of Prior Year Activity on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows

Certain reclassifications have been made within the consolidated statements of cash flows to proceeds from asset redemptions and proceeds from sale of investments for the year ended December 31, 2024 to be comparative to the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

I.
U.S. REIT Status

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code"), and expects to continue to qualify as a REIT. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute annually at least 90% of its “REIT taxable income,” as defined by the Code, to its shareholders. As a REIT, the Company will be subject to federal income tax on its undistributed REIT taxable income and net capital gain and to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on any amount by which distributions it pays with respect to any calendar year are less than the sum of (1) 85% of its ordinary income, (2) 95% of its capital gain net income and (3) 100% of its undistributed income from prior years. The Company intends to operate in such a manner so as to qualify as a REIT, but no assurance can be given that the Company will operate in a manner so as to qualify as a REIT. Taxable income from certain non-REIT activities is managed through a TRS and is subject to applicable federal, state, and local income and margin taxes.

If the Company fails to meet these requirements, it could be subject to federal income tax on all of the Company’s taxable income at regular corporate rates for that year. The Company would not be able to deduct distributions paid to shareholders in any year in which it fails to qualify as a REIT. Additionally, the Company will also be disqualified from electing to be taxed as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost unless the Company is entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions. As of December 31, 2025, the Company believes it is in compliance with all applicable REIT requirements.

As a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company may deduct earnings distributed to shareholders against the income generated by our REIT operations. The Company continues to be subject to income taxes on the income of its taxable REIT subsidiaries. A reconciliation of the deferred tax asset (liability) for the periods indicated is as follows (in thousands):

The Company’s tax provision for annual periods is determined using an estimate of its annual current and deferred effective tax rates, adjusted for discrete items. Our effective tax rates for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were 0.09% and (2.49%), respectively. Our effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory corporate tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to our REIT operations generally not being subject to federal income taxes.

The Company recognizes its tax positions and evaluates them using a two-step process. First, the Company determines whether a tax position is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Second, the Company will determine the amount of benefit to recognize and record the amount that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement.

The Company had no material unrecognized tax benefit or expense, accrued interest or penalties as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to federal income tax as well as income tax of various state and local jurisdictions. The 2024, 2023 and 2022 tax years remain open to examination by tax jurisdictions to which the Company and its subsidiaries are subject. When applicable, the Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions on its Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The Company has not recorded any uncertain tax positions for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

As further described in Note 3, the Company has elected to prospectively adopt the guidance in Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, or ASU 2023-09. The following table is a reconciliation of the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate to the Company’s effective rate in accordance with the guidance in ASU No. 2023-09 (in thousands, except percentages):

II.
Canadian mutual fund status

Through April 17, 2025, NHT was a mutual fund trust pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”). Under the-then current tax legislation, a mutual fund trust that was not a specified investment flow-through trust (“SIFT”) pursuant to the Tax Act generally was entitled to deduct distributions of taxable income such that it was not liable to pay Canadian income taxes provided that its taxable income was fully distributed to unitholders. On April 17, 2025, in connection with the merger of NHT into the Company, NHT ceased to exist as a separate entity and no longer qualified for mutual fund trust status. Accordingly, the mutual fund trust provisions described above are no longer applicable subsequent to the merger date.

Deferred Tax Assets

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, significant components of the net deferred tax assets (“DTA”) of the Company’s TRSs were as follows (in thousands):

The Company may not offset tax assets or liabilities from one TRS with those of another TRS. NHF TRS, LLC, one of the Company's TRSs, is estimated to generate a net taxable capital loss of $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and generated a net taxable capital loss of $7.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company believes it is more likely than not that it will be able to harvest capital losses within this TRS during the three succeeding taxable years to be eligible for a capital loss carryback refund claim and has therefore not applied a valuation allowance to the extent of the expected future refund claim. As such, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $11.5 million and $10.5 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, against the Company’s gross deferred tax assets to arrive at a net DTA of $2.4 million and $4.5 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, to reflect the expected tax benefit associated with the unrealized tax losses at this TRS. NREO TRS, LLC ("NREO TRS") has an estimated net operating loss balance of $2.1 million as of December 31, 2025 that does not have an expiration date as well as an estimated $0.7 million capital loss balance as of December 31, 2025 that will expire if not utilized by the end of 2026. The Company believes that it will be able to fully utilize the tax assets from NREO TRS and has not therefore applied a valuation allowance to the $0.6 million DTA generated by this TRS. NREO TRS, one of the Company's TRSs, had an estimated net operating loss balance of 0.7 million as of December 31, 2024 that does not have an expiration date as well as an estimated $0.7 million capital loss balance as of December 31, 2024, that will expire if not utilized within the succeeding four taxable years.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of six months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. Substantially all amounts on deposit with major financial institutions exceed insured limits. Restricted cash represents cash deposited in accounts related to security deposits, property taxes, insurance premiums and deductibles and other lender-required escrows. Amounts deposited in the reserve accounts associated with the loans can only be used as provided for in the respective loan agreements, and security deposits held pursuant to lease agreements are required to be segregated.

Income Recognition

Income Recognition

Rental Income – The Company has made several investments in direct real estate. The primary operations of these direct real estate investments consist of rental income earned from its tenants under lease agreements. Rental income is recognized on the straight-line method over the related terms of the leases. Tenant and resident reimbursements and other income consist of charges billed to tenants for utilities, administrative, application and other fees and are recognized when earned which is included in rental income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Interest Income – Debt investments where the Company expects to collect the contractual interest and principal payments are considered to be performing. The Company recognizes income on performing debt investments in accordance with the terms of the investment on an accrual basis. Interest income also includes amortization of loan premiums or discounts and loan origination costs and prepayment penalties.

Dividend Income – Dividends and other corporate actions are recorded on the ex-dividend date except for certain foreign corporate actions, which are recorded as soon after ex-dividend date as such information becomes available and is verified.

Realized Gain (Loss) on Investments - The Company recognizes the excess, or deficiency, of net proceeds received, less the carrying value of such investments, as realized gains or losses, respectively. The Company reverses cumulative, unrealized gains or losses previously reported in its Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) with respect to the investment sold at the time of the sale.

Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Investments – Unrealized gains and losses represent changes in fair value for equity method investments, CLO equity investments, bonds, common stock, convertible notes, LLC interests, LP interests, rights and warrants, and senior loans for which the fair value option has been elected.

Hotel Revenue Recognition

Hotel Revenue Recognition

Rooms revenue is recognized over the length of a customer’s hotel stay.

Food and beverage (“F&B”) revenue generally consists of goods and ancillary service charges the customer separately chooses to purchase and are recognized generally when the goods or services are provided to the customer.

Expense Recognition

Expense Recognition

Interest expense - Interest expense in accordance with the Company’s financing agreements, is recorded on the accrual basis.

Property operating expenses - Property operating expenses include property maintenance costs, salary and employee benefit costs, utilities, casualty-related expenses and recoveries and other property operating costs.

Property management fees - Property management fees include fees paid to NexVest, our property manager, for managing each property directly or indirectly owned by us (see Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements) and other property managers for managing the day-to-day operations of our hotels.

Real estate taxes and insurance - Real estate taxes include the property taxes assessed by local and state authorities depending on the location of each property. Insurance includes the cost of commercial, general liability, and other needed insurance for each property.

Advisory and administrative fees - Advisory and administrative fees include the fees paid to our Adviser pursuant to the Advisory Agreement (see Note 13).

Property general and administrative expense - Property general and administrative expenses include the costs of marketing, professional fees, general office supplies, and other administrative related costs of each property.

Corporate general and administrative expenses - Corporate general and administrative expenses include, but are not limited to, audit fees, legal fees, listing fees, board of trustee fees, equity-based compensation expense, investor relations costs and payments of reimbursements to our Adviser for operating expenses. Additionally, in the sole discretion of the Adviser, the Adviser may elect to waive certain advisory and administrative fees otherwise due. If advisory and administrative fees are waived in a period, the waived fees for that period are considered to be waived permanently and the Adviser may not be reimbursed in the future.

Depreciation and amortization - Depreciation and amortization costs primarily include depreciation of our properties and amortization of leases or expenses.

Investments

Investments

The Company holds investments in publicly traded companies and privately held entities primarily involved in the life science, multifamily, self-storage, single-family rental, mortgage lending, and hospitality industries. Each investment is evaluated to determine whether the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over an investee. Investments are evaluated in which Company ownership is equal to or greater than 20%, but less than or equal to 50%, of an investee’s voting stock with a presumption that the Company has this ability. For our investments in limited partnerships and functional equivalents that maintain specific ownership accounts, we presume that such ability exists when our ownership interest exceeds 3% to 5%. In addition to the Company’s ownership interest, the Company also considers whether it has a board seat or whether it participates in the policy-making process, among other criteria, to determine if we have an ability to exert significant influence, but not control, over an investee. If we determine that we have such ability, but we do not control, we account for the investment under the equity method of accounting, as described below.

Investments that qualify for the equity method of accounting – Under the equity method of accounting, the Company initially recognizes its investment at cost and subsequently adjusts the carrying amount of the investments for its share of earnings and losses reported by the investee, distributions received, and other-than-temporary impairments. The Company has elected the fair value option for several of its investments that would otherwise be accounted for under the equity method. Distributions from these investments are accounted for as Interest and Dividend income and mark-to-market gains and losses are included in Change in Unrealized Gains/(Losses) on the consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). For more information about the Company’s investments accounted for under the equity method, refer to Note 8 – Equity Method Investments. The Company has elected for certain of the equity method investments to be measured using fair value. Summarized financial information for significant equity method investments, as determined in accordance with Rule 8-03(b)(3) of Regulation S-X, for which results are not available on a timely basis, are reported on a three-month lag.

Investments that do not qualify for the equity method of accounting – For investees over which we determine that we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence or control, we account for each investment depending on whether it is an investment in a (i) publicly traded company, (ii) privately held entity that reports net asset value (“NAV”) per share, or (iii) privately held entity that does not report NAV per share, as described below.

Investments in publicly traded companies – Our investments in publicly traded companies are classified as investments with readily determinable fair values and are presented at fair value in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, with changes in fair value classified in change in unrealized gain (loss) in our Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The fair values of our investments in publicly traded companies are determined based on sales prices or quotes available on securities exchanges.

Investments in privately held companies – Our investments in privately held entities without readily determinable fair values consist of (i) investments in privately held entities that report NAV per share and (ii) investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV per share. These investments are accounted for as follows:

Investments in privately held entities that report NAV per share – Investments in privately held entities that elect the fair value option that report NAV per share, such as our privately held investments in limited partnerships, are presented at fair value using NAV, with changes in fair value recognized in net income. We use NAV per share reported by limited partnerships generally without adjustment, unless we are aware of information indicating that the NAV reported by a limited partnership does not accurately reflect the fair value of the investment at our reporting date.

Investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV per share – Investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV per share are accounted for using a valuation technique described further in Note 9 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

Impairment evaluation of equity method investments – We monitor equity method investments not reported at fair value for indicators that a decrease in the value of the investment has occurred that is other than temporary. If such indicators are present, we are required to estimate the investment’s fair value and immediately recognize an impairment charge in an amount equal to the investment’s carrying value in excess of its estimated fair value.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy):

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
Level 3 inputs are the unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumption, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on input from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The Company utilizes independent third parties to perform the allocation of value analysis for each property acquisition and to perform the market valuations on its derivative financial instruments and has established policies, as described above, processes and procedures intended to ensure that the valuation methodologies for investments and derivative financial instruments are fair and consistent as of the measurement date.

Valuation of Investments

Valuation of Investments

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s fair valued investments consisted of senior loans, corporate bonds, collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs"), convertible notes, common stocks, rights, warrants, LP interests and LLC interests. The fair value of the Company’s senior loans, bonds, and CLOs are generally based on quotes received from brokers or independent pricing services. Senior loans, bonds, and CLOs with quotes that are based on actual trades with a sufficient level of activity on or near the measurement date are classified as Level 2 assets. Senior loans, bonds, and CLOs that are priced using quotes derived from implied values, indicative bids, or a limited number of actual trades are classified as Level 3 assets because the inputs used by the brokers and pricing services to derive the values are not readily observable. The Company has elected for certain of the equity method investments to be measured using fair value. The Company has elected for all debt instruments to be measured using fair value.

The fair value of the Company’s common stocks, rights, and warrants that are not actively traded on national exchanges are generally priced using quotes derived from implied values, indicative bids, or a limited amount of actual trades and are classified as Level 3 assets because the inputs used by the brokers and pricing services to derive the values are not readily observable. At the end of each calendar quarter, the Adviser evaluates the Level 2 and 3 assets and liabilities for changes in liquidity, including but not limited to: whether a broker is willing to execute at the quoted price, the depth and consistency of prices from third party services, and the existence of contemporaneous, observable trades in the market. Additionally, the Adviser evaluates the Level 1 and 2 assets and liabilities on a quarterly basis for changes in listings or delistings on national exchanges. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values the Company may ultimately realize. Further, such investments may be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise be less liquid than publicly traded securities.

The fair value of the Company’s investments in common stock, exchange-traded funds, other registered investment companies and warrants that are not actively traded on national exchanges are generally priced using quotes derived from implied values, indicative bids, or a limited amount of actual trades and are classified as Level 3 assets because the inputs used by the brokers and pricing services to derive the values are not readily observable. The Company’s real estate investments include equity interests in limited liability companies and equity issued by REITs that invest in commercial real estate. The fair value of real estate investments that are not actively traded on national exchanges are based on internal models developed by the Adviser. The significant inputs to the models include cash flow projections for the underlying properties, capitalization rates and appraisals performed by independent valuation firms. These inputs are not readily observable, and the Company has classified the investments as Level 3 assets. Exchange-traded options are valued based on the last trade price on the primary exchange on which they trade. If an option does not trade, the mid-price, which is the mean of the bid and ask price, is utilized to value the option.

The fair value of the Company’s convertible notes are categorized as Level 3 assets in the fair value hierarchy. Convertible notes are valued using a discounted cash flow model using discount rates derived from observable market data applied to the internal rate of return implied by the expected contractual cash flows.

Distributions from equity method investments

Distributions from equity method investments

We use the “nature of the distribution” approach to determine the classification within our consolidated statements of cash flows of cash distributions received from equity method investments, including our unconsolidated real estate joint ventures and equity method non-real estate investments. Under this approach, distributions are classified based on the nature of the underlying activity that generated the cash distributions. Under the cumulative earnings approach, distributions up to the amount of cumulative equity in earnings recognized are classified as cash inflows from operating activities, and those in excess of that amount are classified as cash inflows from investing activities.

Leases

Leases

The Company’s leasing activities are accounted for under ASC 842, Leases, if an identified contract is, or contains, a lease.

Lessors classify leases as either sales-type, direct financing or operating leases. A lease is classified as a sales-type lease if at least one of the following criteria is met: (1) the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee, (2) the lease grants the lessee an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise, (3) the lease term is for a major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset, (4) the present value of the sum of the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the underlying assets, or (5) the underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term. If none of the above criteria is met, a lease is classified as a direct financing lease if both of the following criteria are met: (1) the present value of the of the sum of the lease payments and any residual value guaranteed by the lessee that is not already reflected in

the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the underlying asset’s fair value and (2) it is probable that the lessor will collect the lease payments plus any amount necessary to satisfy a residual value guarantee. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not qualify as a sales-type or direct financing lease. All of the leasing arrangements where the Company is the lessor are classified as operating leases.

Lessees classify leases as either finance or operating leases. A lease is classified as a finance lease if at least one of the following criteria is met: (1) the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee, (2) the lease grants the lessee an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise, (3) the lease term is for a major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset, (4) the present value of the sum of the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset, or (5) the underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term. A lease is classified as an operating lease if none of the five criteria described above for finance lease classification is met. The Company has one finance lease related to the Bradenton Hampton Inn & Suites, and one operating lease related to HUB Research Triangle Park, which are included in “Right-of-use assets” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Purchase Price Allocation

Purchase Price Allocation

Upon acquisition of a property considered to be an asset acquisition, the purchase price and related acquisition costs (“total consideration”) are allocated to land, buildings, improvements, furniture, fixtures, and equipment, and intangible lease assets and liabilities in accordance with FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations.

The allocation of total consideration, which is determined using inputs that are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy established by FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) (see Note 9), is based on management’s estimate of the property’s “as-if” vacant fair value and is calculated by using all available information such as the replacement cost of such asset, appraisals, property condition reports, market data and other related information. If any debt is assumed in an acquisition, the difference between the fair value, which is estimated using inputs that are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and the face value of debt is recorded as a premium or discount and amortized as interest expense over the life of the debt assumed.

Operating Real Estate Investments

Real estate assets, including land, buildings, improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment, and intangible lease assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Costs incurred in making repairs and maintaining real estate assets are expensed as incurred. Expenditures for improvements, renovations, and replacements are capitalized at cost. Real estate-related depreciation and amortization are computed on a straight-line basis generally over the estimated useful lives as described in the following table:

Construction in progress includes the cost of renovation projects being performed at the various properties. Once a project is complete, the historical cost of the renovation is placed into service in one of the categories above depending on the type of renovation project and is depreciated over the estimated useful lives as described in the table above.

Impairment

Impairment

Real estate assets held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The key inputs into our impairment analysis include, but are not limited to, the holding period, net operating income, and capitalization rates. In such cases, we will evaluate the recoverability of such real estate assets based on estimated future cash flows and the estimated liquidation value of such real estate assets, and provide for impairment if such undiscounted cash flows are insufficient to recover the carrying amount of the real estate asset. If impaired, the real estate asset will be written down to its estimated fair value. The Company’s impairment analysis identifies and evaluates events or changes in circumstances that indicate the carrying amount of a real estate investment may not be recoverable, including determining the period the Company will hold the rental property, net operating income, and the estimated capitalization rate for each respective real estate investment. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded approximately $0.6 million and $5.2 million, respectively, of impairment loss on real estate held and used, which is included in impairment loss on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Held for Sale

Held for Sale

The Company periodically classifies real estate assets as held for sale when certain criteria are met in accordance with GAAP. At that time, the Company presents the net real estate assets and the liabilities associated with the real estate held for sale separately in its consolidated balance sheet, and the Company ceases recording depreciation and amortization expense related to that property. Real estate held for sale is reported at the lower of its carrying amount or its estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were zero and three properties classified as held for sale, respectively. In addition to the net real estate assets, the Consolidated Balance Sheets also include approximately $0 million and $0.1 million of accounts receivable and prepaid and other assets, and approximately $0 million and $0.8 million of accounts payable, real estate taxes payable, security deposits, prepaid rents, and other accrued liabilities related to assets held for sale as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded approximately $1.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively, of losses on real estate held for sale, which are included in impairment loss on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting

In 2024, we adopted ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which requires a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items in interim and annual periods and expands the GAAP disclosure requirements for interim periods. The ASU 2023-07 also explicitly requires public entities with a single reportable segment to provide all segment disclosures under GAAP. The Company identifies and discloses its reporting segment(s) in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting. In applying this guidance, the Company first identifies its operating segment(s) from the component(s) where: (1) it engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenue and incur expenses, (2) its operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and (3) its discrete financial information is available. Reportable segments are generally those operating segments that meet certain quantitative thresholds. The Company has determined it has two reportable segments: Diversified and Hospitality.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU-2023-09”), which introduced enhancements to income tax disclosures. The Company adopted this new standard beginning with the 2025 annual reporting, which did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires disclosures of disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items on an annual and interim basis. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted, and should be applied prospectively, with the option to apply retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the amendments on its disclosures.
